We had an excellent weave pole class on Thursday. Makin was great and although Lael and I have a long way to go in terms of being considered decent handlers I think we did a good job with Makin this week. I think we both did a better job at being upbeat and keeping her happy. We have to work a bit this week on not having the cages on the poles at the end of the set. Makin has an easier time with the beginning without the cages than the finish. Because the week had been very busy we had not practiced the poles as much as we would have liked. We will continue to practice the poles. We have one week left in the weave pole class but practicing them will be ongoing! Makin's next class is called "the five directions" in which Lael and I will hopefully learn to be better handlers.
On Saturday we went for a wonderful walk in the woods with a bunch of other v's and a lab that thinks she is a v! Tessa loves these walks but Makin is a little more hesitant with all of the craziness. We were out for almost 2 hours and the girls were zonked for the rest of the day.
The v with orange collar is a wonderfully sweet 72 pound v who is 11 months old. YIKES!
Makin looking sedate!
A bumper stuck in a tree with a sad v trying to free it. Only a bumper with quail scent would get that kind of attention!
The freeing of the bumper!
Tessa checking in!
And finally the all exciting news. Tessa passed her Canine Good Citizen test today. She is such a good little girl. Next step, her agility career!

Makin definitely seemed happy last Thursday (as did her handlers!). Great job.
The hike looks LOVELY!!!
Congrats Tessa!!!
CONGRATS to Tessa!
Oh what a grand walk that must have been.
Congratulations, Tessa! I hope you thanked the Academy, as well as your human parents, for your success!
72lbs of vizsla? zoiks, indeed. I feel pretty squished when our two 47lb'ers take their turns sitting on me. I bet that Lab was feeling small, too.
Well done for keeping them active + engaged.
