This weekend went so quickly. Evan and I got a lot of rest and we got a little bit of work done too.
On Saturday there was an event at the park right by our house sponsored by Fidos for Freedom. It was a walk for dogs around the lake with some vendors and booths. There was a demonstration of Flyball and an agility course run by 4-H kids. (Did you know kids could do projects with their dogs for 4-H? I totally could have joined but now I’m too old!)
Fidos For Freedom Stroll ‘n Roll.
Emma did amazingly! She was curious about the other dogs and tolerated their sniffing in return. We took some video but I don’t know how to upload it so that will come soon. I was so impressed with how well she behaved. She was only intimidated by the loud and agitated dogs. I am excited to see how well she does tonight at the first training class!
I had a little panic on Friday night, though. She’s a very difficult dog. She gets these spurts of energy where she runs around the house like a maniac and bounces from couch to couch. She can get bitey at these times and it’s kind of frightening. I don’t really know how to handle this. She’s made a mess of our couches and I’m really upset about that. She’s scratched the fabric from all her running and jumping. I’m going to buy some slipcovers because they’re going to get ruined and smelly in no time. Maybe the trainer can offer some insight. I take her for long walks and we run around together a couple of times a day but maybe it’s just not enough for her energy level. Then the rest of the day she’ll spend sleeping on the couch.
She’s a nut and she drives me crazy already but I really do like her a lot.
