You guys know about Niamh and Ambrose's train your dog contest, right?
We are in the workshop and we had dad help us out while mom snapped pictures!
Mitch and dad are practicing high five!
I can definitely get my paw higher than yours, Mitch! Are you watching how it's done?!
I've been to obedience class but it was wayyyyyyyyy back when I was much, much younger. Mitch has never been and sometimes he's very stubborn when you give him the "down" command!
Good boy, Mitch!Dad is asking us both to sit! His offering is a plump mini-marshmallow! That's definitely worthy of a sit!
This training stuff isn't so bad - especially when there are treats involved!
Don't forget to get your entries in, guys! The contest ends on the last day of this month!
Today is our gram's birthday!
This is a picture of our gram and our mom taken a long, long, LONG time ago!
Happy birthday, gram!
We love you!
So until next time.............
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
Happy Birthday to your Gram!!!
ReplyDeleteWe love the training pics... looks very enjoyable!! Our mom is really pleased with Hershey cos they took her to the doggie park yesterday and despite all the distraction around us, Hershey did her recall perfectly everytime without fail (our mom thought she'd never live to see this!!).
Wow you guys are pretty clever! Speaking of obedience class, I've only got one more lesson to go!!!

woah nice moves and we hope your gram had a very special day
ReplyDeleteFirst and Foremost. Very Most Important! Happy Birthday wishes to your Grams! We can tell she is a beautiful and proud lady ... and how lucky to have you as family!
ReplyDeleteMoma has lots of pictures like the one you posted ... with our Gramma and her kids in front of pretty flowers. Aren't they great memories?
Now. As for the training. We noticed. Mitch. Your eye is always on the treat. Maggie. You eye is always locked right in on your daddy's. (Very sweetly, we must say.) Hmmm. What does that say about you two? (We think we can learn from this.)
Love to you both. And to your Grams.
Jake and Fergi xxoo
Well of course if we had MINI MARSHMELLOWS we would do the trick as well!! WE are so happy you like your new diet!! It looks REALLY GOOD!! A million kisses A+A

ReplyDeleteLcve love love love love LOVE the picture of your mom and Gram!!!! And the flowers in the background are gorgeous, too. I can see why your mom likes flowers today --- she grew up with them!
ReplyDeleteI like the mini marshmellow idea, too.
You 2 are certainly doing a great job.. Callie needs to work on her down too. She never went to that class either.. Perhaps we need to schedule one for her..
