The mosquitos are out! Remember your Heartguard!
The weather was great. The older dogs spent the day outside basking in the sun while Trixie and Kahlua were inside (they are a little irritated with me right now because they are inside). I tried breeding Kahlua to Ace today but, she is not quite ready so, hopefully tomorrow will be his “lucky” day. I ordered a clipper for the dogs today from www.petedge.com. I have decided to shave them all down for the summer. I have never done that before but, I think it will help them stay cooler in the summer months. I also ordered crate colling fans for the crates in the Jeep so, the dogs when they are traveling can stay nice and cool besides the air conditioner. Baker has been a pill today; all he wanted to do is chase Jimmy and bark. I have a bark collar for him but, I need to charge it up again. I went and trained in Brandon with Kenny and his wife Missy (she is awesome). His dog Odie is in the process of being steadied; so we worked on that. I think when we add the gun to the equation that his “follow” through will stop and he will “hup” on a dime. We quartered Miata and she did great in fact we did it twice; she is such a happy go lucky puppy. SoBe ran the course and had a clip wing pheasant at the end; she did good. We also rolled in a pheasant for her; she is learning to carry them in her mouth, they are still a little awkward for her. Mini found the escaped bird twice and then trapped it. We threw it up for her but, it did not want to fly; I wanted to give her a retrieve for all her hard work. I cast her off one more time and she barked so, she got put away. Training went great and I am happy that I can train now in the middle of the week with live birds instead of only when I get down to Bill’s in Montgomery. Kenny, Missy and I are going to train tomorrow as well.
Happy Training!
