Dog School - You guessed it.

Howdy Everybuddy, today we graduated again.  I know we've said it before, but Mum wants to shout it all across the world.  She is very proud of us and we have passed from Grade 3 to Grade 4.

Now Grade 4 is going to be tougher for sure.  The Instructor said we must polish up our positioning along with Mum and Dad and their signals and stuffs.  We'll leave all that business to them.  We just want the treats that we get especially the cheese and fritz.  Mmmmm totally yummers.

 

Our dog school goes from Grade 1 through to Grade 6 so we are now half way there.  It has been heaps fun and we love to meet the other dogs and people even though sometimes Stellie gets a little nervous.  Once she has a few pats, a few sniffs and a few treats we are ready to learn.  Mum wants to let everyone know, we are not perfect by a long shot and I agree.  Butt, we are all having fun, there is no pressure and our instructors are caring and helpful. Mum and Dad always have a laugh and that makes us relax too.

Stellie received the Most Improved.

We think Dad helped a lot with that, for sure.

I received my very first award.  I was the Happiest Worker.  I have to admit I do love all the attention I get.

 

 

My Instructor knows me well now and when I start to get tired at the end of the lesson this is what I do (except I don't have my tug toy of course hehe).  

 

I can't help it.  When Mum tells me to drop I do but then I roll over, side to side, waving my legs in the air.  My Instructor laughs and tells me, that's ok, lesson is nearly over and I can have a rest if I want.  See, like I said, no pressure.  


Well that's it for now friends.  We hope your weekend has been as fine as ours has.  Our brother James won his football game, our weather was pretty good for this time of the year, The Adelaide Crows won their football game (you beauty), we graduated and best of all, Sunday night for tea we had takeaway.  Pizza.  Mmmmmm.  See ya all soon. 

No worries, and slobber Rory, and love, Stella
 
P.S.  Yesterday we went to visit our Vet for a weigh in.  Rory weighed 69 kgs (152 lbs, nearly 10 months old) and and I was 12 kg (26 lbs, nearly 12 months old).   x x


  

 

We Graduated Today!!!

 YOWZA!

YOWZA!

YOWZA!

Hello Everybuddy, today we went to dog school and, yes, believe it or not, we GRADUATED from Grade One.  

Yes I know, we have a long way to go but we were very excited.

Here we are waiting to get our certificate.

 

This big fella is 18 months old.  I felt a bit puny beside him.

 

 

Anyhoo we made mum and dad happy and that's good  cause they gave out the treats.  

Now I'm saving the best bit for last.

Guess what my big sister got??

Get ready!

 Ta Da!  She was the "Happiest Worker"

 

 Well done sissy.

Grade Two, here we come.

No worries, and slobber, Rory and Stella

P.S. from Mum, thanks everyone for the great advice you gave re Rory and his sitting.  He has always been happy to sit at home but at obedience I got the impression he thought, WTF? I have to sit and then you tell me to heel straight afterwards?    Anyway we practiced all week and he did really well with only a few times he just decided to stand and that was when he was hot and bothered.  

We dropped in at the Vets on the way home to weigh the dogs.  Big surprise with Rory.  At 6 1/2 months he's 57 kgs (125 lbs) and Stella is nearly nine months old and 12.6 kgs (26 lbs).  Looks like all that food is definitely filling them up.  Have a great weekend everyone.  Love Carol

P.P.S.  Don't you worry Miss Abby, 

I still have my eye on you sweetie pie.
