But I don't want my nails done

It has been such a great weekend and so many fun games, why do we have to end it with nails??  Please don't make me... just give me cookies instead.

Nightly visitor

Mom has had a visitor every night when we have been out on the deck.  It lands on her book, iPad, or whatever she is doing and flaps its wings at her.  Last night I was by her chair, so it landed on the deck where i couldn't reach it and did the same thing.  She has a special friend!

next best thing?

The birds are not even out playing in the heat.  But I know they have been, they left evidence!

Fun... HOT.... day

Mom had a great idea to go out and play early this morning.  I am "game" to go play anytime, but was excited that we went out first thing this morning.   Here I am, going out to play in my yard

This is me sitting in front of my great big play ground.

My Fan - AHHHH!

Mom and I have been outside playing today and it is HOT!!   I am so glad that I have my own fan to crash in front of, after eating ice cubes of course.

But of course, Mom has to take a picture and interrupt my cooool relaxation.  Hey Mom, is that REALLY necessary???

Just hanging out with Mom

and being the cute Edge :)

Playing Alligator

Why listen to me...

I don't know how I could be more clear, the critter is HERE!

It is under the deck - I promise and I am even showing you exactly where.   I know how to hunt, trust me, follow my nose.

All week I have been telling Mom and Gary that the critter is under the deck.  They have looked a few times and then dismiss it.  Finally this morning, when they could smell it too, they decided to look right where I told them.  There it was.

I even got down to help Gary, don't want to lose their attention now.

But then when they saw it too, they made me go in the house.  I didn't even get to help after all my hard work.

New Toy!

My new toy!!!

picnic.....kinda

It was so nice outside today, Mom wanted to eat on the deck.  Since the deck furniture is still out back, we had to improvise.  Mom was laughing at me as I got all excited, smiled and wagged my tail when I realized what she was going to do.  That tray was at my height!  :)

Really Mom? Are you sure about that?

New place to play...

more posies for posing!

Buried in toys....

Mom likes to play funny games with me!

Fun day

We had a fun day today.  Mom had a "work from home" day so I got to hang out in the office with her all day.  And I got snacks!!  :)  I like work from home days as we eat all day long.  Then we went to play.  We worked on our new "ready, set go..." and Mom thought I did a great job.  We were able to practice going in the ring, play, cookies! and start all over.  I did a good job and had a lot of fun.

Mom said we get to go to class tomorrow too.  One last time!   I am excited!

Snuggle

All snuggled in after a FUN and busy weekend!

Recommendation by Edge

I highly recommend you carry your own treats out to train.  By doing this, you know they are high value, you know what you can earn and best of all, YOU can decide when you get rewarded. Which of course, is with every step :)

A G I L I T Y ! ! ! !

Today was a great day!!  Gary and Mom got out all my agility equipment.  I was SOOOO excited!!!  I was running and jumping and twirling and I was testing every obstacle as it came out of the shed.  I even did the tunnel as they were trying to carry it.  I was doing my contacts before it was put together and walking the planks while they were still on the ground.  I had so much fun.  After it was all done, I got to test it all out.  I did aframes and dogwalks and ran back and forth through the tunnel.   I hope we can play some more tomorrow.

I helped brush off all the contacts too.   We brushed all the "stuff" off before playing!

 

New Collar

Mom ordered a new collar for me from All Leashed Up!  We both really like it and it matches my new obedience leash.  I can't wait to show it off!!   You can also see me "modeling" on their Facebook page.
