More Moko updates

The creek has melted and flooded all over the place at Uncle Joe's farm. Last weekend we spent time near the banks, where there was still a little crust of ice along the edge. Most of these photos are from the weekend, except the one really swampy one, that was a few days ago, that was the golden field that so many of my prior photos where taken on, now it's under water!
Moko had a blast splashing in the shallows and bobbing for chunks of ice, that he would then toss and chase, or push with his forepaws in a hilarious manner like a child with a toy truck.
He also succesfully played with Bruin. Bruin is a large young Bernese Mountain Dog. Sweet, sweet boy. Moko would always thrash and froth and roar at Bruin when on-leash and both dogs were at the farm. Been working for several sessions on lots of approach and retreat attempts. Rewarding when Moko was calm, going for timeouts in the jeep when he'd get escalated... we got to the point, this past Sunday, where Moko was accepting enough of Bruin to let them play offleash. He had a good time, so now there are two large-dogs, Bella and Bruin, that have been successful dog-to-dog socialization opportunities.
