October Fun!!

Lana, Ginger, and I spent this gorgeous 80 degree, sunny October Sunday running around the dog park. As soon as I mentioned the words this morning, the girls were psyched to go! We have been awful parents and have not given them enough running time- and these doggies sure do have energy!! The park was packed full of all kinds of dogs. I would estimate there were probably 20 dogs at one point and Lani and Ging had a blast!! Ginger LOVES running and can outrun almost every dog at the park even though she is so small. It was hysterical because she would try to cut them off and they would run into her and she would tumble over- and get right back up and sprint forward again. Lana enjoys running as well- but prefers the attention of every person that will possible pet, talk to, or love her. We stayed for over an hour, had a bath outside, and spent the rest of the day on the couch watching the Redskins win!

Lana and Ginger are also both well getting settled into their fall classes. Lana is in her 4th agility class. She is doing so well! She is finally maturing- so she is less ADD and more focused on me, the routines, and not running around. Now if we could only work on her mommy's ADD and we would be quite the pair!!! Ginger is taking her first obedience class with Chris. She is doing very well. We are working on her trust issues. She now knows how to sit, lay down, touch, and go to her bed. She has come such a long way and we are so proud of her!! Lana is such a good sport and is so patient with little Ging as well.



Lana is entered in her first agility trial November 6-7. It is in Westminster, MD. It should be a lot of fun. Lana's teachers said she is ready and encouraged us to enter so we are entered.... my expectations.... to have a blast and for Lana to not act crazy!!! The other dogs in my class who have dogs at the same level as Lana and same age have entered their dogs this summer and fall and their dogs have just ran around the ring like crazy... soooo we will see if that happens!!! I think we are entered in 2 events per day. Wish us luck!!!
