Wheres Toto Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Morning, Happy Sunday. I slept in a little bit today. Ds actually woke up before me (NEVER happens). He wasn't feeling well yesterday. Lately it seems like he starts getting headaches and feels icky when he doesn't eat enough, and it seems like that line of not eating enough is lower than it used to be. Maybe a teenage boy thing? Today is laundry day. Set up school day. Flyers for future class stuff day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just had his annual physical but no blood work was ordered. He was supposed to have it done last year but we had trouble with the lab losing the electronic prescription and by the time we resorted to just getting a hard copy from the doctor to bring with us Covid was going full blast and we didn't want to go sit at the lab place for hours. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Dh was grooming Sir Pups-a-lot when I got home from 3rd service, and apparently when I am trying to help, pup gets too wiggly. So I was banished from the kitchen. Too bad, lol! Guess I'll have to go read a book. I'm having a hard time finishing a 4th Challies reading challenge book. I've started and not finished about 3 books now. Today's theme comes courtesy of JJM - It's not a question of if I will survive ds16, but whether or not he will survive me! Svengo. I might need more coffee. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 So yesterday as we were heading back to the cars at the end of our hike, we ran into a very petite lady who asked if we were training for something and it turns out she solo hiked the entire AT not long ago. Took 7 months to go from Georgia to Maine. So cool. (I don't want to do that, lol.) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Today's agility report: When we get to agility a bit early, we all let our dogs run in a fenced field adjacent to the agility arena. Juliet had a blast getting rid of her wiggles before class. She's really starting to get down more of the obstacles. She now can do the chute (a fabric tunnel that they have to push through) without me peeking through it. And she's starting to wait at the top of the teeter (totter) for it to gently go down before advancing. Which is good, because they can catapult themselves if they go down it too fast. But she did fall off of the high dog walk (a doggy balance beam) - a four foot drop. But she's a sturdy dog and was fine. After agility, some lady I didn't know showed up with her dog and was very sad that everyone was leaving without more running around the field. So I took pity on her and her dog and let Juliet have a second run in the field. Juliet liked this new puppy - they play in a very similar style. Needless to say, Juliet is very tired tonight!! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Good morning! It's The Queen's favorite day! Happy March! We have lots of celebrations this month. Not so much with the sleeping last night, but coffee is helping. The bunnies got a new hay feeder last night and they haven't destroyed it yet. It's fabric, but I lined the openings with binder clips to (hopefully) prevent them from chewing on it. Registration for a dog obedience class opens tonight at 6:00 and the email said classes are usually full within 2 to 5 minutes, so dh is going to drop off kids at orchestra and bring other kids to Scouts so I can be available to register right at 6. This is the only program that offers agility in my area, so I am hoping to get in for that eventually. In the meantime, the girls like to build jumps for the pup in the yard out of sticks and brooms, lol. Coffee! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there is one other place, but it costs $300 for 4 sessions. Maybe I'll have the girls work on building some agility equipment. I gotta borrow ds25's car to go pick up kids from youth symphony.

There are some other group classes in the area, but many don't seem to be scheduling anything during the plague, or you have to pay for very pricey private training sessions before you can get into their group class. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he saw that they were coming our way, he immediately went "down" and stayed there shivering with excitement until they reached us.

Susan, are you trying to get Chester into obedience or agility? Because at least here, even beginning agility requires that dogs be mostly solid on the basic obedience commands. For instance, "down" is a required command for one of the obstacles. But of course it's "down" plus the obstacle so a bit more difficult. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is pretty reliable on commands when in the house, but his adhd kicks into overdrive when we are outside, so that's why we're upping our effort. Also why I am hoping to get him into a group class so he can practice commands when other dogs are around and possibly ignoring him, lol.

I have such a hard time finding shoes that fit, and now it seems that my feet have changed shape (again). Shoes are my nemesis, it seems. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
