Dedication Takes a LifeTime

Whoo! We just got back from our second Show Handling Class and Knight is doing really, really well!

I think everybody is pretty impressed with him, I know I sure am haha. I'm really looking forward to his first match which is only two weeks away now :D

Short update, I know, I'm tired, ready to go curl up with my Paps and read.

The Moments Where My Good Times Start To Fade

You make me smile the the sun

Fall out of bed, Sing like bird

Dizzy in my head

Spin like a record, crazy on a Sunday night

You make me dance like a fool

Forget how to breathe

Shine like gold, Buzz like a bee

Just the Though of you can Drive me wild

Ooh You Make Me Smile

Today was a Knight day :) We went over to Charlies house and worked on playing in the tunnel along with some table work and a tiny bit of gaiting. Both of us are dead tired haha. Fingers crossed that this snow storm passes over us so we can go to Show Handling on Wednesday.

-

I also talked to Dad about getting Knight in classes. Starting March 4th we'll be doing a weekly "petite pooch" class since seeing him compared to Charlie... Knight is just very dainty in build. These classes are filled with lots of new owners and... well yeah, I'd just feel much better about it.

-

Then hopefully we can sneak into a "Beyond Basics" class before I head out for OWLES so we can start with "Dog Sports Fundementals" right when I get home :D That will focus on more self control along with introduction to agility, flyball, rally-o, ect.

I See the best of me inside your eyes

Don't Know Where the Future is Headed

Don't Know where the Future's Headed

Nothing's gonna bring me down

Okay, so still waiting for Knight's show lead to come. But we've found a match that is actually close to us! So April 10th, I'll be out in Hatfield Trialing Lilly, then on the 11th Lilly, Knight, and Charlie will all be going to a little conformation match :)

-

I think I'm going to enter Knight in both breed and JS. I mean, one is much later in the day, and it would be good practice for him right? I really need to start working on... everything with him haha. Like not jumping all over people and standing still xD Fingers crossed our lead comes on Monday and I'll be getting to work.

Serious Buisness

Working on The Stacks xD Just clicking for any time of standing still. We have about 15 inches out there so I'm thinking some sledding with the paps today?

-

So, I took Knight out for his first adventure in the snow :) Just out on the side walk which had already been shoveled and a bit of the driveway where he chased Lil around lol. I think the goofy boy really enjoyed himself!

-

As I'm shaping up Lilly's Obedience I'm going to work on making Knight's pretty formal. So This week I'm going to introduce him to that wonderful heel posistion along with a nice front. I'll also start working on his left side walking this week too, and maybe some not so formal retrieving?

Why So Serious?

That's got to be Knight's life motto. Or least it is from what he showed me so far. Not in a creepy way, but in a goofy sense. Whenever he thinks I'm taking life a bit too seriously, He'll romp over, nip me on the nose, and do that goofy pap face with the ears folded back tongue flicking out at the air. As if to snap me out of my Haze and demand that I take things a little less seriously :)Haha, his little dark face has the power to brighten my day. Were Lil is my anchor, Knight is my wings. He just brings my spirits flying back up... and now I'm rambling lol.



Knight has a pretty good Sit, Down, and a nice spin right now. I really need to get on that recall and some stacking next :) Speaking of which, Charlie's show lead came today which means Knight's should be coming hopefully tomorrow! I'm really pumped for that, it's going to be so pretty :D



We've been playing some crate games along with tearing through that mini tunnel. Mannn, does this boy love to TUGGGG! Wowza, I love how much he loves to play. Though he does tend to make everything a toy, and I mean EVERYTHING. Leaves, grass, socks, pens, pencils, books. Anything that is on the floor is work attempting to play with lol.



I still need to set up a vet visit for him, He's been here for almost 3 weeks now and has yet to meet our vet. He'll probably skip out on the Dream Park, and Dillsburg Trial, but he may come with us to Hatfield. He'll be coming to Lums Pond for sure though. And I'm hoping to jump into Junior showmanship with him at the Ludwig's Corner show in June before I leave for OWLES.



Not too much went on today, very chill day. Looks like another snow storm though for tomorrow x_____x
