Small update....

So over the past few weeks there hasn't really been a lot going on. I bought an electric blanket, which is both good and bad. The good is that I'm nice and warm at night.... The bad is that neither me nor Muffin want to get out of bed in the morning.

Another good thing is that since switching to Orijen Fish, Muffin seems to be eating more regularly... I found a place with reasonably priced premade raw($1.50/lb for lamb, duck, turkey, & beef.... which is SOOOOO much cheaper than the store). I don't have to buy in bulk either, which is one of the main reasons I stopped feeding raw(no place to store it). So I think I will start mixing in some raw with his kibble... or maybe feeding them as seperate meals?

It's been freezing cold AND snowing.... so I haven't been able to get out in the woods for a bike ride.... I've been going to my brother's house so Muffin can play with his dogs.... it at least lets Muffin rid himself of some energy.

I'm also in between classes which stinks. I'm taking a 1/2 hour focus/heeling class on Tuesdays... and I decided to drop Muffin's agility class. We'll be doing privates every other week on Thursdays for a bit. He's still on the "getting used to the equipment" stage, but all the other dogs have progressed to doing small runs. I felt we were falling very rapidly behind, and that is somewhat stress inducing. I thought it'd be better for us both to work solo for a bit. This allows us to work at our pace without feeling like dummies because everyone is doing so much better than we are.

Muffin has apparently learned there is a big difference between the training facility and every where else. He "works" at the training facity.... he is "off" everywhere else, and therefore doesn't have to listen to what the "boss" is telling him to do. *rolls eyes* But, that's a corgi for you.

Actually, the main problem is that all his loose lead training has apparenlty gone out the window anywhere that isnt' the training facility. During the colder Months, I don't do any on leash walking.... I happened to have him in town the other day with me though..... It appears we are going to have to start at square 1 until he realizes "leash=walk with manners no matter where we are."

The breeding I had hoped to get my first Cardi puppy out of, is off. It was very upsetting to me... It appears that the next breeding with a possible blue show prospect male will prob be in another 2 years. I happen to really love Kim, she's been amazingly easy to talk to and her personality and mannorisms(for lack of a better word) are so refreashing! So, I think that I really want to stick with her for my first Cardi.

That being said, I was also getting very interested in terrier sports(GTG & Racing mainly)... terriers are also great dogs for agility and flyball.... so it looks like I will be bringing home a Jack Russell that I have been squeeing over since his birth a little over 6 months ago. So I guess in the end it all works out.
