Crazy but Good

The kids and I have had a crazy past week. Last week was full of tests and what not but we had a fantastic weekend. We packed up Friday afternoon and headed to Galveston with Heather and her girls, Karma and Blush for a fun weekend at the beach. Stacie and Ken joined in on the fun on Saturday with Riddle and Tryst and the dogs all had a ball. Shimmy actually really enjoyed herself and frolicked in the water like a "normal" dog. :) I guess she was just super excited since other dogs thought it was cool. Vengeance took to water like a fish and joined in fearlessly. He said hi to a few people as well and did so great in his first overnight hotel trip. Aside from that this week should be just slightly lighter since I've gotten all of my tests out of the way and am spending time getting ahead on homework tonight so I won't have as much to do the rest of this week. This weekend, we have nothing planned so I might see if some friends want to come over to snuggle with Vengeance and help him get used to more people. All in all he's doing really well with meeting new people and checking out new places. I'm super impressed. Poor Shimmer tore her front paw pads at the beach this weekend but is recooperating well and resting up. They don't seem to bother her as much as they did yesterday so I think she's definitely feeling better. Also excited for the upcoming Howl-O-Ween Festival end of next month. Shimmer will be joining in on agility demonstrations and it'll be awesome to get Vengeance out and about for something really exciting like this. Aside from that I need to look at my trial schedule and enter something else. I'm ready for some more agility. Lots of pictures from the beach are up on Heather Valenta's facebook-check them out they're amazing! Some of the most incredible shots. All dogs were captured really well. Lots of shots of Shimmy rolling around being an ultra dork and a few cute shots of the drowned rat swimming like a big kid! :)


Along with that, I took a few pictures on my phone today just playing with Vengeance. He's eight weeks old today! Can't believe I've had the little bugger for a week. He's turning out to be an absolutely awesome little puppy. Looks great, has tons of drive, loves toys, is really willing to do just about anything. Fantastic puppy! Can't express how happy I am with him. We'll focus on working on a few things this week now that he's had time to settle in and hopefully be able to report with some cool news of tricks sometime soon!

Tugging to his hearts content :)
