This, That and Tiny Furry Sumo Wrestling

By katie, on April 29th, 2011

It seems the only thing I write about anymore is the Walking Challenge. Which is exciting since today I finished my goal of 30 miles in a month for the first time! So click treat for us on that one, and we still have tomorrow, we might actually get caught up a bit.

We are doing other things around here. Today we took in Charley and Chloe for two weeks, so we are temporarily a four dog household. . . Whew! Four dogs, two of whom are adolescents, really keep you hopping!

Today it looked like it might stop leaking slush from the sky for a bit so I thought we should all go to the park, but of course by the time I had them all loaded into their crates in the car it was blizzarding slush from the sky.

So we drove to the park and I thought I would use the time to work on Chloe’s car fears. After c/t her for quiet and downs and other relaxed behaviors we drove around some more c/t’ing as we went. By that time I felt like it would be cruel to not let them out for a run and the slushing had let up a bit. Of course by the time I had them all out and leashed up it was back to blizzarding so we all got thoroughly soaked.

Can we please have sunshine now?

Magnus’ loves having Chloe here. It’s like a 24/7 little furry sumo wrestling match. Those two are so funny. I have video to put up, but am having technical difficulties so movie making is on hold. If you remember this WW, it pretty much sums it up though.

I am so excited for tomorrow, Maizey starts her Clicks and Tricks class. I’m not even sure what we will be learning, but I know it will be a combo of shaping and luring and. . . tricks, of course!

I decided not announce exactly what the prizes for the Walking Challenge giveaway will be until closer to the giveaway, but I will tell you the prize packages have themes and I think they are all cute as can be! Some of you have already completed posts about the Challenge and I will be posting links on Monday with the “Monday Miles” post.

So other than the new car, the fabulous gift we got from Reilly (great big thanks and a post is in the making), the new washer and dryer (it actually has a cycle for pet beds, could it be anymore perfect for me?), the fact that we might be moving, and about 26,000 other random things I haven’t posted about you are all caught up now! Okay, not quite, but at least I fit in the important things-the dogs!

    Been bad at keeping up on our miles (135.5) but this is our busy season, as Lacrosse takes up a fair chunk of time and we compensate by playing a lot of fetch – good for them, not so much for us!

      Hi Kathleen, 135.5 is awesome! I think many of us are a bit behind, but we all have time to get caught up by the giveaway.:) I understand about being busy, we do lots of fetch and other games too. . . maybe we should pedometers on the dogs!LOL

      BTW you might want to check out our FB page, there has been some great motivation there as it lets people update with short little blurbs instead of a whole post. We had one member announce she met her monthly goal 2/3 days early!(I can’t remember which;)) You just have to Like: http://www.facebook.com/lessonsfrom4legs. I’m mainly using that for FB anyways so we would love to have you! Thanks for being a part of our challenge! We would love to see some walking pics for your Daily Shoot, then you could be entered for two of the prizes in the giveaway!:))

    30 miles in a month, that’s wonderful! I walk Mika and Eva but it rains a lot lately so we don’t walk much, however, I do enjoy the walks with them. We will resume the walk once the weather is better.
    Keep the good work!
