Home Made Twinkies

Finally tonight I had some free time to spend with a great friend. She came over to help me plant some flowers and to help me get my patio looking good. It sucks having the house on the Market. Around 8:30pm I got a phone call from my Realtor. She had some one who wanted to came look at the house tonight. They would be there at 9:00pm. Well, I had 3 dogs at my house with 3 dog kennels in my Kitchen. Dog toys and bowls all over the place. Well, thanks to Dori, we had all three dogs and ourselves stuffed into Dave's truck. The dog kennels in the garage, all the dog toys and bowls hidden. Even the weave poles and all of the dog gates Dave made for Toby stashed away. Floors swept and mopped and the glass on the back door clean. All of this in 29 minutes. All of this only to find that the lock box will not work after 8:00pm. So back to the house we went. We spent the rest of the night eating these wonderful home made Twinkies. They were absolutely marvelous! Thanks Dori for all you help and yummy desert! I guess they are coming tomorrow to look at the house.

Now a little about my Big Guy! We had another lesson this morning. Toby is doing great! He is learning that when I call him he needs to come to me. I am learning that Toby is just not ready for distance work. We are working on distance work so that Toby will get comfortable working away from me. I guess this is a sheltie thing. They like to be close. Anyway, since I have been staying closer to Toby he has not done any zoomies. The big thing for me is that I have a tendency to push Toby out. I have to learn to face the obstacle and not the dog. every time I turn towards Toby I push him away from me. When I do that he gets confused and wants to zoom. The big thing is that he is not zooming. He use to but is now coming back to me! Yeah!
