A certificate for Bodhi – the perfect labrador for us!

Woof woof!

I had a very important weekend because I passed my latest training course for adolescent dogs! My humans said I did really well, and I was very proud of myself (especially because there were treats involved).

I practised staying still while Tina walked away from me — which is VERY hard when you love people as much as I do. I also worked on leaving tasty treats on the floor without gobbling them up straight away (possibly the hardest challenge ever), and I even managed to walk past other dogs without pulling on my lead to say hello.

I’m getting better every week, although Tina says I still need to keep practising some of these things. Apparently “perfectly behaved Labrador” takes time! 🐾Love from Bodhi

OPAL Opinions from Bodhi (spoiler alert…. he approves!)

I LOVE OPAL playtimes because there are so many exciting things to sniff and explore. I am getting much better at chilling in the playground and I really enjoy lying in the sunshine getting lots of strokes and attention from everyone.

My favourite thing is watching the children zoom around while I supervise calmly like a very important dog… although I do like catching the balls they throw for me! In this photo I am with two of my amazing Year 5 human friends who look after me, give me lots of fuss and make sure I stay out of trouble… most of the time! 🐾🐾 Bodhi

Bodhi’s Gallery

Woof woof!

Have you seen the amazing Bodhi Day display? It’s all me—every single picture! I look very handsome from every angle (as expected). I love walking past and spotting myself again…and again…and again. It makes me feel like a very important pup. Best display ever. A big tailwagging well done to all the incredibly talented artists for creating such brilliant drawings. The colours look amazing.

A special woof-out to Mrs Engleman for being such a skilled teacher and helping everyone create such pawsome work. I think you all deserve extra treats!Bodhi

Are your listening ears ready, Bodhi?

Hi everyone, it’s me, Bodhi!

This week I got to listen to my first person reading in school — it was amazing! I was really impressed by how confident they were and how they could read all of the words so smoothly. I think I got a bit carried away with excitement… I might have left a little bit of slobber on the book (sorry about that!). But I just couldn’t help myself — it was such a good story!

I think I might be a bit better at finding tennis balls than I am at being still and listening to a story… but I will practise!Bodhi
