What a week

So it's been a week since my last post. It has been a very hectic, tiring week. We are haing Dog Show's here locally so I have spent a lot of time helping my sister get her Standard Poodle ready for the dog shows. Wednesday I bathed her for Jen and it took 3 hours to bathe, and hand dry her. I've been coming home from work so exhausted it's all I can do to make dinner and walk the dog and go to bed. So I apologize for being an absentee blogger. I promise to do better :) We still have 2 more days of dog shows. I am loving having a big dog, I am actually becoming more active, and even though it's TOM I only have gained less than 2# which is a nice change for me. My new dog, Shellie needs a lot of training and work, so I am spending quite a bit with her trying to 'shape' her into a 'great' dog. She's still very puppyish and mischievious. And boy can she pull me hard! This morning she got so excited about sprinklers she pulled me on the ground so I ended up scraping my elbow/arm and knees pretty good. So that's something I have to work on.
