I’m enjoying a holiday with Vikki at my human Grandparents’ home in England and I had such a great surprise when Ridgeback boy Kali came over with his humans Kevin and Vikki (he’s got a Vikki human too!)

I was missing my doggie friends in France, so I was super happy to see Kali and I couldn’t wait to show off all my nifty running and leaping skills.

Hi Kali – wanna play?

Warm up moves

Aha! fooled ya – other way!

What about this way – whheeeeee!

Betcha can’t catch me!

Kali is a year older than me and he is a very handsome Ridgeback boy.  I soon realised that not only could he keep up with me on every turn and trick but he was also a lot stronger and bigger…Uh-oh!…Nah! I could handle it!  Kali is such a fun-loving, cool guy who has a lot of respect for us Ridgeback girls.

I’m very polite to him too and I show him my excellent Ridgeback manners, that way I can still have some cheeky fun play.  Anyway, he doesn’t mind that much when I zoom past him ….neeeeeeyauuuu!

He’s coming straight at me..emergency handbrake turn!

Yikes – collision approaching!

Phew – missed!

uh-oh – he’s fast on his turns!

Before I knew it, we were racing Ridgeback zoomies around the garden…

I’m faster!!  heehee

As for the jumping challenge…

He patiently watched me do my solo:

Then he showed me his version!:

After garden play, we headed to the forest for a walk.  There were lots of pine cones on the ground and Kali loved chasing the ones that his humans kicked!  I didn’t understand what he found so exciting about that!  Maybe it’s a ‘boy’ thing?

It was great to see you Kali..thanks for hanging out with me!
