Patriot and Paloma Get To Work

Auntie Suzanne came over yesterday to work with Patriot and Paloma on conformation. At this point, they are almost 21 weeks old which is just about 5 months. Both of them did well with Patriot catching on quicker to the little leash requests Suzanne gave him to correct his free stack. Paloma was a little distracted - she caught on to the leash work but thinks she's a German Shepherd (notice her stack). Patriot's natural stacks were really nice and overall he did better than Paloma. I thought both the pups did very well for this being their first time working on a show lead. Hopefully they will continue to grow at an even pace and we'll check again in a couple of weeks.

Every session ends on a good note!

Playing With Bubbles

Brianna found this really cool bubble blower at the store the other day ~~


OK, Mom - I'm waiting! (Patriot)


Where are the bubbles? (Paloma)


Hey, Paloma! Look, I'm trying to catch a bubble!


OK, everybody - open your mouth, and say AH! Catch a bubble! You're talking to the choir! We know what to do.


Get away from that bubble ~ it's MINE! (Paloma's giving Hannah a raspberry!)


Oh, look how pretty they are - all the colors of the rainbow!


I told you - those are MY bubbles, Paloma! Look how pretty they are!


Now, I'm really not going to tell you again! I want to catch ALL the bubbles, ME, just ME!


I still think they are pretty!


Wow, that was fun! When's your Mom going to do this again?

**Hannah was being a good sport - she wasn't yelling at the pups - she was just trying to catch the bubbles like everyone else! Marley was in the other room, totally uninterested in what was going on!**
