Getting excited to go to Hutch

Sorry I haven't been keeping up with my blog lately. I have been a little preoccupied and in the mornings have been really busy for some reason. Check out my performance blog for the latest on miller so I don't have to type it twice:) We are going to see a specialist on thursday Oct 29th so I am hoping we get answers then.

On to my little or should I say big Deuce man! I kind of had let him go about his own business for a few days and boy can I tell! We had to have some remedial sessions on toes and a few other things but now we seem to be on the right track again. I am really thinking about going to the Ann Braue seminar and take Deuce if I don't have to spend a ton of money on Miller and his injury. I think I will probably audit but we will have to wait till next week to decide.

I have to tell you a funny story about Deuce and how he trains us. We have bells on the door in the back so they always ring when we open them. Most smart dogs figure that out and will ring them to tell us to let them out. Well, Deuce figured that out really quickly so he will go in the other room and ring the bell over and over for any reason. Since I don't know when he is playing or when he is serious, I always let him out. He seems to really like being outside even if it is raining or windy, dark or light. He will even get in the pool if it is freezing outside! Anyway, last night he was ringing the bell constantly and when I would let him out, he would go out and then stand there and look at me, like aren't you coming out? I had gotten tired of him doing this so before we went to bed, I ignored his bell ringing and made him come up to the bed. We always start out with him in the bed with us and I was reading and he came up, sat next to me and then proceeded to pee all over the bed. I couldn't believe he did that! I had to strip the bed and then couldn't remember where the other set of sheets were so just grabbed a couple of comforters and slept on those last night. He got most of the pee on my big body pillow so everything had to go into the wash. URGH! He is too smart for his own good!

Since I am not running this weekend, I hope to get alot of training in at the trial. Probably won't blog again till sunday night. I do want to say thanks to all of my friends out there who have been so super supportive of miller and I through this frustrating time. Your kind words and encouragement and support have been really really great and helpful and I love you all. No one can beat doggy/agility friends (and mommies)!
