So, on Sunday, February 13th, 2011, Rick proposed to me on the Tide Pools of Cabrillo State Park, south of San Diego. You actually get a text message from your cell phone service provider that you are in Mexico!
It was very romantic, and we've already decided that Kibeth and JoJo will be our ring bearers. Sorry for no video posts on their training. Rick has been too busy to do the video, and I just cannot do it by myself very well at all.

Away from hounds (Away from home ;-)
Rick got me a great anniversary present... a trip home to visit my family and friends in Michigan. I'm there now, and I am trusting him with the care of my beloved hounds. We'll see how it goes!
Last night, JoJo slipped out of her collar on their midnight walk. Scary! All is well, however.

Hiatus
Well, hello. I've been away for a while due to a drastic change in my life. A guy I met who was my freshman year of college roommate's fiance finally broke up with her, and we've gotten together! Ricky lives in CA, though, and this long-distance thing is very hard for both of us. Now that things are settling down, I hope to come back to the intensive dog training scheme I'd been planning on.
The girls will do lots of obedience work, and learn a few tricks. Kibeth loves to fetch her pink ball outside and her tugger inside, and we're getting some great retrieves and even a few "drop it"s. JoJo has discovered the wonderful world of stuffies, and plays outside like a maniac with her pheasant. My hope is to use these fun activities in our training everyday. I also want them to learn lots of tricks to make them welcome house guests if/when we move out to CA to live with Ricky and his Mom (just until he and I can afford our own place).
Our walks have been dampened (and pretty much haulted) by the heat/humidity. Neither dog appreciates a very long walk in the hot and humid summers here in MI. I will try to make evening walks, when it's cooled off a bit, more of a routine in our schedule. There's no hope of me getting up early when my boyfriend is 3 hours behind, and we usually talk until midnight his time.
My friend's pit bull, Howie, is the first APBT to get his lure coursing title. Anyone have any experience lure coursing greyhounds? I'm tempted to give it a try...
