Hi all! Another weekly update from your resident greatest puppy in the world! Nothing exciting really is happening here. I’m slowly learning the routine with everybody. When we wake up. When we eat. When we get to play and train. It’s hard work learning all of this stuff, but mom and dad keep telling me it’s important. They especially stress the whole waking up thing. They seem to get angry if I wake up early […]
Hi all! Sorry I missed last week, but my dad went to somewhere called Florida with my sister Luna and he took the laptop. So I didn’t have a way to post. He said it was warm and didn’t have any snow. Why didn’t he take me?! We have so much snow right now that it almost touches my belly when I walk around in it! I do love chasing my sister Onyx out in […]
4 weeks. That’s 1 full month I’ve been in my new home. I’m getting more comfortable everyday and starting to learn the routines of home. The big news this week is that I woke up one morning and my ears were sticking up! My dad got all excited and had to take a picture to document. They still touch because my head isn’t big enough to separate them, but I don’t look like a Border […]
Hey all! It’s been 3 whole weeks since I became a US canine citizen. 3 weeks seems like it’s been forever. In those 3 weeks I’ve had a lot of fun with my family. I thought I had a big back yard, but this week we went past the big fence and HOLY COW there is so much open space I didn’t know quite what to do. So I ran and ran. I chased after […]
Hi everybody! It’s me, Z, again. I’m checking in with everybody to let you know about my 2nd week in my new home. It was a fun week as I get more comfortable with all of my new siblings. They’re all a lot of fun, but Luna is the most fun! She plays with me all of the time. Jane is starting to like me more and we’ve had a few play times that were […]
Hi all! My name is Z. I used to be called Black Widow, but my dad says I needed a name that was easier to say when we’re running really fast at something called agility. I don’t know what agility is yet, but my dad says I’ll know soon enough. I’ve been with my new family for a week now. When I left my old family said I was “going south” which they said would […]
On October 14th, 2017 the 2nd annual Midwest Agility Open took place in Dixon, IL at the Granny Rose K-9 Enrichment Facility. Last year the event was held outdoors at my house, but this year I wanted to move it inside because you don’t want to tempt mother nature too much. And as it would happen, thankfully we went inside this year. It was a gloomy and rainy all day long with periods of thunderstorms […]
Running dog walks (RDW). To do or not to do. For those of us who have trained one it becomes addicting and we want to train all of our dogs to have one. For those of us who have trained one it can be frustrating to train one because it can take a long time and sometimes that’s all we get with the dog. We never get the additional behaviors one would like–turns, lateral distance, […]
