Fergie11's Blog – June 2009 Archive (4)

No luck. Yep Fergie did do great but I didn't want her to. Today our big lesson was getting her to come to you when you're out of site. I personally think 8 wk old pups will do that most of the time. We did do a little bit of agility work (10 minutes) which she hadn't done and was somewhat fun but I can't follow through with that because she wouldn't be able to compete for quite a few years (She's a dood and not fixed) so I'm not interested in that either.

I guess it's time to replant. Oh great. Now she wants to come in the house with those dirty feet. That's why they make puppies so cute or you'd kill them.
