It was a good training class for the dogs and for me too. I was able to walk them together throughout the huge training facility. Then Elizabeth brought in a cat, and the dogs continued to do fine. Finally she walked another dog through--a pal of theirs--and they kept walking with me. I told her that if she could only bring in a squirrel, then we'd really know if we were successful.
So tonight, after work, is the real test. If it's not raining I'll walk Quincy and Cookie to the college and we'll see many squirrels along the way. Here's hoping....

4/8 Wet and cold
It's not really cold but feels that way with all the rain. I just keep chanting...bring May flowers. That's what this deluge will do for us.
Have another appointment for dog training tonight. We're going to try to walk the dogs together, because that's been my goal all along. We'll see how it goes.
I did finish my taxes, and because of my move will get money back. Except I had to file in two states (Wisconsin and Mississippi) and the WI one is all messed up. I couldn't e-file it, so will have to re-do it this weekend.
Got another box done last night. At this rate I'll be done by the time I have to do taxes next year.

2/7 A long day
Just returned from a great, but grueling, training session with Quincy. She learned some really cool stuff, and I really hope I can keep it up. Plus I made arrangements to take Cookie for a one hour individual session to deal with her horrific pulling on the leash. I'm sure looking forward to getting her broken of that.
Today was busy, but tomorrow will be even more so. Lots to do.
BUT I did hear from one of the places I applied to in Quincy. They want to set up an interview. To say I'm psyched is definitely an understatement.
Wish me luck.

1/24 Dog class
Q and I just returned from her training class. Once again she growled at two dogs and I just don't understand it. But she picked up on the two skills really well--"Leave it" and walking. I'm hoping I can keep things up at home.
Everything went really well there (except for the growling). Other than that it was a great class. I'm looking forward to the next one already.
Because I knew Cookie would have to stay home alone while Quincy went with me, I took Q to doggy day care and brought Cookie to work with me today. She was well-behaved and a lot calmer than she is when she's with Quincy. It was fun.
