Sitting at my computer, looking through new Facebook message. All is peaceful. Then - A scream of agony! Coming from my yard! A dog in great distress!
Boys and pups were out in the dog yard when an earth shattering scream made my hair stand on end. Incredibly loud & shrill & frantic. Up & down the scale. Amazing that it can come from a dog. Sounds like a Wildebeest being torn apart by a pack of Lions. That's Argus. The Rabbit must be in the yard, and he can't get to it. There is NO WAY to quiet him when this happens.
He's back on his chair, and all is quiet again. He's only 99% perfect. Do wish he would not do this, but that's my boy. Such a good dog, and his quirks are normally easy to deal with.
We had ring time yesterday and worked hard for a solid half hour. This was the first time I've had his full attention for that long, and he worked really well. Our heeling is improving rapidly, really good change of pace yesterday, excellent corners, awesome about turns when I remember MY footwork. Sits could be better, that's going to be our bugaboo. Fronts continue to be excellent, finishes are much better. The things he did not know for his advanced class last week are looking good now. He's learning to back up (but does not like that exercise), pivot, signals are much better, and I can now step back and forth over him on a Down Stay. (He almost had a heart-attack when I tried that last week - apparently thought I had lost my mind and was going to step on him.)
Much fish work done this weekend and the tanks are looking really good. Need to dash down and turn a light on in the fishroom, so the Cherry Barbs think it's daylight. Am hoping they will spawn today.
