Puppy Playdate

For those of you who cannot get enough pictures of wild and crazy pups at play, here are some pictures from our playdate at our friend Lauren's house, with her dog Abby. Mostly the pups played, raced and chased, wrassled and nommed on each other, but we did do a tiny bit of training...most notably, Streak was introduced the regulation sized agility tunnel (collapsed down to a shorter, straight tunnel for ease of comprehension):

And after much encouragement, demonstrations by the other dogs, and treat rewards and praise this was the result:



Yay! Streak in the tunnel! So far, she seems to think this agility thing is pretty cool, especially when there are treats and praise involved.

Of course, Clara Bow was not to be outshone by her big sis, and had to show off a little herself, even if the tunnel isn't her favorite piece of equipment:



A girl has to retain her Agility Queen title and cannot let her upstart sister even think she has any aspirations to the crown. Clara Bow is far too competitive to let that happen.

Streak got in quite a few mad sprints and enjoyed herself thoroughly. Clara Bow enjoyed the nomming and wrassling, and Mack enjoyed it all. Much fun was had by all the pups!





















































I'll be MIA in Blogland for the next few days, both in posting and in commenting, as work will be taking over for the next little bit. I'll be working 24 hours in a span of 46 hours. Somehow that doesn't seem like it should be legal, to be scheduled for 50% of all possible hours in a 48 hour span from Saturday afternoon to Monday afternoon. Keep your fingers crossed that I will be able to make it through and will not be passing out as a result...That said, I'm off to set the alarm and attempt a small nap before I have to leave for my shift today, as I did not get as much sleep as I would've liked...
