Spring Break with The Man of the House

Brandon has spring break this week... What that means for Daisy is naps on the couch all day and some supervised fun with toys.

Unfortunately Brandon broke his foot last week. It's definitely a bummer. Daisy still gets her walks when I come home for lunch, mornings, and after work. Walks and playtime are just more fun with the whole family!

Back to kicking back on our couch together!

Let's Practice

Let's Practice... that's the key words I use when we're going to practice our trained tricks.  Daisy has been doing pretty good with her learning.  I get her to find her "Dotty Dalmation" toy often, but sometimes she thinks I'm saying "Daddy" and goes to Brandon instead, haha.

I have a list of tricks and we've been progressing.  Here's what she's mastered so far:
  • Sit
  • Lay Down
  • Stay
  • Come
  • High Five (dance)
  • Roll-over  
  • "Find Daddy"
We're currently working on "Paw" or shaking hands.  She gets it sometimes, but I don't think she realizes that's what we asked for.  We have a couple fun ones ahead of us, let me know if you have any thoughts or suggestions!

WELCOME WEEKEND!!!

We are so glad the weekend's almost here!  Happy Friday!

The past few fridays have been such a tease.  We've taken a walk at lunch time and have so much sunshine to enjoy while we roam around the park.  It always gets me so excited and we begin planning our evening walk and exercise only to come home to cold nights.  Hopefully this evening after work won't be so disappointing.  We have Spring Ahead an hour this weekend too... There's hope!

Speaking of the weekend, we're going to our second Doggy MeetUp on Sunday.  Brandon's coming with this time and will see what fun it is! 

T-minus a 2.5hrs until the WEEKEND!!!

Strike a pose...She's a natural!

Too Funny!
We visited with my parents last weekend where my mom had her photo backdrop set-up for an appointment.  Daisy's been working on her sit & stays...  Of course we posed for a few snaps.  She's so photogenic! What a natural!  It didn't hurt that she just had a professional bath and trim the day before! 

When you click through the photos, you can see the slight adjustments in her posture.  Cute, pretty, and so modelesque!  Shoulders back and chin up.  Some of these really crack me up!
