Took lessons in new places.

Rode a bus and won a contest.

Took lots of naps.

Went to watch 3 agility trials.

Got a new car.

Had an echo, xray and exam.  Found out her heart is not all it should be.

Opened many packages.

Played with Mom and went on many hikes.

Learned that the crate is safe, not scary.

Discovered that sometimes the friends you have and your home can be the best place to be.

Another Great Lesson!

Anyone else see Tibby's mini Alfalfa mohawk?

We had a great lesson today at Loretta's.  We worked on the teeter, RC plank/tunnel, channel weaves and then a sequence.

It was so much fun!

Tibby is smart.  I'm trying. 

I was so surprised that she was able to generalize that Loretta's teeter was just like the teeter we have at home.  The differences between Loretta's teeter and mine:  Mine is 12 inches off the ground - Her's is 25 inches?.  Her teeter plank is twice as long as mine.  Her's is made of wood, mine is made of light weight plastic.  Her's is outside, mine is inside a garage.

Tibby has never been on any teeter other than mine.  She has never been on one outside.  But she happily offered her end teeter behavior and ran up the whole really tall teeter!  She is smart.

I really liked to see that she remembered her RC plank work too.  We haven't done anything with that in a long time.  We were able to raise the plank 2" and have Tibby run through a tunnel.  She stayed on the plank every single time.  She is smart.

Weaves are a work in progress.  I have some good ideas on how to progress with them.  I can bring them in a whole lot closer together.  That's good to know.

The sequence was SO MUCH FUN.  I love running with Tibby.  Really addictive.

I can't believe how far we have come since our first lesson in May.  I think Tibby is doing great!

We Won A Contest!

Tibby and I had a fun day today.  Plus we won a contest! And we were interviewed for TV.

We went to a walk for animals and entered the Owner/Dog look a like contest. I never, ever thought we would win, even though I think I look like Tibby. We never win contests! Yes, I am proud to look like a dog - a cute dog like Tibby! It was pouring rain. So not a great day weather wise. Tibby was so good the entire time. There were 100's of dogs everywhere. She didn't lunge or pull or even bark. She sniffed a few rear ends, but that was about it. The funniest part was when I turned around and found her trying to sniff a Great Dane's butt. It was so funny! She was too short - I wish I had a picture of it. Too funny.  Tibby also rode on a bus - twice, but that adventure will be in a different post.

This is what we won.  Lots of stuff and $55 in gift cards!

Tibby thinks winning is yummy!
