School Update!!

Paris starts Prep School on February 6.

Frasier starts Finishing School on February 15.

They will be attending a new school so I will probably be more nervous. There are a lot of classes available at the new school so I hope for more continuity. Both dogs will be working towards their Canine Good Citizen titles.

After what I've blogged about my dogs and their personalities, wouldn't you think that if I walked into my kitchen and there was a dog ON my kitchen table that it would be Paris?? Nope. Wrong. It was Frasier. Perfect Frasier. Picture on camera will eventually be posted on here.

I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year. This will be the first year in my adult life that I am setting "goals". Not resolutions!

1) I want to get to my goal weight. I've lost 48 lbs, and I have 12 lbs left. It has been slow losing lately because of the holidays.

2) I must get more exercise. I am searching for an exercise that I like. I have started running on the treadmill and so far it has my attention! I'll run outside when winter is over. Paris is completely fascinated by the treadmill. She sits right next to it and watches the belt go by! Frasier could not care less; he races back upstairs to be on the lookout for birds.

3) The dogs need more training. The facility where we went last year is great, but in order to get more classes in, it will have to be private lessons. I want them in a class situation, so am considering a different facility.

What are your goals for the year 2010?

Merry Christmas!

I hope you all have a great holiday season.

Frasier is 3 years old today! He had a bath yesterday so he'd be all handsome for today.

Happy Birthday to Frasier and the Calypso English Cocker Spaniel "E" Litter!!

Oh boy. Today is bath day! It is very difficult for me to get in "the zone" to groom dogs when it is pouring rain. It is suppose to be dry tomorrow, but I hate to put things off. Plus my brother and sister-in-law fly into town tomorrow! YAY! Enough whining.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.

I haven't posted here for so long that I almost forgot my password. It seems that when I am online I am on my Nutrisystem support group chatting or on Facebook. It has been a very good Summer. The dogs definitely did not get as much training as I had hoped they would. I have to check with the doggie school to see what is going to be offered for Paris..it is her turn.

I had company for a week in August. There were up to 9 people here at times. I just have to say that Frasier and Paris were excellent! The beds, sofa, and floor had overnighters and the only thing I didn't like was Paris giving the person sleeping on the sofa a "facial" every morning. Ewww. However, the human involved refused to put a stop to it. Other than that, both dogs were Very Well Behaved!!

The dogs and I are busy doing fall chores. They are an awful lot of help. I was cutting back plants this afternoon and I wanted to share a few pictures I took. There is only one of Frasier. Um, er, well actually I took two of him, but his face needs to be clipped so I will only post one of them. I have been told to never ever share pictures of your dogs if they are not groomed, but since when have I done what I'm told? I'll just say that both dogs are clean and brushed, but no trimming has been done yet.
