Wet!

When you live in California experiencing winter is like giving birth*; you suffer a great deal during the week or so that it lasts, but as soon as it's over you see the sun and forget what a horrible experience it was.  Until the next winter brings all the memories tumbling back.

This winter I feel like octomom.  We have a series of storms coming through that has essentially put a stop to all dog training (yet somehow I still have to work!  It just doesn't seem fair.)  I can't even let my dogs out in the back yard to potty because it's so wet and muddy.

During a moment of relative calm I managed to get the dogs out for a practice.  I was pretty happy with Rammy's dogwalks.  We only did 4 because they were going so well I didn't want to risk getting a bad one. 

You can see the what the strong winds did to the poor jumps in the video.

Wasn't so happy with our a-frames today.  Rammy, can't you put in ONE more stride?  Sheesh!

We also do some trick training in the few weeks of winter we have in California (which is the only time I do it and why I'm not very good at it.)  Rammy and Icon demonstrate holding a piece of PVC pipe.

*So I've heard.  I've never actually given birth myself.
