Mardi Gras Madness 2009

This is where we will be heading next weekend, come on out if you can!

http://www.westondogclub.org/Flyball%20Tournament.html

Search youtube for FLYBALL if you've never seen it. It's something we would like to learn to do with Dexter (since he LOVES balls) if we can find a team in the area.

Most exciting we will be meeting up with some more Bostons there from Woofboard (a Boston Terrier Group) including Bergamot and Emry from www.littlebeasts.com (and appearing on Dogs 101 on Animal Planet)!

Tug A Jug

Ooooohhh what's this? A new toy!

I saw this first! It's mine!

No way Jose, it's mine!

I smell cookies in there!

Hey you cookies, come outta there!

Play bow to the awesomeness of this toy! (Dex in the background trying to check it out from between his brother's legs...)

Heyyyyyy, let me try that!

If the cookies won't come out, I'm going in!

chew chew chew

gnaw gnaw gnaw

What about this rope? Does that have something to do with the cookies?

I'm getting angry, you cookies come outta there!

And so we find Rocco now, having decided the best way to get the cookies is to eat through the jar he is still (quietly!) working on it!

Obedience School- Class Two

Mom and Dad took Rocco to obedience class tonight, it went well, made a lot of progress, but we have to keep working on things during the week.

Tonight's assignments: sit, loose leash walk, getting dog's attention, heel and start of stay

Fabiana Visit

Finally! Our schedules worked together and we were all able to get together for lunch at Stoneforge and a nice visit. It was the first time Rick and Fabiana have been to the house and met the boys :)

Weekends are for Relaxing
