We started off the weekend by going to a Fun Run Saturday morning. The place where it was held had a heavy teeter so I decided to test Foster's new fear of heavy teeters. After his run...nothing has changed, he is still refusing the teeter the first time and then going up it with me there the second time. So we'll keep working to build his confidence before the next show, but I think I will also plan to be right at the teeter at the next show too. He had great contacts and weaves though!! Lexi's first run was a disaster!! I tried her on the contacts w/o a target and just a verbal command for her 2o2o...she was in show mode and blew them all, and skipped the weaves too. She didn't do an automatic down on the table either(we have been working on this too), and there was no judge. Still A LOT of work to do over the next few weeks!!! She did do better on her second run. I didn't run the course, and instead just took her target and did the Aframe and the dogwalk a few times, then added some jumps and speed with those. She did really well on that run!!!!
Then we headed home to get the house ready for my Mom and Dad to visit. We also went to Lowe's to get some mortar and concrete last night because we have some people who are going to brick the border of our flower gardens today!!! The good old Jeep Liberty could only hold the 20 bags of mortar, so we have to go back today for the concrete! I'm excited because we have been wanting to get this project done for quite some time!
This morning, my Dad called and said that Mom wasn't feeling well, so they would have to come a different weekend. :( We are going to work on some other projects around the house I guess; hanging shelves, cleaning off the patio, looking for laminate to redo the first floor! Can you feel the excitement??
Here are some pics of the pups just hanging out in the yard after playing ball and frisbee!
Hope everyone has a great Labor Day weekend!!!
