Sneak Peak

Mom has decided not to use this picture for our cards, so she said I can share a "sneak peak."

What would the bunny do?

Straight from Denise's seminar, what would the bunny do?

Being a model is hard work

Tonight was Christmas card picture night, wow, how can posing be such hard work?  Mom and Gary both worked to get good pictures for our cards.  They had to have them just perfect!  Gary would pose me and Mom would laugh and Gary would tell her to quit laughing at me or I might leave.  Luckily we were in front of the glass door and I kept checking out the handsome dog in the window.  I earned a lot of good cookies for just sitting still.  But we finally had to quit as I could not stay awake.

Good thing they are happy with the pictures.  I can't share or it will give away the surprise of our cards. 

Fun at the school

We got all bundled up today and went to the school to run.  We have not been there for a long time so it was fun to run around and smell all the new smells.  Mom was laughing at me as I was zooming around and smiling because it was soo much fun.  Mom tried to go back to the van and I convinced her to let me hunt a little longer.

My new ride

Mom and I got a "new ride" to take us to all our fun events.  I wasn't quite sure at first, but now I really like it!  We broke it in by taking it to PA for our weekend trip.

But I need it now...

Mom got a new bed for me for Christmas.  Actually it is a furry blanket like she has.  I wanted my own blanket for my kennel as it is soft and warm.  As soon as she brought it in the door I grabbed it and took off with it to my kennel.  She said she must have picked a good one!

Then I got in my kennel and looked really cute to convince her to let me have it now!  I will remember on Christmas, I promise :)

Turkey Day!

Not only is it turkey day, but it is not a work day and we have been outside playing!!  I got to run with Mom and Gary and then play bumper.   It is so nice outside Mom and I could stay outside all day!

And then I got turkey and eggs for dinner! YUM!  What a great day.  

GRRREAT DAY

What a great day Mom and I have had today.  It started with eggs for breakfast, YUM!  Then we went outside to play and Mom set up our training yard for later today.  I got to run and smell all the great smells in my yard.  

When Mom was done we did a few fun things and Mom did not have cookies or toys so I played with her headband instead.  That was fun!  

Next on our agenda was baking cookies!!  I always enjoy baking cookies as I get the batter AND get to be the taste tester.  We made two big batches and I also helped bag them up.

And then we went out to play in our training yard.  We did some agility, just weaves and jumps as Gary already put away all our big stuff :(   Then we did obedience!  I really like doing my go outs and jumping and signals and REALLY like the dumbbell and gloves.  We practiced some new things we learned at the seminar too.  

I wish every day could be like this!

Obedience and SWIMMING

Mom and I met Chase and Pauline for obedience today.  We rented the building to play and help each other on some new focus exercises.  We had so much fun playing and I got to jump big jumps and even did the dogwalk once :)   I did great on my go outs and Mom was so proud of me.  

When we were getting ready to leave, Pauline asked if I liked to swim.  Mom told her no.  She was going to throw bumpers for Chase so said we should just throw bumpers.  Well, when we went to the field/pond, I was very intrigued with the pond.  There were so many great smells.  I ran all around the pond, putting my feet in and putting my head in the water to smell what was in there.  Chase retrieved one bumper from the water and I knew I had to try too.  I chased him with his bumper and then Mom threw mine in.  I was determined to get it.  I tried barking at it, but that really didn't help.  I kept going in and coming out and going in and coming out, but finally swam and picked it up.  Mom was so happy and told me how good I was.  Well, I wanted to try again. and again and again.  It was a blast.  When it was time to leave, we went to the van to get dried off.  I tried to run back to the pond, but Mom got me :)   I cannot wait to do that again, how much fun!! I am glad Chase showed me how much fun it could be.
 

TICKS!!

While Mom and I were on our great trip, I got a tick on my belly.  Mom was really worried as it had a big red ring around it.  She instantly thought I had lyme disease and would not leave it alone.  Finally I had to tell her I was done!  and to leave it alone.  She could not wait to get home to get some CS on it and clean it again.

Mom sent the tick off for testing, just to be sure.  She also has me on supplements to boost my immune system to help fight any disease.  She has been zebbing me and giving me reiki and pulling out all the bad stuff.   I can't wait for the results so she can leave it alone.

Our private lesson

Mom and I had our private lesson this morning and it was really good.  Denise was very complementary of how much we have progressed.  She was very impressed with my moving stand and my go out sit.  She told Mom I was getting bold :)    She gave Mom a lot of great ideas on how to help me do things we have been struggling with.  We worked with her for 30 minutes and learned so much and had LOTS of fun.  I really did not want to leave as we were having a blast.

It was time to pack up and head home.  What a great weekend it was, I really did not want to leave.  I like our morning walks and all the fun games every day.  I sure hope we can do this again soon!

Mom let me take one last walk before loading up and heading to Ohio.

Great hotel walking

We found a great field by our hotel.  We were able to take a long walk this morning before going to the seminar.  I even got to run off leash and I sure did run!   I was really ready to stretch my legs and play outside.  There was no one there since it was Sunday, so we did not have to worry about cars or people at the building.  A great way to start our day.

   

Great day with Denise

What a fun day.  The training building is up on a hill, but there are all different levels so Mom and I got to walk and hunt and walk trails before our seminar even started.  I was so excited when I heard Denise's voice, I even barked in my cage.  I was ready!!  Unfortunately, Mom told me that I was not allowed to talk or I would have to leave.  That just does not seem very fair.  Denise talked about playing and what would the bunny do.  I know what bunnies do and I catch them!

We had a great day and I was ready for bed when we got to the hotel room!

Ready for our fun weekend

We have arrived at our hotel and carried everything inside.  There were no "wheels" this time so Mom had to make about 15 trips to get everything in the room.  Luckily she took me in the room and I stretched out while she carried everything.  And another nice hotel with a great chair!  Looking forward to tomorrow!

Going to see Denise!

Mom and I are getting packed for our weekend trip to see Denise Fenzi again.  We are both very excited, not only are we going to the seminar, but we have a working spot AND a private lesson.  I can only imagine what ideas Mom may have for our lessons.  My friend Chase is going too!!

Mom is a spy

Mom thinks she is spying on me, but I know she is watching.  Especially when she moves the camera, and she knows I catch her as I look her in the eye through the camera.  Now she takes pictures of me too!  She likes this picture because my ear is hanging over the bed.  My mom sure is silly!!!

 

Ostrich necks

YUM, YUM, YUM!!!!  Mom found ostrich necks for me since I cannot have chicken anymore.  When she pulled out my bed and got a towel, I was SOOO excited as I knew what that meant.  It was really good and so much fun to chew.  I love to chew bones and this one tasted really good.  I sure hope she bought a lot of them!
