Vazy has got a twin!

Mathieu found this picture today. It's almost EXACTLY like Vazy! Judge for yourselves, but I had to look close... I can't see any differences. Has someone used Vazy without us noticing?!! (Click on the image to look closer..)

Anyway. Went training with Kicki today. It went quite well. I did some other stuff with Vazy than obedience. She had to sit, down and back between my legs, and slalom between my legs when I was walking. Rolling around, and stuff. It was a long time since I did things like that, so Vazy thought it was super fun. Did some rolling and backing with Aila too. She's a bit confused..But it went well..

And I have to tell you about my secret weakness (or, maybe I shouldn't...).. It's when Aila's chasing animals. I get so angry! I can't help it... Today she's done it twice, and I know it doesn't help to get angry, and that she's not chasing for long and always coming back. But I just can't help myself. Then the poor thing comes and "begs for forgiveness"... argh! I have to get better at controlling myself (I'm quite ashamed I must admit!).. Me and Kicki are hopefully gonna start practicing not chasing animals.. Soon, I hope! Vazy is always amazing in that case nowdays (she used to chase rabbits too..), and she's staying! I really think she's close to perfect now!! She's only got two flaws, it's her "herding" of people she doesn't know, and that she's barking a bit when she's left alone (or with Aila).. But noone can be perfect (neither can I.....)..

So. Overall I'm pleased with our progress in obedience. And I really feel like training more often now when the weather is getting better! Lovely spring and summer! Finally the dogs can hang around with us when we're going for a beer or a bite to eat in town!

Have fun! (And can you see any difference between the dog in the photo and Vazy?)
