"Whew! That is one tough girl!"
 18 comments  wordless wednesday  chloe, magnus Copyright © 2011 Lessons From and For 4 Legs - All Rights ReservedThere has been a lot of fun around here lately. So much fun I’m giving you the cliff notes version.  Sit stays for CDX (Twist is the Sheltie) On Friday Magnus and I spent the day at an obedience trial. Of course he wasn’t entered, but it was excellent socialization for him and a great chance to learn self control and patience in his crate around lots of other dogs. It was an especially exciting day since we got to see our friend Twist earn his CDX. Twist is one of my favorite 4legged friends, he has so much character. Maizey was not left out of the fun since she spent the day with Chloe and Charley. Last week Magnus got to have his first take your dog to work day where he learned all about riding in the big truck.
In other Magnus news he starts Agility For Fun class on thursday night. I am excited, but also nervous-as usual. Unfortunately we had a funeral to attend in Saturday so we missed Maizey’s Petite Pals class. Next week we’ll be back on schedule with that.
Marie gave us a new crate that Maizey loves. It’s a soft sided travel crate, but it is super light and the best one I’ve had yet. Maizey loves it so much that I’ve hardly been able to get her out of it since I set it up! Thanks Marie! Charley and Chloe are staying with us this week, so Magnus is in heaven. He is in love with Chloe and they play so well together. I figure with all four of them to walk I ought to get in some good miles for the Challenge. If you have suggestions for managing a four dog household I would love to hear them! Well this is a disjointed crazy post, but I wanted to at least update for myself. Don’t give up on our poor neglected blog, I have a big announcement coming with exciting news so you’ll have to keep coming around for that! 10 comments 4legged friends, 4legged health or the lack thereof, agility for fun, classes, Petite Pals, walking challenges 4 legged friends, charley, chloe, day-to-day ramblings, magnus, maizey maymay Copyright © 2011 Lessons From and For 4 Legs - All Rights ReservedMore exciting Walking Challenge business! We have new 2011 Walking Challenge members! Carrie from All Things Dog Blog found us and joined our Challenge with her two 4legged friends, Tanner and Oliver. Carrie also invited all of her readers to join us and Elizabeth, Cocoa and Oreo also joined us. A huge welcome to them and thanks for sharing our excitement and joining our challenge! We now have nine people and 22 4legged friends in our challenge! I have gotten to know you all, but I’m going to bite off more than I can probably chew and start a series to highlight each team of walkers in the challenge so we can all get to know each other. If you want to be featured please email a picture of yourself and short bio of your 4legged friends. It doesn’t have to be anything too much, but names, ages, perhaps how your 4legged friends came into your life and a couple fun facts about how the walking challenge is going for you. It might be your favorite place to walk, or how you get motivated, you could even share what your biggest challenge is in the Walking Challenge. You could let us know what your favorite walk this year has been and why. I would also love to know some training tidbit you do on your walks, this is training blog after all! As the emails come in I will do my best to post the stories as quick as I can and of course leave links to any of your blogs. By doing this I hope we can build enthusiasm and support each other even more. We really are accomplishing a great deal with this challenge. We are 83 days into the year. Some of us are behind, some are ahead and all together we have walked an impressive 396 miles! It’s not too late to get caught up and with warmer weather and longer daylight hours upon us I know we can all do it! I know there are those of you out there with miles to report, so turn in those miles folks and lets get that total mileage over 400! A Great Walk First Magnus and I walked to the park with Chloe, Charley and my mom. When we got to the park we met Indigo and his family. Indigo is a 4 month old Golden Retriever. He was not only a handsome and big boy but had wonderful manners. After the dogs met and got to know each other Indigo and Magnus got the zoomies. These were serious puppy zoomies so I was super proud of my crazy boy when he could do a perfect recall, come in for a collar grab and take a break from the crazy fun. I was even more pleasantly surprised when Indigo’s mom said, “You use the same words we use at puppy class!” I laughed and asked, “Do you train at Calling All Dogs?” They are in Puppy Prep right now and it seems they are doing great. Indigo did fabulous with his gotcha’s and it was thrilling to see someone working with their pup and applying what they learn. After we got home I couldn’t leave my little girl home so we headed out for another two mile jaunt. She did great, with only one reaction and that at 5 dogs in two yards right next to each other. Even then we got a chance to c/t for reorienting to me and we were able to move on quickly. These were my best walks this year and I am looking forward to many more! So there’s my three miles for the day, how ’bout the rest of you? Lets get this walking challenge rockin’! 5 comments 4legged friends, walking challenges 4 legged friends, charley, chloe, magnus, maizey maymay, walking challenges Copyright © 2011 Lessons From and For 4 Legs - All Rights Reserved
