Alfie, Level II

I had these pictures on my camera since Alfie’s last day at Level 1 Obedience training. This was our exam, and here I am telling him the “sit stay” command. He was doing so well! On the down-stay, he got up twice in the four minutes. Argh.

I swear my neck isn’t always that pulled forward. Or is it? :(

This is the FOCUS command:

I love how he’s looking right up at me :)

(My new favorite picture of him. I think it’s because of his crazy hair do)

Alfie has a head halter on when he goes out for walks (only if he barks, it goes on immediately), and when he attends classes. The only thing that really bothers me about Alfie, is his barking. It’s uncontrollable right now. But hopefully with the help of the head halter, it will stop.

Here’s the French Bulldog I was talking about before (see last paragraph). The one that makes all the owners in the class break out into laughter due to his noises and silly demeanor.

Hi Stuart!

This is actually Stuart in his sit stay command. The boy ended up taking these pictures (obviously). The owners had this one down pat ;) He always falls asleep!! ROFL!!!

Next class starts up on Thursday. Eeks!

And lastly, Jen is giving away some Dove deodorant over at her site. Comment to win, you have until Thursday! :)

I enjoy running!

On Thursday we (the “Learn to Run” class at the gym/outdoors) ran a whole 4.5k! Thankfully our instructor didn’t up the running times in regards to the walking. I almost died when I had to run 3 minutes, and walk for 1 minute. Three quarters towards the end of my run I felt like giving up. Thankfully running in a group will help you not give up and just keep on going.

Thursday, we did the runs at 3 minutes on, 2 minutes off. Hehhh-vin! It was fabulous. By the end of it I told my new friend (yay for new running friends!) “Let’s run all the way back to the gym” so it was more like a 4 minute run.

I really do enjoy running, especially when other people make it pleasant and you actually can’t wait to run with them again. A few of us have the same stamina and want to quit at different times, except we’re both competitive and want to beat the people ahead of us, yet when one or the other wants to stop we’re like “Yeah. I’m dead. But we can’t stop!” I enjoy running! (And I totally want to get that shirt)

Anyway uh. I’m off to go relax (think about designing some birth announcements for friends) and admire my new pedi/mani! :)

OPI – Make Love

OPI – That’s Hot! Pink

My fingernail cuticles are SO nice now. They were so dry, cracked and nasty before. Also, yes it’s the same color on my toes as last time. When I find a good color I like, I stick with it for a while.

Have a great Saturday!!
