Where has the time gone? Out in the park today I stopped and stroked a GSD pup about 5/6 months old (a couple of months younger than Tess) and his owner said "You are lucky your two are well behaved."
     I almost laughed then I looked down at my two who were both off lead waiting for me. Sal was laying down head on paws eyes on me. Tess was sitting at attention waiting for "life" as she knows it to continue. But at least she had all four feet on the floor - not trying to kiss everyone. Both of them were just waiting for me, to let them 'Go on'
     When I looked at them I just replied "Yes I am lucky" And all the hours of hard work/training paid off, there and then because of one compliment.
     As I walked away I realized up until recently my two must have thought the world consisted of two sentences;
     "No. Leave it" and "Oi. Get down."
     Times they are a changing because now they are Good girls - mostly. ;)  

lol...........  we are at the beginning of that journey.  Cassie, our 10 week old SBT is a pest.  devil puppy !  lol.       Im sure she thinks her name is DOWN, or NO.............  she has some recall (when she can be bothered and there is food about) and last night, oh joy of joy, she learnt to SIT on command.   Got up this morning, had a mad 10minutes, her normal biting moments, in the middle of which I told her to SIT..............straight down, no fuss............  then she looked at me all big eyed, "wheres my treat then".......... lol......brough a MASSIVE smile to my face...........
