Thanks! Murray is funny to watch in the snow. He will run around then just decide to lay down. I was kinda hoping that getting him now, the weather would start to get nicer, but it looks like a cold few days coming up :(

Hi Jane, thank you! Your photos are adorable! :)

Hi Jane!

 Thanks for the welcome! Winry & I live in Burnsville :) I'm excited for Winry to hopefully meet some friends her own size ;) She was the smallest in her puppy kindergarten class, and is the smallest in her puppy plus class! Our little girl Winry will be 4 months old next week!

Hi Jane, Beau,

The Airport Dog park is located at the end of 28th Ave in Minneapolis.  It dead ends into the airport.  From St. Paul you would get over to Hwy 62 (crosstown), from river, go west, from 35W go east, exit on 28th ave and turn south toward Airport. You can't miss the park, it is at the left dead ending into the airport. Great place, but beware, lots of dogs, in case Beau gets cranky around a lot of them....sometimes Ted does.

I have odd hours during the week, but perhaps weekends?

Hi Jane,

I don't know that I like that instuctor's style of communication. It sounds like you are doing a good job and it's not always easy as we both know!  I think Charlie and I are already getting a handle on Oliver's barking and guess what!? He made it up the stairs last night all on his own.  He was so darn adorable climbing then and was so proud of himself.  I plan on putting a video on here of him climbing them.  I said on my barking blog it will be to the theme of "chariots of fire" movie.  Remember that?  So,,, now he gets to sleep in our room with us and has a whole new floor to explore with Jeter!  Charlie helped him a little on Wednesday night and he's so smart.  Whenever, we are going up stairs, I'll say "Oliver, you want to go up the stairs and he'll run to the first two stairs!  So cute!  The treats idea is also a good one and I actually thought of that but he did it on his own!

Anyway, I hope we'll be able to chat again soon!  That was fun and keep me posted on the classes.  It sounds like you are doing a good job and your best and I have all the confidence that you will get a passing grade!!  Hang in there and give Beau a kiss!

Hi Jane!  How are you and Beau doing?  I had so much fun chatting with you!  Will have to do it again sometime.  I started a new blog on Oliver's barking.  Ever since the warm weather has arrived, the windows are open and he barks at EVERYTHING!  Help!

Jane,

I meant you could get the neutering done later than six months..  Sorry about that!

Hi Jane,

Weekends fly by don't they?  Yes, Oliver is due for his neutering 12/9.  Vet suggested we get it done when he's 6 months old but you could get it done sooner.  Our breeder made us sign papers promising that we would have it done within a year.    If you want to save some money on the procedure,  you could go to The Friends of Animals Organization and purchase a certificate.  You would have to find out if your vet accepts them but I beleive the organization is nationwide.

I tried posting some new photos of Oliver and Jeter but the format wasn't right here at work so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to do it.  Their eyes in the pics don't always come out good, some downright spooky, LOL.  But. I'm going to post some of them anyway!

Give precious Beau a hug for me!  He's so darn cute!

Talk to you soon!
