So... one thing is clear now - Ruudi likes swimming. It didn't take much to send him for a stick-to-be-rescued. One day for exercise with 1 m long throws - second day he went after a stick about 10 m off the shore. And what really surprised me was the selective catch. Because the pond was full of crap, he first took a random stick in he's mount and soon realized that it doesn't smell like the one to be found. On the way back swimming he made 180 degrees and went for the right one. A bit further he found another and again made a circle after being disappointed by the wrong stick. At last he found the right one and carried it out.

I'm actually quite optimistic that 20.-th of August I will take Ruudi with me when the duck hunting season starts - will be interesting. Ooh, how many ducks I have lost in front of my nose just because I don't have a nose - but Ruudi has now ;)
