Bored Sidney...

Sidney cut the pad on one of her front feet a few days ago (not sure how!)...She started out a little pathetic, now day 3 of not going anywhere and she's driving me nuts!!



She repeatedly brings me her leash, when i put it back-I get it again! Then the "talking" begins..She thinks i am not understanding what she wants--but i do!!...We tried working on her tricks, tried heeling in the front yard, tried getting her to play with the puppy, i tried explaining to her that she has obedience class tomorrow so she needs to heal her paw...Nothing is making the princess happy! She wants to WALK!.

Sidney Sidney..

Sid has been quite bored since i have been home on sick leave..she makes sure I know it by "talking" to me whenever she feels like she has not had enough training..This dog LIVES to learn new things and loves to go grab her leash and show it to you so you will train her..Walks are "ok" and she recently discovered she likes to run off lead at the baseball field, but training is her love in life!


Last time we counted she knew almost 100 words...I'll have to think on that again..The dog picks up words WAY too fast...We recently taught her to grab us a kleenex when we sneeze--its a work in progress as the kleenex doesn't always make it all the way to you...however, the other day my mom was over and SIDNEY sneezed--i told her "god bless you" and she grabbed herself a kleenex....pretty entertaining..We had just been making a sneezing sound to cue her to get the kleenex, but apparently she learned 'god bless you'...

She pretty much rules the humans in this house, however, her sisters Claudi and Moxie beat her up every chance they get! ;-)

My foster puppies for the past 2 weeks got adopted on Saturday...I miss them...they were so dang cute!!
