The girl dog graduated from her beginners obedience training school today. Not only did she graduate, she graduated summa cum laude, magna cum laude, cum laude (lordie?), best attendance (that one was a tie, Jody got that award too because I missed the first class), citizenship award, public service award and Miss Congeniality (I came in second on that one). She excels at standing and not paying attention to commands (that is her favorite subject), but she does really well at sit, lay down and here is a treat. Our goal was for her to learn not to pull on the leash when we take her for walks, and she does pretty well at that too. The instructor was pushing the intermediate class for us, but I think we are going to pass on that, too much pressure to perform, so we will just see how this goes and I think that will be it.We did take a ride through some of the back roads close to the house later this afternoon, and there were a lot of Indian Paintbrush in bloom, but it seems the blue bonnets are kind of puny this year. We were hoping for better displays considering the late season rains and then spring rains on top of that. Maybe the peak is not here yet. Our Iris are blooming nicely, and it is a pleasure seeing all the varieties of blooms.
Tomorrow will be a work around the house day. There is lots of grass to be cut, and I am already ready for a nap.
Deeds, Actions, Changes, HONOR STUDENT, Kindnesses, Whirled Peas, FUN!
