June is certainly flying by fast. The dogs and I have been busy doing long walks in the woods 1-2 times per week. It's great exercise and wonderful scenery, but it really exposes the dogs to ticks. Zoe already tested positive for two tick-born illnesses. Luckily, we caught it really early and a round of meds should clear her up in no time. We've also been busy dog-sitting, which has been great for socializing Breeze.
Speaking of Breeze, she has been really fun to work with. She's a quick learner, very eager to please, and has fantastic food and toy drive. She also seems to have quite the knack for frisbees too. I never thought about competing in disc, but I just might have to with her potential. She loves to tug, loves to bring the disc back, and is already doing some low catches. I can't wait to see what she can do once she can start jumping! She and Zoe are still getting along great. She's got so much more confidence than Zoe, but overall seems like a happy pup. Not too neurotic or herdy, so that is very good. They make a pretty good pair - the attached pic is them going to Chad's softball game.
Even though we don't have another trial until July, Zoe and I continue to train weekly. Her motivation is really coming along well and is doing so well in class. She also seems to be over her contact fear, which is so encouraging. Hopefully the weather will start being cooperative and we can have more practices outside.
