Wednesday 5

This is been quite the interesting day! I took Matilda and Duke out to our front yard and ran about 4 laps each around our front yard and those of you who know how our yard looks you probably know I was tuckered out :) It was fun!!! The point was to have Matilda a tad tired to train ,well once we ran those laps she did excellent on the leash (now I know what to do) My friend gave me that idea to wear her out before training sessions and it would most likely go alot better! Well it did.

Duke is such a charmer! He obeys and doesn't need alot of correction! There was a few things that needed to be fixed like coming right when called and paying attention but he is still a puppy so the last one is normal!

Tomorrow we are going on a road trip it is a 4 hr drive one way! I love roadtrips and now that I have my permit I can help do some of the driving SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!

The magic of photoshop :)

                     After

This is what you can do with photoshop! it is a tad hard to do with a dog and if you know what I did you can notice it but if you never know you would never see it right?

Matilda :) :) 1 Year already!

Today was a good day to take pictures of Matilda she was in a good mood so that made it easy :)! Can't believe she is 1 already where did the year go? Such a sweety yes annoying sometimes and hard headed but a more loyal loving dog you will not find :)

Party Hat :)

Matilda's birthday was last week on Wednesday but I only got arounf to taking pictures with her party hat today she was not impressed but I was surprised she left it on long enough for me to snap a couple of pictures!

Happy Anniversary

22 years WOW that is how long my parents have been married today!

 It makes you stop and think over the past year/years you mostly think of the good and try not to think of the bad and all the hurt and pain! I know it made me stop and think of how wonderful it is to grow up in a Christian home cause there are some people that don't wanna remeber thier first wedding anniversary because they are either divorced, were abused , and the list could go on.

I am thankful for my parents for more than one reason yes they argue (what family doesn't) But for the most part we are a happy family and we get along! We have cried together, laughed together, hurt together, and had TONS of fun together, and yes argued together  but you know if I had a choice I would do it over in a heart beat yes, I would do somethings differently. I had to work harder longer hours than some people, it wasn't always fun right after homework to go out and help dad but you know really I didn't and still don't have it all that bad!

What I have been doin' lately

Well well what to write :) I have been super usy here of late but I guess I always say that. This week we have been fetching tractors, tearing apart tractors, and selling and loading LOTS of tractors (which is a good thing due to how many tractors we have) , and canning tomatoes!

August 29, 2012
Marked the first year of Matilda's life. Wow can't believe she is already one the year has went by SO fast! I got a treat and some special wet dog food that I always get on thier birthdays and they always get new tennis balls I did something different too I got her a party hat!!!! LOL I know I spoil them rotten but it doesn't cost much if you shop right!

This also made me miss Sasha wich may sound dumb to some people but to think a year ago I was so worried about her because she had surgery that day and we spent a good majority of the day at the vet. We also hapened to can tomatoes the same day as well thats why me and dad were at the vet cause mom had to stay home!

DUke is growing up SO fast I got my camera out to take pictures I guess what they say about children can also apply to dogs :) I believe I took more pictures of Matilda than I am Duke!

Training has been going slowly right now with Matilda some of the reason is we've been working late in the shop and I haven't had alot of time before bed! But being busy at work is a good thing! We have been working on "Heel" I would love to take her down to the kennel down from us a bit and have him show me how to do it cause for some reason I just can't get it and it is frustrating for me and her.

Duke has been doing good in the sit we had a training session awhile back for "sit" and I didn't think it helped much or got through but the other day when I was taking pictures I gave him the cue to "sit" and he sat ( I do all my training with mostly cues) I was SO proud!

Well I should go work! TTYL:)
