Canine Good Citizen and Therapy Dogs International

Hi Eve,
Happy 2009! Well, our little Bean started out the new year on the right paw. She passed both the CGC and TDI tests this morning!
We celebrated by having a play date with her boyfriend, formerly known as Biff...Biff, also formerly known as Gopher...has reached a handsome 83 lbs. and appears to still be growing which is wonderful! He has his first birthday next month.Today's high was 1 degree, so our playdates outside were short. They love a good game of Keep Away... Beanie isn't very good at sharing. But Ansel got into the game as well...can you see Paisle still has the kong in her mouth?It would seem here, that Marshal is chasing Ansel away. The chasing part is true enough, but more of the "catch me" type chasing...And had I not been there myself, I would have a hard time believing this next photo. Yes, Ansel, who is OVER 10 YRS OLDER THAN MARSHAL, managed to knock Big Boy over!Doesn't Ansel look spry? I am so proud of the Goofy Dog. Alas, neither boy was able to spring the kong from the Little Bean...And everyone headed for the door (she still has the kong).
Marshal did try one last scare tactic, to gain the kong from Paisle, but she was neither startled, nor impressed.Maybe next time, M!
