Games Class

So mom finally remembered to bring the camera to our games class this past Thursday. She took some videos of me and dad playing around. Thought we would share with you.

Had a wonderful weekend. We went to visit Grandma and Grandpa at Lake Erie. We even stopped by the lighthouse today. Pics to come soon (so stay tuned).

This is me doing a sit/stay facing the wall. Daddy then has to run to the end of the ring and use my "come" command.



This is us making a bridge in the shark infested waters (pretend with me). We had to do down stays and build our line all the way across. Our team came in last place and we got eaten by the sharks a few times. I even stayed when they were throwing a frisbee around. You all know how much I love to play frisbee.



Then we played the blindfold game. We had to team up with another dog/handler team and guide them through. Daddy said he was not going to be blindfolded because he would fall down (silly dad), so we assisted Robbie the sheltie and his mommy to the end. My friend Scarlet (Weimaraner) and her mommy Michele are in the video as well.



Then it was MY turn to be blindfolded. Oh man...this was scary. But I did really good, I trusted my daddy to get me to where I needed to go.



So...these are just some of the games we played this week. Stay tuned for next weeks games.

Love and kisses...

New collars

So...after hearing many wonderful things about Dublin Dog collars on the dog forum I post on, we finally ordered the girls some new collars. These collars are "No Stink" collars and don't absorb water or bacteria.

My beautiful models

Starr



We have a third collar for Harley, but measured wrong and it is too big. If you guys know of anyone looking for a XL (23-27") no stink collar for much less than website, let me know. It is a very cool brown, tan and white collar argyle style.

Another Wordless Wednesday

My daddy has a blog!

My daddy is getting back into photography. He started a blog on here as well. If you like photos, please add him. He needs some friends...poor daddy with only 2 followers (one is me).

Problem with the shed

Hi guys...Starr here (don't tell Sagira I stole her blog)



I am having a bit of trouble in my yard. These things that mom calls "bunnies" have invaded my yard and are under MY shed.

I peak under and I can see them and smell them



I try to show my mom where they are but she just doesn't seem to get the hint that there are small furry things under MY shed



I circle....



and try to protect my yard but these things are driving me crazy!



I am a Weimaraner...bred to hunt these things and I can't get to them. GGRRRRRR!

Okay...have to run, Sagira is on her way in.

Frisbee!

Sagira here...



Yesterday the weather was kind of nice. So mom and dad took us all outside to play for a few. Harley couldn't come out because his leg gets sore when he plays too much. They know how much I LOVE playing frisbee.

Isn't my frisbee pretty?



I'm getting it mom!



I'm so proud and prance around when I have my frisbee



Action shot for all the guys checking me out!



I got it! I got it!



Samick tried to play with me but he is too slow. I was already to the frisbee before he even took off. Silly boy....



Come on Samick...



Starr thinks she is a frisbee dog...but she just tries to get to it before me so she can be bossy and tell me I can't have it



She is such a pain sometimes...but I still love my big sister.



She was telling me all about it...



But she gives up and I end up with my frisbee in the end...

Bad mom

Hey guys...Sagira here. I know my mom promised pictures from our Games class but silly mom walked right out of the house without her camera. She is such a bad mom.

But...I did remind her to take it last night. I had Rally class first and then we went to the other building for agility. We invited my brother Samick to come along. Mom took a video of my agility run, but I have to admit this isn't my best performance. I was kind of tired after having an hour long Rally class before this. Plus mom brought Samick along and I wanted to make sure he wasn't stealing my thunder so I was distracted and kept watching mom and Samick. But...here is my video, hope you enjoy and hopefully my next video will be better.

Today was so much fun. We went outside since all the snow is gone and it was warming up. Dad took a bunch of pictures of us playing frisbee. We will try to post them tomorrow.

Hope all my friends are having a great weekend...

Busy day today

2 classes in one night. Heading to our favorite training club for Sagira's retrieve class and then after that we are going to "Games" class. Games class is so much fun. Last week Sagira and Jeremy were first in "Dog, Dog, Bone" (kind of like duck, duck, goose). It was so much fun to watch. Hopefully tonight I can get a video or some photos for tomorrow. We are letting Samick tag along to watch the fun tonight. :)

THANK YOU

Just wanted to send a thank you to our buddies Phantom and Thunder for sharing some of their furpals with us. We went from 13 followers up to 23. Thanks guys! If you are not their friend yet, please go check them out at:

TheOPPack

Gear 4 Dog was having a sale 20 items under $10. We ordered new coats for Starr and Sagira. They are really nice. They are water resistant and come with a lifetime guarantee. I like the fact that they cover their belly as well. Some coats only seem to cover the chest area. Poor Starr doesn't have any fur on her belly area so this will hopefully help her out.

Rally Class

Sagira started her Advanced Rally class on Friday night. She is doing really well in Rally. Totally different speed from agility but not as boring as obedience. Kind of a nice mix.

Getting the hang of it again after a month off



Come on dad, race you to the finish line!

Samick's Bath

We took Samick to Mutts and Co today. They were having a special on their spa package so he got a really nice bath, brush and blow dry with a nail trim. You can tell he feels so much better (and smells better to). He is all ready to go with his Valentine bandanna as well.

Hey says... "Hey Ladies"

Sweet Frankie

Today is a very sad day. I volunteer for a Weimaraner Rescue. I received a call today informing me that my friends foster dog passed away this morning. She was a beautiful 1 year old Weim that was found as a stray. Michele was a wonderful foster mom and opened her home and heart to Frankie. Frankie was a one year old sweet girl with sores all over her feet and legs and bad ear infections. Michele worked to get her all cleaned up and infections out. Frankie was supposed to be adopted this weekend to a wonderful family. Frankie was spayed yesterday and had complications from her surgery. She passed away this morning. Our hearts go out to Michele and the family that planned to give Frankie a wonderful life. Sometimes I don't understand why things happen. It just doesn't seem fair that poor Frankie had such a rough beginning to life and just when things turned around for her she was taken away.

RIP sweet girl...

Brr

Sure is cold outside. Glad the girls have each other to snuggle with.

Sagira in the snow

Sagira loves the snow. This is when the husky part of her really shines. She would stay out there all day if we would let her.

I think I smell something down here



It is way down here

Dad...I think I see a bird over there



Can we go play now?



I stick my tongue out at you
