Coming Saturday: Weaves!

Shasta has done really well with her spay.  Kris put a t-shirt on Shasta while she had stitches  You can see photos of it at http://shastaaday.blogspot.com/.  Whether it was the shirt, the fact that she was unsupervised only a few hours or just Shasta's personality, she never bothered or tried to bother her stitches.  I felt guilty doing so little with her yet she seemed to handle that well too.  She did a five minute "butt run" in the house her first day without stitches but that's about it for a release.  We did play some ball outside with Sonic and Zenna on Tuesday.

Two more days and it's full steam ahead in training weaves.  We are going to give it a few more days before I start with jumping.

I did do a tiny bit of.... obedience tonight.  That's three times in three months.  It may not be our strong suit at that rate.  She does very well with attention.  Really, really well.  But I am having troubles keeping her from flaring out to look at me from in front.  And I've tried all three nights to shape her into getting into heel position all on her own with very little progress.  But, oh well.   If I work on obedience, she is showing positive signs there too.
