*snores*

Thank goodness its dried out today! Its still cold--windy in the 40's--but we took a long walk and after some recall training, we played in the yard. I love to see them run all out!

Got the pinch collars(blunt ended), and a 30' trainer lead, and what a difference! The collars make walking much easier-for all three of us, but I'll still have to directional change to keep them guessing and paying attention!

I've got two very sleepy pups now(phew!), so its time to go get a few things done around here...

Finally...

Yeay, stitches are out, and Cleo is 40lbs, Izzy 43lbs! They're getting so big!

I'm stuck inside today(rainy and foggy--blech!) so we'll train a good bit, and I'm seriously considering getting a pinch collar for both girls. Reading lots of info on the lead pulling issue is making me lean that way.

Supposed to dry out tomorrow, maybe we'll get in a short walk today? who knows!

*shivers*

Its verry cold out today, getting colder tomorrow....our walk this morning was a bit longer, and they don't seem any worse for the wear! Hopefully this will make 'em pooped out! Tomorrow's colder with highs in the low 30s....brrrrr!
I've been meaning to post these...




We've got a new ride!

Our mommy just got a new car for us to ride around in! We can't get in until she gets a cargo barrier for us tho--she wants us to stay safe in the back!

I think these girls are going stir crazy! Tomorrow will be a week since their surgery, so I'm hoping I can get them outside to play soon....I'll havta check with their vet since they run and play HARD, and I dont want them to hurt each other!

Not so great on the accidents inside, tho I think thats a function of having to stay inside and quiet so much! I am concerned that Izzy seems to have a lumpy area around her incision from her spay, so I'll check that!

I promise pics soon!

owies

We had our surgeries on Friday, and mom & dad have been keeping us as quiet as they can...we're going bonkers! Must....Run....Play.....jump!!!

All fixed, and iz had her dew claws out...poor baby-shes got a lampshade thingy and dad has taken to calling her 'moonbeam'--its what came to mind when we saw her like that. Fortunately she doesn't chew her feet so I don't have to keep it on unless its bed time.

Today we'll do a short walk. Its verry cold here, getting colder by week's end.

I've gotta get back to regular training-outside of the everyday opportunities I use--
And pics I've got to take some!

New Year, New tricks!

Well, sorta...

Girls are gettin to be big-uns! Iz was 39lbs, Cleo 37lbs at the end of December. Surely now over 40!

Friday is the big day...gettin fixed, Izzy gets dew claws removed.

We've been cooped up inside for a while--rain and ick. Today is sunny, but windy and cold! Got our walk in earlier, and the babies are now dozing...guess I better get up and get some stuff done!

Holidays are over so its back to regular 3-4x/week training sessions, in and outside, together and separate. Walking on the leash is getting better, but turning around every pull makes our walks take a loooong time!

Pics and stuff soon!
