Both Our 4Legged Girls Went Traveling

By katie, on July 20th, 2010

“WELCOME TO OUR NEW HOME!”

Before their crazymomlady spent 2 days sitting dazed and confused in front of the computer screen Maizey and Meeka and their crazy-biped-friends went traveling.

It was a short but fun trip to go visit Dare, Zoe and all of their 4legged and biped-friends.

This was a special treat for me since we got to go as a family. It’s a rare treat that all 4 of us get to take time off at the same time so that made the trip perfect from the start.

It is crazy to me how taking one more pup and one mehusbandy results in so much more packing and so much more stuff! I wish I was one of those people who could travel hundreds of miles with a backpack and hoody, alas I am not. Especially with the dogs I seem to take more than 10 dogs would ever need!

We did some fun training with both girls. I decided to jump on the Susan Garrett recall wagon and try what she has been teaching us all on her blog. More of that to come after the video is edited.

Maizey passed her L2 sit-stay, down-stay and watch tests. Video to come with that too. The thing I was the most proud of was how well she handled herself with the kennel dogs. Sorry to be a broken record but, video in process there too.

While we did plenty of training we also just relaxed and took an awesome hike.

"Look crazymomlady! I can climb a tree!"

This time on our hike Lucy and Penny joined us. They may be the old girls in their house but nothing slows them down!

And the best part of the hike? Having our big girl with us. She did get stiff and sore, but I think it was worth it to her!

"This is as deep as I go!"

    We have been doing the SG recalls and hope you have been having as much fun as we have-but it does feel like it is keeping us pretty busy, and we too are BIG levels fants, so congrats on passing the L2 behaviors, that is terrific.
    I am so with you on the packing thing, you never know what you are going to need so I have a bad habit of trying to bring it all, wish I was one of those people who grabs a leash and some water and a hoodie and is out the door.
    GREAT pictures, what a pretty place—Kathy Liz/Breeze/Cricket from agilityadventures

    hi kathy, I could certainly do better with the SG recalls, but we have enjoyed what we have done with them. Thanks about the L2 skills, we still have some to go, but it is a great program and I am not really rushing through it. Thanks for commenting!

    Hi Y’all!

    Looks like everybody had a great time.

    When we go on a trip I have more to take than the Humans do, unless you count their laptops. We always carry several gallons of water for me, too.

    I think a couple of blogs on my list have gotten the Stylish Award before. This is my fourth Stylish. Everytime it gives me an opportunity to post the Award in the side bar linking to the presenter. So I have 4 Stylish posted there now, each linking a different blog. It also gives me a chance to promote more blogs that I enjoy and/or find educational.

    Great new site! Neat way y’all announced it!

    Y’all come back now,
    Hawk aka BrownDog

      Thanks Hawk Dog! Thats cool you keep posting the award, it’s really nice of you!
