Happiness

This was before she won Best Puppy and Best in Show at the Sanction match. I know I posted something about this on the All About Our Dogs blog but wanted something here to remind me when I look back at her blog.

Changes

Jeannie is actually starting to NOT bark when she is trying to demand play or a treat or something. She is finding it just is not working for her. She still tries every now and then to see if we changed our minds but there is a significant change. We stay consistent and it will come.

She is also calming down not testing as much and remains playful.

She doesn't mind the rain. I can't wait to see her in the snow.

She is also starting to grow. Next month I will have to wicket her to see how tall she is at the withers.

She is also teething like crazy chewing and looking for relief. Her teeth have not fallen out yet but they will anytime now.

Determined

It doesn't matter how big the ball is Jeannie always manages to get the item thrown and bring it back.

Sometimes she plays the game of drop it 2 feet from you incase you will allow her to make HER own rules.

If you do, you got work to do to get them to bring it all the way again. They can easily change the rule sof the game, if allowed.

What a Loss

Jeannie missed half of the class as Nathan was in the bathroom due to what we figure is food poisoning. Beyond the fact we missed 2 weeks in a row due to the Spice pups - well it was a wash for Jeannie but a delight to see Timmy and Cha Cha.

We will have to repeat this class, me thinks. :-)

Playing Catchup

Playing catch-up with Jeannie due to the Spice pups is hard. We are usually very on top of this but this time life had other plans so we will continue to do this or repeat this class or start handling.

We have not figured it out.

Jeannie had a bath today in-between feedings and Nathan was working on her stay but it's not there in the least.

So we will have fun in class and laugh and move forward and enjoy seeing Cha Cha and Timmy be stars. They did have a class before this one under their belts so although Timmy missed a class I expect him to ace this - no pressure. :-)
