Moving....again

I swear I move too much! Yes that is right folks! Robert, Hobbs, Patriot, and I are moving to Ogden, ut! It is about an hour north of where we live now. The best part is that we are moving into a house! We aren't buying it, just renting, but it has much more space than we have now, and had a BACK YARD for the dogs to enjoy (and for me to set up some agility stuff in! I will post some pictures of the new house probably Sunday, and then some more when we move in around the first of November. I am really hoping to have Hobbs puppy sat while we do the majority of the packing, so he doesn't stress himself to death.

We are very excited, and I can't wait to get to know the GDB club up there. That is the club where my dear Calliope spent her one and only season right before I got her. I am hoping to get to puppy sit a bit sense I will be in a better place to handle 3 dogs.

As for Agility plans, I have already talked to a trainer up there in the Golden Spike Dog Obedience Club and she has an Agility foundation class starting early next year. I know I am just finishing up a beginner class with Hobbs, but this one would be more geared towards setting a firm foundation for the competition dog. Then in May when the weather gets better, we would be in an intermediate class.

If you can't tell, I am VERY VERY EXCITED!!!!

No Bones About It!

In other news:

Hobbs is going to stay with our CFR tomorrow until Saturday at our state-wide meeting. This will be the deciding factor in his future as a PIT. Cross your fingers for him! I am a nervous wreck BTW! I have even been having bad dreams about the outcome of it!

The most horrific one was that he was chosen as a Canine Buddy, and went to live in his new home. He was totally miserable, and the family he went to had like 8 little children (like on John and Kate plus 8) and they were all running around Hobbs jumping on him, and pulling his ears and screaming at him. He kept trying to escape to his kennel, and would sit in it and cry! I woke up actually crying because it was so horrible!

I really don't think Hobbs would do well as a Canine Buddy because of his fear of children. Hopefully they will realize that and not even consider it for him, because I would seriously bawl my eyes out and have more nightmares about it.

Anyways, happier news is that even though he is basically on house arrest again, he is being an angel in every way! I love this dog soooooo much! We are going out tomorrow to take what may be his Final pictures in his jacket, I am just crossing all my appendages that it is sunny and not raining like the last couple days.
