Another V-ite checking in....
Long day, driving to next to last puppy class this morning... good class, Ziva preformed well and provided several laughs. Trainer asked all owners to walk their dogs, stop, auto sit, down and wait. Well Ziva was spot on with her loose lead walking, auto sit and usually drops like a rock for her down but today she decided her down would incorporate a YOGA POSE.... she decided to do DOWNWARD FACING DOG (front end down butt end up) and just hung out that way ;D She provided a humorous break in the action for those whose pups were not behaving.
A quick stop at a health food/pet store to allow Miss Ziva to pick out a new bully stick for being a good student and back home to the beach.
Last bit of Christmas decorating, homemade soup making and running in and out with a revved up V-dog who decided to go exploring in the Mangroves that separates our yard from the canal out back. The tide was out so instead of water the Magrove roots were exposed in the nice stinky, black muck. When she came out into the yard she was splashed with black ooze doing a happy dog smile from ear to ear, so needless to say we went straight to the shower (which she loves) to get lathered up with an aromatic herbal shampoo, followed by a red dog nap, only to
awaken and be totally energized once again! Oh if we could only absorb a fraction of their never ending energy.
