Today I went to watch the USDAA show in Wylie Texas. It was so fun watching Jamie and Derby do marvelous! I just hope that me and Toby can be half that good!
As far as working with Toby today, Well he gave me the scare of a life time tonight. We were on our very long walk when two kids came flying by on a bike and roller skates. Toby just freaked! slipped his collar and took off running faster than a squirrel can. I was screaming and screaming! Toby did not even look back he just kept right on going. Finally on the other side of the school yard a man and his wife were walking their dog stop. They could see Toby running toward them. They stopped and grabbed Toby by the scruff and held on to him until I could get there. My heart was beating right out of my chest! There just weren't enough words to express my gratitude. I sat there for a few minutes to catch my breath. I thought to my self we are going home! Toby still freaked was trying to pull me all the way home and I thought to my self. NO! he is not going to get rewarded for pulling that stunt. So I grabbed his leash and we went back to where it all started. I made him walk like we always walked before this happened. I am so glad I did that! After a bit he calmed down and we had a very nice walk. Tomorrow when I get home from work we are going to get a better fitting martingale. One that won't slip over time and become loose. I should have done this months ago. I guess I was just being lazy.
