Toy Box

 
Zoe-In-The-Box
My new studio in a bag arrived and I had some fun with the dogs.  I hauled out the toy box, opened it and invited the girls to explore.  After trying to remove (and perhaps seriously hurt) each of the stuffies, Zoe decided to get in the box with them.  Asked her to sit and we got Zoe-In-A-Box.  She kept popping up and down, trying to get the stuffy I strategically placed at her feet.  Was fun.  Next up..........
 
Sassy-ala-ET
Sassy was very quick to get in the box, following Zoes example but she wanted to lay down and hide.  So I put the toys around the edge of the box and she had to sit up to see out.  This remined me of the scene from ET where he's hiding in the closet full of stuffies. 

 
Where's the Baby
When Sassy first joined our little family, at 12 weeks of age, she got called "The Baby" until she put an end to that by sassing me back one day.  Anyway, Zoe will look for "The Baby" when asked and she's doing that here.  Sassy is looking at me like I'm blind "can't I see her right here!!".

Surf'n Sassy

 
Sassy's Picks
This week after a very successful obedience class on Wednesday evening and another on Thursday morning Sassy was wondering why the clicker seems to work so well.  

So she went surf'n and found these interesting places:
Here was an article about clickers and why they work.  A little dry but very informative.
Then she found these fun and interesting videos.  She's thinking of trying some of them!
And finally, though this is not clicker training it's still very interesting. Sassy's only question here was: How do you stifle a stifle?  Just a little doggy humour, very little!!
