My GF's mom has abducted Tie for a week

He'll enjoy the slower pace that's for sure. Not sure what newman is going to do without his sparring partner though

Why.... did she need a bodyguard?

Aww you must be missing him, we went away for a while (got back on Tues night) and Fudge went to my Mum's (cause he is too little to board) and Ruby went to boarding where she is also doing a two week training program under the guidance of Steve Austin we pick her up tomorrow and it is killing me!

That training sounds interesting. Ruby already seemed like such a well trained dog. I'm curious as to what she's learned.

Well, she went mainly for boarding, because she is used to having someone home most of the time we thought we'd put her in for training too as it meant she would get more one on one interaction with a person rather than one walk a day and put in the exercise yard which is the norm. With the training she had multiple training sessions a day and as she was under the care of her trainer and not the attendants and the trainer was able to see she was "a very energetic and highly excitable dog"

(that was the trainers way of putting it) sooo she got extra walks and play sessions

, as well as working on her "focus" which she needed - that girl can be distracted by a fly, we are thinking of sending her again in January in the hopes she may eventually progress to working on focus off lead and Fudge will hopefully go to and work with them. I can see a BIG difference in her focus, I had her in a drop - stay and Fudge was jumpin all over her and she didn't break eye contact with me - I just hope I don't "break" her LOL.
