The test was on Saturday, the 12th, and we didn't pass, literally by an inch.
It was on the neutral dog part. They said that Sox didn't try to get to the other dog, but her head is so big that when she turned it to look at the dog, it just barely crossed the midline of my body, but...

I took Sox and Spice to Petsmart tonight just to visit and have fun.
Spice peed outside and she and Sox were having a good time visiting with the people outside (I swear it took us 10 minutes to get through the doors - lol).
We finally...

We live across the street from the baseball field of one of the colleges. They were shooting off fireworks just a few minutes ago. I said,"Oh cool! Sox, wanna go see the fireworks?" You know she's a go-with kinda gal, so she looked at me, smiled and wagged her tail. So...

Sox and I went out for an evening walk. I wasn't planning on going far so we ended up walking down to the strip mall just down the street. The folks at the laundromat had posted that they had clothes to give away. I'm always up for free - lol!
When we were in the...

We had a busy but really nice day today.
We went to Petsmart as usual and practiced us walking up to and by the other
dogs without Sox "breaking" across me (she cannot cross the middle line of
my body trying to get to or sniff the other dog). There were a LOT of dogs
there today -...

We just got back from our morning walk. It's SO beautiful outside and Sox now walks with me in such a wonderful way. We're getting to that point that Cesar talks about - when you're walking with a dog it should feel like you're not walking with a dog :)
We went a...

Today I noticed that Sox seems to respond to me faster if I speak to her in a lighter tone of voice. When we were working at Petsmart tonight she was very focused on me and her whole body language was that of relaxation and happiness, even though we were "working".
I was also reminded that Sox is...

I have been blessed to get to take the Delta Society's class on becoming a Pet Partner team! This is awesome!
The classes run through May, then the evaluation for both Sox and me is in June. When we pass, we will be registered as a therapy dog team!

We went off leash the whole way, even by the "dog gauntlet" - lol. I noticed
that when we walked by those yards, she didn't miss a beat, even though they
were running and barking. She stayed right by my side and her ears were back
- not up! Good girl!
I also noticed that she is VERY in...

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is intensifying its evaluation of spot-on pesticide products for flea and tick control due to recent increases in the number of reported adverse reactions in pets treated with these products. Adverse reactions reported range from mild effects such as...
