The Bark About Town

Well, it has been 1 week since we got the new pup.  He is doing wonderful and potty training is going VERY well.  He's had only 3 accidents.  Monk is a sweet little guy with one heck of a personality.  He exudes friendliness and playfullnes.  He is just a ray of sunshine.  He loves the cool fall days and isn't yet overly fond of the crate, but is doing well.  We've been doing a regular schedule and crating so he gets used to it on a regular basis.  He and Twister are enjoying playing together.  Tinker isn't too sure of him yet - he isn't yet sure of her either for that matter.  Hunter doesn't really care. 

Monk already knows sit and we're working on letting us put the collar and leash on without a fight.  He is so wiggly!  He is sometimes defiant but were working on that too!

We are getting a new puppy - and no, it is isn't a basenji!  I know, you are all shocked.  I love them, don't get me wrong, but I've wanted a Siberian Husky for a while.  PLUS I've heard they are a lot like a basenji in temperment.  I'm hoping he'll get along with both Twister and Tinker.  Hunter won't care who he is, he won't want to play with him. 

The pup is 11 weeks old (almost 12 weeks) and a beautiful boy.  We will be posting photos of him shortly.  We are going to do confirmation and agility with him.  His name is "Monk".  Likely it'll turn into "Monkey".

We are getting him tomorrow!  EXCITED!

Well, we did the CPE show today in Dexter, MI.  We entered for 5 runs.  Tinker was ready.  I was ready.  We did pretty good for the first show in 2 years. 

Our first run was for the game Jackpot.  Tinker did really well, qualified, and took first place!

Our second run was for the game Standard.  She didn't qualify but got 3rd place.

Our third run was round one of the game Wildcard.  Tinker qualified and took 1st place again! 

About this time it was getting late and she was TIRED!  Me too. 

Our 4th run was the 2nd round of the game Wildcard and we took a NT/NQ because she was being a bubblehead!  That's ok though...she did good and we had fun.

Now we know next time she needs to have a shorter day!

Here is a photo from the show today.

Tinker and I will be entering an agility trial on 10/11 in Dexter, MI.  We're so excited.  We haven't competed in quite some time (about 2 years).  She and I have been going to classes for the past 8 weeks or so and she is doing GREAT!  I'm hoping she'll do her best that day...oh, who am I kidding...I hope I do my best since she takes all her ques from me!

GO TINKER!

Meet Shelly!  She is a sweet 1 yr old german shephard/beagle mix (best we can tell).  She is such a love.  We found her as a stray and she had no identification.  She is fully vaccinated and will be getting spayed shortly.  She is very gentle, quite loving and an all around wonderful little lady.  Shelly weighs 51 lbs and is in good health.  If you are interested in adopting Shelly, please contact us!  We are looking to get her into a new home before the holidays!  If you'd like to sponsor her spay surgery, please let us know too!  She will need $150.
