    the newest troublemaker

    We lost our Gus back in December. He was my husband's heartdog and obedience partner and they were quite a thrill to watch in performance, as M is 6'3" and Gussie was 7lbs.

    But the Universe has her eye on us for openings....and within 3 months had a plan. I was talking to a breeder friend who had a puppy she didn;t quite know what to do with and as we've seemed to have a kind of magical rapport with her more sensitive dogs...she asked if we wanted to bring her home for a few days and see what we could do....and maybe keep her. The problem was that she was just shut down and unresponsive....

    well. here she is. Emma. She is my new agility/obedience friend and next week we make our debut in the breed ring (shetland sheepdog)....SHe is the most active, nosiest, in the way PITA we've ever had and I'm just NUTS about her!!!

    Elk,
    I hope you come up to our (CBDTC, Kennewick, WA) agility trial next spring. We'll have to get together and compare agility dogs!

    Awwww, Lisa, she is beautiful! She looks so content already in your home.

    P.S. I am very sorry about your loss of two kitties in such a short span of time. I've been away from TE for awhile (just too darn busy), so I missed your posts about them. My sympathies....

    What a great story. Emma sure is a beauty.

    thanks.

    This morning things are really settling in nicely between Pearl and the new little Suki. First they were touching noses in the living room with no hissing or growling at all..... and a few minutes ago this was the scene in my office here...

    Wow, is Emma a beauty!

    Lisa - looks like Suki owns the place, lol. Glad to hear the adjustment is going well and quickly.

    I had the behaviorist over again on Thursday and he was so delighted with the progress he had nothing to teach! Rusty did perfect on every test he threw at him (not Zeus, lol, he did a bit of growling at the trainers pup he brought by). I am beyond delighted with his progress. Yeah!

    Lisa that is awesome news! My Heidi and Tortilla are thick as thieves, isn't it a nice relief when their personalities don't clash? It is stress bringing a new critter into the fold, I remember I agonized about if Heidi would accept Maggie, then Tortilla it was the same.

    Your girls are delightful!
