So, got a few minutes here.....
Meeting #3 for RIDE STRONG this week. We talked about caring for your horse. What needs to be taken care of on a daily, weekly basis. I brought all my brushes and passed them around. They got a kick out of them, and kept commenting on the 'smell'. LOL
I showed them a video of me brushing Jay, and then we 'brushed' our horses.
We cut out little tiny brushes and went through the motions from head to tail, and the appropriate order.
I wanted to get into feeding, but that hour goes so dang quick. I am asking parents to allow them to stay until 4:30 from now on...but little league is starting, so I don't know how well that will go over.
Tuesday found us at a new puppy class. This is Canine Good Citizen II. There were 4 of us in the class and when I looked around, Pipes was the best behaved
, but.....they just finished up CGC, so she's had 12 weeks additional training then them.....so that should be expected. :wink:
Seeing other dogs tho does put things in perspective. We think she is kinda bad....but compared to the other dogs, she's very well behaved.
Took her to the school with me today. She was afraid to go up the stairs. I think b/c the one side looks open. She eventually went. Good practice!
Then we took her to the feed store. Talk about sensory overload. Poor puppy. She barked at the owner, which is a man. (something we need to get over). He was real good with her tho.
It helps that I wear the 'Therapy Dog in Training' vest....people are definitely more tolerant and helpful when they know I am trying to acclimate her to different environments.
Now that the weather is breaking, hoping to get her out more.
Some bad news......Hammy Ham is MIA. :-( Yep,
someone didnt' secure the top of the care correctly and she escaped. My biggest fear is that she fell into the garbage can and was swept out with the trash. (at school) :shock: That would be a horrible death. We have her cage sitting on the floor....just in case....but I haighly doubt she's comin' back. :-(
Raoddy, nice place!! 17 acres looks great. Seems like a fair price too. HOpeing it works out for you.
TJ, congrats once again!!:thumbsup:
OH, my guest came yesterday and watched me teach. It went just fine. It was refreshing that she actually 'got it'. My kids talk a lot, but it's productive learning talk. Usually people are turned off by that, but she so respected it. so....I think she got what she came for.
She also kept commenting how they were THINKING. She was impressed with that! Hmmmm.....I guess they do! Being with them everyday, you sometimes don't notice the growth and maturity.
She also commented that she noticed most of the other classrooms were straight rows of desks....she wondered if I was the 'black sheep'. A lady with real attention to detail.:wink:
Speaking of the others....nobody knew she was coming except the admin. When I walked down the hallway with a stranger all eyes were :shock::think: LOL I did introduce her to the guy next door (Mr. 3:15).....he is sure to inform the 'others' what the visitor was all about! :lol::lol::lol::lol:
HOping to get a ride in tomorrow and maybe Monday. Monday is to be in the 60s!!!! YeeHaw!
Have a good night all.
