Nash

Meet Nash my new foster...

He Passed!!

This is my proud Ditto getting his graduation hat from our trainer Crystal. He passed his Canine Good Citizen exam last night after months of training and preparation. The exam is a pretty big deal and it's great that he passed. He had to pass 10 different tasks, including heeling, sit and stay, come, accept a stranger, sit politely when being petted, stand while being groomed, no reactions to distractions, and sit politely when meeting another dog. He doesn't do so well with meeting other dogs because he wants to meet them so bad, but he did really well last night. Now he is certified to be off leash in places like Phoenix if I so desire. Good job Ditto!

Bike Update

I tested out my new bike this past weekend. What a SWEET ride! It absorbs most of the small bumps and rides like a dream. I guess it was worth the money!

New Foster Cat...

I got a new foster cat yesterday. He's a 3 year old, 12 pound, linx point siamese. He came to me because he has an injured front leg that needs to heal. It doesn't look all that bad and I'll only have him for 2 weeks. He doesn't have a name yet but I'm working on it. He's very vocal like most siamese too! I'll post a picture as soon as my phone cooperates...

Funny Side Note: when I got to the Humane Society to pick him up, there was a homeless woman up near the front door and just as I pulled in, she dropped her drawers and pee'd all over the front entrance. I guess she was there to steal some of the donated cat/dog food because once she was done doing her business, she grabbed a bag of food and waddled off pulling up her pants. I-I-I !
