Interesting Night
Last night Tibby and Catty made me the center of their furry sandwich. I had Catty underneath my right arm and Tibby underneath my left arm. They were both also underneath the covers (4 duvets - it's cold here!).
Tibby also had to go sheet surfing through the whole bed at least twice last night. This is a new thing since she got her hair cut on Thurs. She dives nose first underneath the covers and then scoots all around the bed. Of course, the whole thing isn't complete if she doesn't get me with her cold nose in the back of the leg at least a 100 times. Catty was not impressed by all this commotion and threatened to leave, but she's lazy so she didn't. At one point Tibby fell asleep with her head down by my toes and her fluffy tail sticking out by my head! I like the furry sandwich much better - her head doesn't randomly swap me in the face -most of the time ;)
In other news: We entered another contest. If you want to cast a vote just like our picture on facebook LINK HERE
The contest ends at 4pm Pacific Time TODAY.
I know that Zoe and her Mom would win if they entered this pic, but they didn't want to.
But it's so CUTE!!!
Catty Keeps It Clean
These photos have been censored by Catty. She used her tail. She didn't want Tibby showing her....um, freewheeling ways to the world.
Catty says, "Shame on you! Cover up or grow some fur! Immodest hussy!"
Tibby says, "shhhh Iz sleeping old lady."

Take My Arm & PeekaBoo Trick
These are Tibby's 2 new tricks. In the take my arm trick she is supposed to be helping me across the street. LOL! :) Tibby thinks PeekaBoo is fun! It's one of her new favorite tricks. She tries to do it ALL the time. Cute! I tried to do Frisk 'em, but Tibby wasn't in the mood. Possibly because she spent the day at the groomer's and was sick of being touched.
Brought Home A New Dog Today
Some of you might be mad at me, but things just weren't working out for me with Tibby.
Sometimes that happens with teenagers. They are cute as puppies and then they change.
You know what they say, if you love someone let them go and if it's meant to be they will come back to you.
So, I brought this new dog home.
This dog is awesome!
It's lighter, softer and lets me pet it!
The only thing it needs is a coat.
Just kidding!
Tibby's matts were inoperable, so, sadly (cried a few tears) Tibby had to be aggressively groomed.
I'm still getting used to it, but I think I like it.
It's nice to just pet Tibby, instead of constantly trying to comb through Tibby's hair (which she hated) with my fingers whenever I touched her.
I dunno I think I would love her if she were green and hairless!
She's still my baby, just with less hair.
Snowshoeing Last Friday
Last Friday I went snowshoeing with Tibby, Zoe and Zoe's Mom.
It was a beautiful day and about 30 F.
"We're ready!"
"Let's GO!"
About 1/4 of the way into our hike Zoe got too cold, so she had to ride the rest of the way.
I couldn't decide which picture of Zoe was cuter!
Peeking over the shoulder.
Riding in style!
Tibby and me.
The 2 girls.

Weekend Wrap Up
Final post about the week end.
These first 2 pics are of Tibby on the way to Woof Dah.
It takes about 2 1/2 hours to get there.
Notice her nicely groomed hair (well, at least combed out). Combing use to be easy, but now that she is blowing her puppy coat? Well, I will just say that I comb Tibby out every night and it involves a comb, ear plugs, a long sleeved shirt and gloves. Use your imagination.
Tibby slept on the drive to Woof Dah
AND........................
she really slept on the way home.
Tibby with her head on my lap.
O matty dog. :(
Oh well, she had fun rough housing with her new friends.
I've worked on these matts for the last 2 days and they are getting better.
Sleepy.
When we finally got home after 3+ hours (the roads were horrible - drifting and icy) Tibby couldn't decide what to do first: eat, chase Catty, go outside, play with her toys, drink or sleep some more.
3rd Foundations Agility Class
Yesterday was our 3rd class. We've had 3 classes canceled due to bad weather.
It was another fun class!
Of course, there had to be a few bad moments to offset all the good.
Remember that Tibby spent the weekend playing at Woof Dah with her new friends. This was 24 hour a day wild and crazy play. She was *slightly* tired for about 2 hours. Maybe that gives you an idea about her stamina and energy level? Bouncing off the walls!
We were a little early for class so we stopped at Petsmart. This was Tibby's first time in a store. She was (of course) not afraid of anything - automatic doors, lots of people, slippery floors. She was calm for about three minutes, but not calm enough to take treats. When she saw a Great Dane and then a Pomeranian her brain went crazy, "Dogs, dogs, dogs!" She has a high pitched whiny half bark that she likes to use when she wants something. Oh, and she was pulling on the leash like a linebacker. Fun.
These were pictures before she saw the other dogs.
I bought her a few bully sticks and some duck jerky and then we left.
On to class. We worked with our target and with the jump uprights. The dogs went through the tunnel a couple times. Tibby loves the tunnel!! In the video she acts like she doesn't like it, but later on when we walked by it she decided to go through it on her own.
Then we worked on rear awareness with 2 ladders. We got to show off our tricks. Tibby did her "Assume the Position" or "Frisk'em" trick - got the idea HERE. Tibby did it perfectly! I was so surprised/happy. Unfortunately my Mom didn't tape it, so I don't have any proof, but trust me Tibby did a good job. We practiced having the dog turn away from us. We worked with the wobble board. Tibby walked right on to it and moved around. I was surprised! I can tell that she doesn't really like it, but she will do it. We also worked on loose leash walking. Yeah......I think I might try having Tibby target a clip on my pant leg, because I've tried a lot of other methods including the 180 degree turn when the dog starts to pull (that we did in class) and nothing has worked so far. Tibby is happy to walk back and forth all day in the same spot, as long as she is moving. The last thing we did was play a game. We played wildly with our dog and then (when the instructor told us to) stopped and had our dog sit or lie down. It was kind of like musical chairs. Tibby and I like that game!
Now the 2 bad things. Tibby pooped in class and my Mom tapped the whole thing. LOL I'm not sure why she pooped, because she went right before class too.
The 2nd thing was one of the dogs tried to attack Tibby. It was really scary. It went for Tibby's neck. I put my leg between it and Tibby and yanked Tibby out of the way and behind me until its' owner could catch it. When we come upon a stray dog on our walks I do the same thing - put Tibby behind me. Not sure if that was a good idea? Although, I guess my leg is a lot bigger than Tibby's neck to take a bite from a dog.
We still had fun.
The video is a whole bunch of little clips put together. My Mom can't always tell when the camera is on and so there were a bunch of less than 10 second clips. The pooping fiasco is in about the middle of the video.
