First, the workday then FUN

Earlier this evening, me'n Shiloh spent a couple of hours visiting at the nursing home - we did take a short break during that time. Tomorrow evening we will go to the library so the little kids can come and read to him. I am off work on Thursday & Friday - Thursday is Shasta's barkday and I plan on spending it at home & we will also go to Petsmart. Friday, me'n Shiloh are off to the hospice. I am worn out - Beaglebratz too - heading to bed shortly.

Blessing of the Animals

Me 'n the Beaglebratz are off to the annual Blessing of the Animals held in our city park in a bit - this is the 27th year. Shasta has never been - I think in light of what she is now qualified to do, she (we) need all the blessings she can get. Shiloh has been a couple of times but we missed it the last couple of years so better go and update his blessings.

Introducing ........

Tess's Sparkling Shasta

The newest Delta Society Pet Partner therapy dog and Canine Good Citizen in northeast Kansas.
Shasta had a ball with the attention, treats & being outside alot. She received some nice compliments, especially when she had to come to me after I had walked away 10 feet & she had to sit & wait til I called - she came bounding to me. And in her CGC test, even during the 3 minute separation test, no problem as she was interested in sniffing and snooping (Altho what does that say for the bond between me & her) .

And I was pleasantly surprised when one of the evaluators, when reviewing Shasta's scores with me, also paid me a compliment on my training skills - I have to admit, my self-confidence moved up a couple notches. Ok - will stop bragging now.

I am just very proud of my two Beagles who both are now therapy dogs and Canine Good Citizens

Today's the day.........

Shasta had her bath last nite - not too keen on that and especially the hair dryer I used after it. Never used the hair dryer before - took a while before I was comfortable with her being dry enuf to go outside - it was only in the mid-sixties yesterday. Well, I need to go get her bag ready (and this bag too). Want to try and get some leash work in before we leave so I need to stop for now - bak with an update later............

Shasta is having her therapy dog evaluation and her Canine Good Citizen test today;
