Jeannie Fun

Jeannie had a blast today with everyone but we are just too tuckered out to do photos.

I am crawling into bed in a half hour so I can sleep for a few hours so I can do the overnight vigil.

So my updates may be at strange times for a bit.

Jeannie and Ms Abs

I love that Ms. Abs has taken Jeannie under her ring.

When her pups are gone she will still have the Jeannie.

They play who can get the toy first every single day. It's fun to watch.

Feeling bad that Jeannie missed her class. Fill us in on what you learned this week. I can't find my paper.

No Class

Just said to Nathan this morning I wonder if you will be making class while I stay with Spice.

Well, no class for Jeannie. She will be there next week.

We hope Cha Cha and Timmy have a ton of fun! She will miss them but soon Timmy will be coming here - fun!

I Won

One thing that I have determined from Jeannie is she MUST win. She does everything in her power to do so. It doesn't matter what game it is her mind is always working.

Will she be in class? We won't know till close to evening. Either way, I will not be there.

Big or Little?

Jeannie plays with the little ones and with the adults.

Sometimes I think she is stuck in the middle, so to speak.

A part of her would love to believe she is an adult and a part says ah just my size!

Good news is she is learning to adjust her play depending on who she is playing with. It's a good learning process to go through.

Charlie and Jeannie

Jeannie just loves to play with everyone and she adores Charlie. It may be that Charlie just loves the play and so does she. They go and go and go and go and then they drop. It's great fun to watch and so good for them socializing in this positive way! Here are some photos of them playing together.

Jeannie and the Cha Cha

Cha Cha is over to play and have a bath.

I am going to wash her just before her human Daddy comes for her otherwise Jeannie will have her a mess again.

They are having a roaring grand time and this will be good for then in class.

Timmy will also be coming for a sleep over visit and I will be his teacher in class for that one class so that too will be great for me and for Jeannie.

Here's a few photos of the duo playing today that Nathan took. Now off to bathe Logan and Panda then Cha Cha then the 2 pups going home tomorrow. :-)

Quiet Day

Okay, I played with the pups today. I am getting better and better especially since they have perfected their skills.

I did some training and chilled with Daddy but really its been a down day for me today. Yes, even I get those!

Class 3 Down

Jeannie has now had 3 classes with Timmy and Cha Cha. In this class she was doing a fabulous recall off lead but we aregoing in steps so that's what we did.

They don't realize daddy always teaches recall and gets a fabulous one as long as he treats.

Jeannie did wonderful in class. She did everything that was expected and more.

It may have been that Cha Cha came to the class with her or maybe this is just class 3 and her first set of classes and class 3 was it to come into her own.

I am not sure but I am glad she settled into her crate for the drive and was fabulous in class.

Cha Cha and Timmy are great in class. They had a set of classes before this one but even with that in mind - they are great!!

Here are a few photos from class.

To Class With Cha Cha

Jeannie just had her bath. Nathan had people over and that was planned yesterday so I didn't get my usual timetable to wash up Jeannie so she got a rush job, pad cleanup tonight. My rush job isn't so bad.

She didn't look dirty but boy she feels and cleans up nice.

Cha Cha and Cha Cha's mom Jill is meeting us at our house to go to class and riding in together. So, Jeannie didn't eat, had a quick bath and this human also cleaned feet and legs on Logan and brushed up Panda and of course the rest of the crew was already groomed.

It's been a day and I am glad I can go to class. We shall see how next week goes.

I will be clicking in class. I think I am exhausted though and when we get home we have to rush for a havanese fanciers club meeting that we must attend.

Can I go to sleep now?

Spice best not decide tonight is the night.

Photos tomorrow if I click well enough.
