Three Smooth Collies, Two Border Collies,
One Danish-Swedish Farmdog
Well, while I’m gone on my cruise I didn’t want to leave this blog idle… so here is a cute picture of Levi’s but at the park when we went this summer. He loves the park. He is so good there now. He used to be a terror! When he was young we’d let him [...]
I don’t usually like dog parks… mainly because my dogs don’t do too good at them. But I have to say, some of my dogs don’t do good at them.. but actually, only one doesn’t do good at them anymore. Levi used to be horrible, barking at people, running amok, when he was young. He’s [...]
Lucy is our beautiful smooth collie girl. She does seem to be slowing down… with her cancer diagnosis and all. But she got to chew on a Kong a lot today, and carry it around and guard it, and guarding is one of her favorite things. Though she doesn’t like it quite as much as [...]
Well we did some ASCA agility yesterday. I just entered the one day. I’m glad I did. Chase was so tired last night when we got home that he was showing his teeth to everyone, even Lucy and Levi and he doesn’t do that often at all. Both Levi and Chase did great. Levi got [...]
352 Well, we didn’t see any collies other than the three who I brought. But they sure had fun! I took Tony, Tatum, Levi and Chase to the dog park. They ran and ran and played and played and had a great amazing time. Tatum was shy the last time I took her, but this [...]
Two of the most critical things for Chase to learn at the moment.. before he goes into Novice to get his CD in Obedience, is the Stand for Exam and Heeling. The Stand for exam is so hard for him. Hard, because he loves people! Which actually says a lot for him. When he was [...]
I had a horrible experience today. Obedience lessons with Chase were awesome this morning and my trainer came up with some great things we are going to do with his heeling, his stand for exam (he gets too wiggly he loves people so much), an his go outs. I also got my nails done, sparkled [...]
Tatum is dead tired today, but in a good way, and she hasn’t launched herself at anyone yet! She is sleeping next to me on the couch pushing at me with her feet. She came with this morning to the park, and I brought Levi too because he doesn’t seem to get out very much [...]
I’ve started jogging again, and taking Chase and Levi with. Chase loves jogging. We don’t go even close to far enough for him. I might take them to the park today… Sugarhouse Park, to see how that goes. We need a change of scenery and it’s only about 5 minutes from our house. Well, I [...]
Okay, I’m slowly admitting to myself that we are going to keep Tatum the Tater Tot Terror. I took her, Wednesday evening, to an informal training some of the girls have in a local park. I want her to get used to different situations. She will, in time. It will take time. I want her [...]
