Noel update

nothing much new to report. my mom saw Noel and her raiser the other day at a church gathering. according to my mom, she's now nearly as big as Kirby and has earned her puppy coat. according to her raiser, she's doing well and has calmed down a lot.

up and running

4-h is up and running again (finally) we haven't been meeting lately due to bad weather and no indoor place to meet(temporarily) tomorrow, Kirby and I will be helping out with a canine 4-h booth and doing dog obedience demos at a local festival . there will also be agility demos, but although Kirby loves agility he hasn't had much training in that area. I'm actually bringing my camera for once, so I should be able to post some photos. also, Kirby went on his visit as a therapy dog last month. it was at a nursing home that was just a few blocks away so me & Kirb roller bladed there while my mom with molly drove ahead. everything went fine. a little pulling towards other dogs, but he left them when i told him to. there was also a few bunnies, which Kirby felt he needed to keep tabs on at all times. however, the residents seemed to think it was cute, and many were impressed, because he's just over 2 years old. i held of visiting with him until he was older even after he passed his test, because being a therapy dog is more than being an obedient petting tool, they are being used for emotional therapy. i needed to make sure he was mentally able to deal with that.

on a sadder note, my hamster died last weekend. she was obsessed about escaping from her cage and a little anti-social, but I miss her anyway. my cavy passed away in November, so I'm officially rodent-free. i miss my little guys, so I may get another in June.
well i guess thats all, so i'm done now

Sorry i haven't posted in a while, i didn't know there was such a gap. between training the dogs for an upcoming show & working on the legend of zelda(twilight princess) I lost track of time. I went to see spiderman 3 on thursday(yesterday) i also scored a cool poster. on a scale of 1-5 it rates a 3. I don't want to give anything away, so I won't tell.
