Two Of These Feet Are Not Like The Other

Who likes the grass?

The one with GREEN feet!!

And a Tibby tongue pictures, 'cause they are cute :) 

Smile!

Fortune Cookie wisdom for the day : "If you want people to like you, like yourself first."

Another thing dogs don't have a problem doing.  They don't even think about liking themselves - they just do it!  And until given a reason, they like everyone else.

Except of course, if you are a man and then Tibby doesn't like you no matter what LOL!  

Tibetan Tuesday!

What a beautiful day today!  And I had to work until 5pm - boo.  But I was able to get outside twice during the day.  During lunch the pups were so lazy.  They just wanted to lay in the sun.  I took Dhali shopping this evening.  It went much, much better than last time.  I had meatballs as a treat and he couldn't take his eyes off of me LOL!  He walked around very nicely and I was able to reward him with something he wanted.  He decided that whenever we stopped moving that meant he needed to sit beside me.  And wait for his treat!  He's fun to take places.  When he is waiting in the car, he goes to sleep in his crate.  When I take Tibby and have her wait in the car,she barks the entire time and drools/pants - gets herself very worked up.  Awww Tibby......

Fish, Control and Turns

I started reading Control Unleashed Puppy this last week.  So much good information.  I haven't finished reading it, but I started working on mat work and the whiplash turn.  Dhali gets things really fast.  Tibby needs to think a lot more.  It's exactly the book that I needed for Tibby.  If I can figure out how to teach it to Tibby it would be wonderful.  I'm very curious to see if i can teach her to breath and blink on command.  :)  Sounds kind of hard, but useful.

P.S. Dhali ripped the cover off within the first 5 mins.  I was going to sit outside in a chair and he jumped up and grabbed the book.  I saved the rest of the book, but the cover was in 3 pieces.  It looks kind of rough now!

She has been a lot more eager to have her training session.  When it's Dhali's turn she goes into the bed room and gets up on the bed, but if I don't call her for her turn, she acts very put out and goes into the living room and looks at the training stuff.  I'm not sure why she doesn't want to watch Dhali when it's his turn.  They only get 3 mins. each, so it's not a huge amount of time to wait! 

On Thurs. I stopped giving her the medication the vet prescribed.  Tibby misses her cheese, but otherwise I didn't see any difference in her behavior.  The whole week she has been acting more playful and happy - without the tiny, tiny dose of pain meds she was still happy and playful.  I looked up the dosage for a dog Tibby's size and she was taking 1/2 of the lowest recommended dose. 

Dhali modeling the most popular toy.

This is THE toy of the moment.  Tibby even tugs with Dhali for this toy.  She also chased after it and jumped on me to get it.  It has a rattle AND a squeaker.  Whoa!

Dhali would like to show you his smile.  Soon (very soon) to be replaced with new chompers.  He has been chewing on EVERYTHING.  I give him frozen smelt to chew on.  He likes them a lot and they keep him busy for a few mins. too.  Tibby thinks they're gross.  I really want to get a picture when he has a little fishy tail hanging out of his mouth.  It is SO CUTE!

"Iz cute....now throwza toy."

Say Cheese!

"What are you doing?"

"I'm smiling!"

"Why?"

"If you smile they give you their FOOD! And the best yummy things come from the table.">

"So you have to show your teeth??? I thought that was rude???" >

"Not to humans. They like to see teeth. It means they're happy. And then they give you yummy FOOD!!!"

"Hmmm....humans are strange."

"I'm glad I have a big sister to tell me the human secrets."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah...just try smiling and we might both get treats."

Happy Hot Dogs

"I chased a Border Collie and I won..."

"I got chased and she won..."

"I could have run all day..."

"So embarrassed....my tongue was holding me back!  She has an unfair advantage!"

We'll have a re-match later.  I would place my bet on Tibby :)

Bad--- Hill

Bad--- Hill?  This is a nice steep hill.

"Ha ha!"

"Race you down!"

Sugar and Spice

I have been trying to catch Tibby when she is 'smiling'. 

I haven't quite caught it yet, but I'll keep trying. 

Also, I tried out some pink clips in Tibby's hair.  She's having a harder time seeing.  I use hair bands on Tues. for agility, but I don't want to leave them in for very long, because they would cause a big tangle.  The clips weren't in for very long.....apparently they are annoying to some fluff n' puff!

Tongue 11/7

This was such a hard photo to get!!!  It's very cold here, so Tibby doesn't stick out her tongue very often. 

 

Pudding

You know what tastes good on a hot day?

Some frozen pudding.

Tibby even smiles while she eats it!
