Books
Books by John Irving, John Michener, Ayn Rand, Kurt Vonnegut, and Charles Dickens. Lately I've been reading all of Laurien Berenson's books, which are light murder mysterys always based around dog shows.
TIME TO GET A LIFE!
Scarlet, having fun with it, so why not take it further? Thus began my new life in the dog obedience competition world. Pems are not the most obedient critters, they are VERY independant and training her has been a real challenge. Missing how responsive my sadly lost past German Shepherd had been, I decided to get a new one. After 8 months of research and searching, I purchased my German Working-blood-line GSD, "Echo Meadows Silver Ezekiel" or "Zeke" for short. He has added so much to my life, I decided to double the fun and purchased his step-sis, "Echo Meadows Gayla," or "Gayla" for short. They have the same Mom, but different Dads. Although gorgeous and VERY correct, I had Gayla spayed. Zeke will stay intact.
The kennel I purchased Zeke and Gayla from has closed due to divorce.
UPDATES: Zeke's step-sister, "Gayla," is now a part of our family. More to come on this "Uppity Mercat-looking Princess."
ZEKE GOT HIS BH!!! It wasn't pretty but we got it at my previous clubs trial 10/27/07, whew! ZEKE GOT A SECOND BH We went for it again, for good practice and did better this second time at our previous club's Spring Trial 5-31-08. We are now training for his Schutzhund I and his AKC CDX. WE GOT THE AKC CD!
We got his last 2 legs at the Rose City Classic, here in Portland Jan. 18 & 21. We also took advantage of the Eye and Heart Clinic a the show and he checked out great on both of these, too. Since Zeke just turned 2yrs, I got him xrayed with good results. OFA: Hips "Good," Elbows "Normal."

Who I'd like to meet: Other women competing in dog obedience and Schutzhund.
Some of my friends may seem controversial, but don't let the language fool ya.
Same old same old for me, classes, practicing and dog stuff lol. The helpers at the club and I decided that it would be best for Emma not to do bite work anymore, she gets too stressed out and takes it too seriously, and i worked so hard on getting her to be less shy and having the helper out there provoking her defensive drive isn't helping that. So I'm down to just obedience and tracking lol
It sure has been awhile, how has your training been going? As you probably know, I'm not in that schH group anymore since mine Isa's focus has changed but once I get my next dog, I'll think about rejoining a club. Oh yea, this picture is long over due, I took this photo for my SR project last year and I forgot to give it to you. It's on my LJ called Zekie. XD http://mjbgsd. deviantart. com/
