Together again

Last week I was in DC and I missed Anja and Rorie so much. When I came back Anja was hoarse from barking so she has this funny bark now. Today on her walk she met a beagle/pointer mix Toby and she played with him briefly-she didn't want him to get too carried away.

Yesterday Rorie and I watched the Gilmore girls together. Rorie is adjusting to college life and having a difficult time so her grandmother sent some sorrority girls to help her and they tried to come up with a nick name for Rorie. Meanwhile her mother's friend who is pregnant realized she doesn't like kids. So Rorie's mom tried to re-assure her by reminding her that she did well with Rorie and she said "well everyone loves Rorie"

After the Gilmore girls we all went to the park It was kind of a rainy dreary day so I wasn't going to swim Rorie She had other ideas. she saw the geese and off she went after them I was kind of nervous beacuse they had little ones. It was really cool though because the one goose separated from the other and the little ones and Rorie swam after that goose. She came back after I honked the car horn. Today they came out to watch her swim so I guess they aren't holding a grudge. Even the little ones were there. When she started swimming the geese would come out and form a circle around her like she was part of their family. They seem to enjoy watching her and to be amused by her. I nick named her the goose.

Anja has tentatively begun to swim and for some reason she is really happy this week. A couple of times she has come running towards me and just kicks her heels up in the air. Maybe she knows something I don't. She rolled this week so its off to the Launder Mutt for her...love that name

We went to a spot we haven't been in a while and Rorie just screamed cause she knew where we were and when we got to the bridge she lept into the air and spun in a circle. She jumped off the bridge and stood on her hind legs waiting for me to throw the stick. When we went for our walk she found snakes and I screamed...just can't do snakes. She came running back to me lept into the air licked my face and sat very very close to me to protect me from the snake in the grass...

Yesterday we went to the park. Anja met Angie a one year old rescue GSD. Angie really wanted to play. Anja did too but not that much. Anja swam again in the spot she usually swims in... On the way back we saw two butterflies.

Rorie swam of course. But there were 2 labs and a miniature Austrailian shep and they had balls. Rorie really liked the labs jolly ball so off she went...I was a little concerned she might go after him to get the ball...which she did but in a different way than I thought. She swam over acted all interested in him...very sweet really and the moment he took his eyes off the ball and focused on her...she snagged the ball and off she swam...She has an evil streak...I gave him the ball back and off to Country Max we went to buy a jolly ball

Took Anja and Rorie to the field at work yesterday I hiked Anja on the trial and she met Lizzie. Lizzie is a lab/poodle so she had curly hair. I think Anja loved Lizzies curls So she ran up to Lizzie and really wanted to play so Lizzie did a little bit which only made Anja wanted to play more. She liked Lizzie

Rorie and I played frisbee on the field and in the middle of our game Micky appeared. He is a white boxer. Dogs without tales concern Rorie...she wonders what happened? Micky wanted to play so Rorie played. Rorie plays hard...Micky yelped. I don't think he was expecting that. His owner put him on a lesh and took him home. Micky seemed relieved. Even though she is a girl she can play just as hard as the
boys

Today we went to the pond. The goose family is back I love watching them. It was mom and dad and the 3 little ones. They are growing up fast.

At the end of the day we went to our first handling class. Rorie wasn't too sure what it was all about or what the instructor was up too ...so she washed her face which of course won over the instructor. She said that Rorie had a good build for a working line and was not over angulated--she isn't a shepherd person though so she is sending us to a GSD breeder to evaluate her...Poor Ror she so doesn't know what this class is all about~She was in class again with some big dogs though 3 English mastiffs a springer and a King Charles Cavelier spaniel

Holland...where in the heck are the pics? Come on...
you know certain threads are worthless without pics!!

Did the geese threaten you?
Your class sounded great...I miss structured training right now.

Sounds like you two have a nice rich life together. That's great!!

Next week will be our last week of rally class and I think I will work Anja because I think she misses working. We found an awesome place to walk and swim. Rorie jumps off the dock and Anja swims by the beach. Even Anja didn't want to leave and that is a good sign. Rorie was very bad today she jumped off the dock and begged for me to throw the ball...but I didn't so she had to come back in. Secretly it makes me smile though...Meanwhile I have become addicted to the Gilmore girls on the show Rorie has met a boy and because she is a working girl his family didn't think she was good enough and his father said she didn't have what it takes to be a good journalist. So she stole a yacht and droppred out of Yale...And her mother is very upset because she believes in Rorie. My Rorie has never felt not good enough...I hope Rorie figures out that she should never let someone make her feel not good enough

The girls and I had such a good day today. First we went swimming at the lake. Then we went to Fairport with a friend and walked along the Erie Canal. It was really beautiful and as people passed they asked what breed they were and then commented about how beautiful they are and that you don't usually see GSDs in that color. Both Anja and Rorie swam Anja is getting rather good. As we were coming back a woman said "Oh look she recycles" Ror was carrying my pepsi bottle (she really does need a job) The woman said she was going to buy her dog a back pack. I think Rorie would like that too...

~Monkey see Monkey do~

Lola the Affenpinscher was in our Tuesday handling class According to google Affe means monkey in German and the breed is known for its monkey expression. Lola was super cute and really seems to know what she is doing. So as her owner placed her on the table to stack Rorie watched very carefully. Then she tried to do just what Lola did. She stacked and allowed the instructor to touch her without wiggling...even her tale...she is very conscious of her tale. She was so good with Lola and believes even a little guy can teach you a thing or two.
