Back to School...

OMdog, OMdog, OMdog!!! I'm so excited!!! You pups just don't know how excited I am!!! Do you know what I did last night? Do you? Can you guess? I WENT BACK TO SCHOOL!!!! Yay!!! Whoot!!!

I know, I know some pups don't like school, but I LOVE IT!!!! I love my teacher Miss Cindy, I love the toys and I love the dogs! My Mom surprised me last night by going to a refresher course! Yipee!!!

I thought for sure after the 'bed' incident at lunch that she was going to drop me off at the pound or something, but no...we went to school!!! Yay!!! Whoot!!!

So first off we got to play when we got there. I got to play with a beagle named Bella, a corgi named Fergie and a Jack Russell, named, oh I can't remember his name. There was also a puggy girl and I thought OMdog...it's my BFF Suki...but I quickly realized it wasn't because she had a collar and I know Suki lost her collar. The puggy's name was Zoya and she was fun to chase. Yipee!!!

So after playtime we started class. In class this week there were 2 other dogs...a fluffy dog that looked like Bella only he was a boy named Shakey and my old friend from another class Izzie who is a Tibetian terrier and really liked to bark. Since it was a refresher class we worked on Sit-Stays, Down-Stays, Come and Heel. I did great with everything but Heels. For some reason I just don't like to do Heels...they bug me...why can't I just walk they way I want to and not pay attention to Mom all the time. Geezzee!

So it was fun, fun, fun and what's more is I get to go back for 5 more weeks!!! Yipee!!! Hopefully Mom will take some pictures next time. She said it was too hard to work with me and take pictures at the same time...clearly she's in need of some training! Anyhowl...gotta go practice my Heels!!! Have a great weekend!

Note From Michele, Ruby's Mom:
I'm so fortunate, our trainer Cindy at The Right Steps is the absolute best and when she has extra room in class she always thinks of me and Ruby. The last class we took was back in February, so it was so interesting to see how she got right back into training mode. I work with her a lot, but not as much as I should so this is a nice refresher for both of us. The greatest thing to see is how nicely she plays with all the other dogs, especially the puppies. She was the oldest dog there at 13months and she really did great! I wouldn't go so far as to say she was calm (Ha!), but she was definitely a little calmer! We'll keep you posted on our progress.
