2nd report is in!

Ms "sassy pants" continues to do well. She's doing well with new commands, but doesn't like to come in from the play yard......that seems a little familiar! She's also been jumping on other trainers. She's never done that, but she does get pretty excited when playing.

Keep up the good work Ms Sassy Pants!

First report is in!

We received our first report yesterday and PJ is doing well in advanced training! She passed the medical exams and the 1st temperament test and seems to be adjusting to kennel life just fine.

Keep up the good work Peege!

Week one has come and gone...

And PJ is still in Ohio!!

Next Wednesday is the first report/phone call. Keeping fingers crossed.

Turn-In Time 2014

The time has come and gone and PJ is now in Advanced Training. We had a great trip to Ohio, saw lots of friends and--bonus! We stayed at Ansel's house for a night!

                        PJ wanted a suite so she could play with her friends...so what PJ wants, PJ gets (at turn-in time, anyway!)

This is what it was like for hours!

We went out to dinner Thursday night and PJ met Ansel.

Now THIS is a bed!! Shh...don't tell Suzanne!

Goofs!

PJ and Darius watching us enjoy our breakfast Friday morning.

Pastel, PJ, Darius and their great puppy raisers--if I do say so myself--and I do!

Ok, so we're trying really hard to smile here.

PJ and Auntie Linder. Look at PJ's tail--no, she doesn't love her Aunties!

PJ in her matriculation attire--!

PJ and Pastel--watch out world! The sistas are in the house! Or, kennel...

Hellllllllooooooo...has anyone seen my Mom? 

Nepal was too young to attend graduation with us, so he warmed up the kennel at North Central for Pastel and PJ.

Dr. No and Auntie Linder. Life is good.

PJ and Pastel are dorm-mates at Canine College. Both looked quite at home and immediately started playing...ROUGH! The good part is that we knew they were having a fantastic time as we left the building.

So the hard part was over and we were sad to leave PJ behind, but...we were very lucky to stay with Mr. Ansel for one glorious night!!

Here, Ansel was showing us how he normally spends his nights!

We had a great trip, saw lots of friends, cried a few tears and had some good laughs. Thanks to all the wonderful people of CCI, friends and fellow puppy raisers and a special thanks to Joe and Denise for welcoming us into their house for a very special night with Ansel.

Rock on PJ!

Out for a walk.

We went on a nice long walk yesterday and also played on the playground equipment!


                                                                                    Office PJ ready for duty!

Ok, I'll try climbing.

Yeah, but when do I get MY turn??

Why is it there's never a human waste disposal station? Sure, there's always one for us K-9's. Maybe a little prejudice going on??

Halloween 2014

Wouldn't you know it, TBG worked all day at the PT dept at McFarland Clinic and left me at home. I guess it's ok though, he did dress up as a Dalmation Toto!

That guy (TBG) is WEIRD! Need I say more??

Oh yeah, it's Fall!

While we were out and about this past weekend, we stopped by Deb's office at ISU and found this ginormous pile of leaves. Let me just say that I had a blast running and jumping into the pile!

I love this time of year!
