getting back to normal

With only Frieda and Thaitha left, life is getting back to normal here, the older dogs have no issues now with only two babies around. So now the x-pen fences are being packed away and the pups have free run of the house. Today Puuma even found her duck toy and tried to show it to Frieda and Thaita, but Sammy saw her and became a puppy again.Yesterday was the first Rally-O training day of the season for Sammy and me - the rain was pelting down - but hey - it's great to get started? But the thing about training with a RR is also training your trainer, a new enthusiastic lady had just started and she wanted us to repeat a turn for 8-10 minutes - Sammy did it right the first time AND the second and then we decided to something else...... when the trainer asked us to repeat the movement I kindly explained to her that certain things are just not done in RR training .... ESPECIALLY not when it is raining :-)
