Another Manic Wednesday at 4 Paws

Today was pretty cool! We started out our morning with Jennifer at the training center and Blue was amazing! I took him outside and played ball for about 30 minutes before class started and he got out all his extra energy and I had a whole new dog in class, he was sooo obedient! Then we went tracking! Jeremy let us do almost everything! He was there to guide us if we needed it but he stood back and watched! Lisa Beth aka Tink hid with Erik so we could mix up scents and Blue was dead on! I seconded guessed him and almost didn't follow him down the right path but I will guarantee that will not happen again this dog is amazing!

Guys ya'll getting ready for training I am not kidding when I tell you to get your beauty sleep and be prepared for a whirl wind of a ride! It is a ton and I mean a ton of information! I had other mom's say it is overwhelming but I had no idea how overwhelming! The dogs are awesome and they know all the stuff they need to know, you just have to learn it while learning how to handle a dog and taking care of your kid at the same time! I have dogs and have trained them so I thought this wouldn't be easy! Get your exercise also! Jeremy and Jennifer are in amazing shape from handling 100+ pound dogs all the time and they and the dogs will run circles around ya!

I learned a little about how to track from Blue today! I wore a UGA jacket while tracking and my car keys fell out of the pocket! We are in a huge nature area and my keys are gone! I start walking the path that Blue and I tracked Erik down and about the spot where Tink and Erik hid there were my keys! I think Blue was proud of me!

Ok ya'll my dog Blue is HYPER! He loves his ball! I start saying "Uhh, Uhh" every time he runs by me with a ball because I know what it feels like to be knocked over and stepped on when Blue has ball on the brain! I am starting to love on my Blue! Last night I gave Blue treats by myself! Mom usually has to hold my hand open while Blue takes his treats and I just laugh because it tickles! Last night mom gave me a treat and I held my hand open for Blue to take his treat! I will give Blue suggies when he isn't looking because if he notices me leaning towards him he starts licking me all over!

Oh Aunt Laura! I sat with my mom today while Jeremy was talking about boring stuff like how to brush Blue's teeth and I started screaming "Bye, Bye" to anyone who walked past me! I knew you would be proud of me!

Mom is scared because tomorrow is the last day of training and then Friday she and Blue have to take a test! She isn't scared of the test so much as having to leave 4 Paws and not having Jennifer and Jeremy to help her. I keep giving her suggies and letting her know that it will all be great and that Blue and I will behave for her, we promise :)! Ok well it's dinner time and I am ready to eat! Talk to ya'll tomorrow!
