These are just a few shots from last night's class with Nanuq. 
Not quite as mayhem as the first week. Sit we definitely have and working on heel and stay
but distractions like a small bite of food on the floor she will go after!
Also trying the off command.
My schedule is unreal until about the 14th, with teaching a seminar last weekend and working full time at the hospital this week in ER, CCU and Med team, all areas of new learnings and then some on call and a few days again at the end of the month...but as I think about this learning curve and need to plan ahead I wonder if I have been outsmarted by Mother Nature and my dogs. 
It snowed again overnight and thus the swim suit and towel on the line
are definitely not dry and
the boarded up escape route next to the garage has obviously been breached by Dysis.
HAPPY MONDAY ALL!!
In spite of a very busy weekend I did manage to get out walking with the dogs 
in the fresh snow in the ravine thus afternoon.
These pigeons are hilarious...
fat and well fed with peanuts left on the railings, 
with the investigating dogs they will fly up about 2 feet and then settle again on the opposite side.
So what did you wake up to this April Saturday morning?
The cross country skis are safely ensconsced in their purple case in the garage, the dogs are seeking and digging in the last pile of snow in the front yard
( and in my garden beds 
if you look carefully in the upper corner of this photo ) and I have been out on the bike once.....So what did I wake up to this April Saturday morning? SNOW!!! 
Because of a seminar I am involved in this weekend the dogs are off in their doggie daycare, so no playing until tomorrow but here are a few shots of their romping earlier this week....Dysis is definitely dominant and lots of fake fierce growls.....
well thankfully there are still several piles of snow for the dogs to play and dig in and this also means the daily clean up is quite frozen. Dysis has only escaped once or twice and I was able to discover the escape route behind the garage and board it up. She now does stay around and the dogs are quite friends with each other doing much rough housing and chasing from front to back.
Dysis sleeps in at night and the pup on the porch
and we go for an hour walk in leash free in the morning. 
Tuesday night came back from my first puppy obedience class and think I survived. So the yard in effect has become my dogs kennel. So with this all, it will not be the pristine yard of other years.
Congrats to my reader from Hemet California who was surfing this morning before beginning the work day at 6:30 AM, you are my 4,444th visitor since March 2007
