Love all the pictures! Eva is a clever girl!
She is a delight… Clever and exceptionally sweet.

I did not take any pictures, but we went on a walk, then had a CGC class. We have our test in 3 weeks! 🤞
Good luck for your CGC test!

I’m also envious of all the snow photos. Today’s forecast here is for 37C (98.6F) and the possibility of severe storms with heavy rainfall.

Thank you! Our main issue is excitability with greetings and interactions, but improving slowly but surely. Often she does better in class than at home. Last week, she got excited when we practiced "approaching a friendly stranger" in class, but last night she was almost perfect. Hopefully with 3 more weeks of practice in and out of class, we'll pass!

We played with doing tricks! I have each one do a favorite or work on something new. It was actually interesting. Pilot isnt real into tricks. He has enough to get a TKI. Winx, on the other hand, absolutely loves tricks. Her favorite is “bang” (playing dead). Well I told Winx bang and pointed with my finger pew pew and she very dramatically played dead. I could see the wheels turning in Pilot‘s head, so I turned to him and said “bang”. Wheels still spinning…..he lays down! I figure he’s halfway to figuring it out. My older dog Roxanne does leg weaves. He sees this and wants to try too. Apparently, the secret to Pilot doing tricks is having him watch the other dogs get rewarded for them!

We also did a big long walk - half off leash, half on. And there was lots of rolling in snow and eating of snow! I regret that I didn't take photos (it was too cold to take my mitts off!).
It's about 25-30 degrees here and not that bad. Was wearing shorts and house shoes (but my ear muffs to protect my ears) while I let the dogs run today... but yesh, I wish my cell phone came with one of those old fashion squeezy things for taking pictures. I didn't have my walking gloves with since I was just running out for coffee (hence the shorts too). The rest of me was fine (plenty warm as long as my ears were covered) - but my hands took a long while to get warm and stop hurting even with the heated steering wheel! >.<
