Healthy Dog

On Wed Toby spent the day are the Vets office. He had his teeth cleaned, his hips x-rayed, thyroid, liver, and kidneys checked. I know poor guy was poked and proded all day. But everything came our just great! No worries for my big guy! He is also loosing weight. He started his diet at 48lbs. He is now 46.4 lbs. We are aiming for 44 or 45 lbs so we are almost there. Yeah!

Next week will be our first test week for P3. There are 2 weeks of tests before going on to agility. I think we are going to pass! Toby is getting very good at his sit stays and down stays. Last week the instructor tried to get him to grab a tuggie toy while he was in a sit stay. His ears perked up but he did not move. Great Job Toby!

As far as his obedience class on Thursday night we need lots of work on the stand. I have a very lazy dog. Instead of standing he wants to sit. Instead of sitting he wants to be in a down. As far as a stand and stay, Fat chance! We need lots of work on this!

It won't be long before Toby is back on the agility equipment. He is really getting anxious. Last night while doing obedience there was an agility class going on beside us. Every time Toby heard the teeter hit the ground he had to look and stare and whine a bit. I know his misses being on the equipment but until he learns that he has to do what I want, he can't do what he wants. Mean, Mean mommies.
