As for Heidi,
Last week we had our first agility class. It was a preview class which introduces a small tunnel and the A-frame set low. Mostly it's an evaluation to make sure the dogs and owners are ready for agility class. Heidi did great through the tunnel, and was good at the obedience items (suprised me). The first time over the A-frame she was a little reluctant. After that, she went over it, but was still a bit unsure. Official classes start next week. We're very excited.
After class ended and all the other people left, our friend Mary Rose, who was one of the instructors for class, got her boxer Malcolm out. We let them both off leash to see if they would play. They instantly started the chasing game, using the entire building space to run. Once around Malcolm would be chasing Heidi, the next round, Heidi was chasing Malcolm. Next time around, Heidi runs up and over the A-frame during the chase (so much for being unsure about that obstacle). They ran and ran and ran. Malcolm is Heidi's new best friend. We're hoping for more play time in the future with Malcolm.
Smokee update from Jim & Gail:
We had a very busy week for losing teeth. Smokee lost at least 8 teeth since last Sunday!! He has I think only one puppy canine left on his left upper to lose.
We are teething most of our middle teeth but I think they are all coming in. No wonder his focus last week was so bad!!
