Finally Flippin in Puppyville
We’ve shared over and over about how Leilani is developing very slowly as a disc dog…slower than we’d like. For about 6 months, she’s been eating grass in the middle of very short sessions, even right in the beginning of sessions. She still loves the disc, but the disc practice outside has been very unproductive. We’d settled in that we’d focus on her being our “trick dog” since she loved shaping so much and didn’t seem to stress at all during long shaping sessions. We were hoping that in the next 6 months or so, she’d settle in.
Long Legged Leila Monster
Leila has been a great teacher to me. When we got Lilli, she was already 4 months old and didn’t go through the puffy 9 week old bear stage or the basics of interacting with humans. She was already sound and chill and had a strong foundation with lots of time with her momma. In Lei’s case, I was essentially her momma – she was so fragile and teensy when we got her – yet inquisitive and very doggy. She LOVED her big sister.
Aussie Pool Party
Today we had the first ever Aussie Pool Party at our house. It all started when John Arnett told us that friends of his were looking for a performance home for an 11 month old bi female Aussie. My ears pricked up immediately….We’re interested! So John connected us with Ami from Mercury Aussies and we hit it off! Ami connected Sketch’s current family and us this morning so we can check her out and have an All-Aussie party at the same time!
Baby Leila Video – Day 1
I came upon this video tonight when I was cleaning off my desktop. It was so stinkin cute I had to post it for the world to see. Lilli is keeping a very close eye on her asking us…HEY what is this little stinky thing doing in my house with my Daddy?!
