Or how to kill two birds with one stone so to speak...

Yard is turning brown due to lack of rain...so I had to start watering the grass today...took the sprinkler out of the garage..and of course it didnt work...just sprayed the water in one big arch....no movement..no noise...so I just had to keep moving it around the yard all day...

Training time came around...took Ellie out and she checked it out..but stayed away from it...

She's been real good at running straight to the fall..and straight back so I thought I would try a new diversion...and send her thru the sprinkler...first couple of times she would go around it....both on the send and return...I corrected her once....resent...and soon she was jumping over the sprinkler just like my kids when they were little...( I'm thinking thats how the sprinkler got broken in the first place )

With the 80 degree plus day...she stayed cool...got to take a drink now and then....learned something new...and I got to water my grass all at the same time.....
