I really do feel good about working on my weight and sticking to things, because it really is a pain and I resisted it for a long time not wanting to have to go down that road and not wanting to risk feeling even worse about myself if I did not do well. <br />LOL, thanks Nat, the funny thing is Breeze is a ball obsessed girl and I have never been able to get her to tug but I am SOOOOOO HAPPY after three years I have her tugging, not all the time, only certain times and certain toys but we are working on it, but she hides that pretty well I think and looks like she always tugged! <br />Danielle Hey, I would not worry about Indy...I think at his age that focusing on other dogs is a hard one, but seems pretty age appropriate and along with the work you are doing....he will be FINE. Cricket went through that too..Kathy Mocharnukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029142726866533193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519030820892488520.post-51152513862368910572010-08-05T10:10:33.863-07:002010-08-05T10:10:33.863-07:00Big congrats on losing those 25 pounds!

I guess, oreo and I will be doing our challenge in our oven. LOL. <br /><br />Great job on the recalls.<br /><br />Poor Breeze. I hope she just needs a bit more tweaking from the vet. I know when Oreo hurt his knee, his entire body, even his TAIL, was all out of whack, and it took a few weeks of adjustments to get it right, because he was using the rest of his body to compensate.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07715453703592474992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519030820892488520.post-28162718472060543562010-08-04T21:22:49.115-07:002010-08-04T21:22:49.115-07:0025 lbs is awesome Kathy!

All the dogs did a really nice job at the new place. 103 degrees! Good grief!<br /><br />As for Breeze, I hope you figure out what is going on soon. I hope you and Diana are wrong about the blue dogs.

My goodness, it looks like you got your workout running back and forth to practice all those recalls! Nothing like our pups to keep us moving!<br /><br />I like Ricky's challenge.

You definitely get more points for doing recalls when it was 103!! That alone would be a huge challenge for me! The dogs did so well and we're really proud of you for getting out there to try it in a new location! <br /><br />Hope Breeze continues to feel better - poor girl. I too hope there is an end to all of her physical issues.

It's really stretching my knowledge and patience. Indy has decided, in the last 2 weeks, that he wants to focus on our other dog much more than focus on me...no matter what toy I have. So we working on increasing his drive for tugs, balls, and food so that he will get more excited to be with me. This is really pushing me outside the training box...and teaching me not to get discourage or take it personal when he suddenly decides that other things are more important than playing with me.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05507935352484128273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-519030820892488520.post-74531254857779080692010-08-04T14:49:55.103-07:002010-08-04T14:49:55.103-07:00Woohoo!
