Today was pretty chilly at first. We were moving at a pretty good pace, so that kept us warm. I was getting their pictures and then they both started barking. There was a guy walking a dog across the street. They are AWESOME guard dogs! I had my back to the street, so they were sounding the alarm! :) We went straight down the street and back this time instead of going around any blocks. They had all sorts of new things to smell and look at. Overall - good day.

Today was chilly and windy, BUT we didn't get wet! Woohoo! The boys did great and we had a nice long walk. None of my pictures came out without a little blurriness. We were on the move the whole time..

Today was chilly and windy.. I was trying to get a good picture of them and they huddled together. The boys got excited when they saw another dog on a walk and started walking out front together. I took a picture that shows them booking along and I shifted the camera while walking and came up with this cool image (I'll send it to you). I made a nice nest out of all their blankets when we got back home. S was pretty hungry and T was thirsty..

As you can see from this picture, L was feeling good on our windy walk! She pranced along and we went after a few swirling piles of leaves. It was a great walk and then we practiced some tricks.. Next time, we'll work on STAY.

We got soaked today! The boys did great, but they were not too happy about the rain. Once we got going, they did great. I had a towel waiting for them downstairs, so I could dry them off right away. They did great! I dried them off some more when I got their leashes off.. They were sooo excited to be back inside! It was great overall :) .

The boys did great today, melting hearts as usual! They seem to be getting used to the time of the walk because they both do their business right away and then let me take their picture..

The boys did great again today!! We took a different way again and they were able to adapt well.. No problems during the walk and we had a nice run down the hall. :)

Another great day! L did great and she's able to come for a longer walk and stay more focused. She is growing up so fast!! I didn't need to use hotdogs at all to get her attention! Here she is rooting around in some fallen leaves - I think she was checking out squirrel tracks..
We practiced tricks and had some playtime after the walk.

The boys did great today! They lined up perfectly for their picture today - they both even picked up their right front feet! They were excited to go on their walk. T met me at the gate and S ran out ahead of me once I got his harness on. S is definitely less nervous on our walks and steps out. T is himself. They both enjoy all the attention!

It was a warm day today and L and I circled the whole block again! We didn't have any hotdogs, but L did great anyway! We tried the new thing by not picking her up on the way out and she was super excited and followed me outside with no accidents!! I let her in after the walk and she ran and flopped onto her pillow.. She's got the routine down. :)

The boys did great today. We went a different way today and lots of people stopped to say hi. Someone who passed us looked similar to you and it bugged S for the first half of the walk. In the picture, you can see S looking alert and determined at the person who looked similar to you. He calmed down when we turned a corner and went down a different street. We ran into a family walking and they raved about how well mannered the boys were!

T and S did great today. we went a different way and they had lots of new things to explore and sniff. S was hanging out with me more than usual and T was hamming it up for the people watching us walk down the street - they both prance :) . They were both excellent today! I've been tying new bags onto the leashes before I go out with them, so you know who pooped during the walk by whose leash is missing a bag.

There was a strange phenomenon today. Suddenly, there were squirrels everywhere. They were dead all over the road and they were running around everywhere in the neighborhoods. I hadn't seen so many squirrels around like this. L was excited to see all the wildlife, so we were able to get in a longer walk in a shorter period of time. We whipped around the block and still had time to play! She did really great and was super focused. She is growing up soo fast!

T & S did great today! S was really moving and lead the way through most of the walk. T pepped up shortly after we got outside. We went around the block and they were super excited to get to the elevator. We had our hall romp and the key didn't work again. They were so good and let me put their leashes back on to go back down to get the key reloaded. We ran together down the hall and we had some playtime before their treat. Then lots of attention for them while they sat nicely after the treat.

The boys were super excited for their walk today and they did great!! S pooped and they both left lots of marks in the grass during our walk. S and T had a great romp in the hall and I fixed S's bed and he snuggled right into it. What a great day!

15 Sept 09

T and S did awesome! It was crowded everywhere we went and I had to ask some people to back away from us - one guy wanted to pick up T!! We had 2 romps in the hall because the first time we went my key didn't work. It all got fixed and I even had someone come up to me and ask about my services. They were great spokesmen today!! The t-shirt might have helped a little, too!

Today was great! L was watching a huge truck on the road go by in this picture.. She is super serious and was sitting so straight. She was great coming out of the kennel - no accidents! She was super cuddly and we played and practiced some tricks after our walk.

14 Sept 09

Welcome S and T!! We had a great time! We got a lot of looks and smiles from everyone in the area. They kept wanting to turn back and go home, but we soldiered on. They did great even though a huge semi and a train came right by us at the same time!!

We had a great time today! The mailman said hi again and L freaks when she sees the truck and bolts in that direction! She was prancing and had a great time..

Breezy day today. L and I chased after some leaves and had a productive walk.

We had a great time today. L wanted to run a lot, so we went up a few side streets instead of sticking to the main road. She explored the high grass and the various foliage. She did some tricks and we played in the front yard. Love her new haircut!!

T Shirts!!

These shirts are so bright that my white tablecloth looks blue!! Also, the lettering is reflective. No matter what time of day, the wearer of this shirt will be seen!

L was calmer today. We went on a leisurely walk and practiced some tricks. The mailman stopped and said hi again. She loves that guy!

L was super hyper today. I picked her up to turn off the alarm and get everything together. She squirmed out of my arms and stood on my shoulders!! I gave her a big hug and we ran outside for a bit. She was bursting with so much energy that we zipped around the block in about 25 min. We played tons more and she finally was chilling on her big pillow by the time it was time for me to go..
