Bad Mommy and Daddy

I told everyone that I would post a message chastizing Eric and I for our misdeeds. We were soooooo bad today! At the end of obedience class tonight we put the dogs in a down stay and walked about 100 feet away. When our friends Michelle and Robert walked up to recall their dogs, Eric and I said simultaneously, "Our dogs our going to get up."

I won't make excuses like "Michelle and Robert sound like us" or "Layla and Laika sound alike." We simply just did not trust our dogs. Bad, bad mommy and daddy.

What did Louie and Laika do when Michelle and Robert called their dogs? STAYED RIGHT THERE!!! I've never been so ashamed and so proud in my whole friggin' life. Martin got on us and we deserved every bit of it. We work hard with our dogs and they work hard with us and we shouldn't be surprised at their progress. We love you Rudy Roo and Shaka Baka!

We'll never doubt again. Never. Promise.

Peace.

Isn't it great that first time that your dogs proceed to completely prove you wrong in this training? Those little breakthroughs always more than make up for the months it took to get there...! YAY - Score for team Husky!!

You all are very sweet. I think it was a victory for everyone...huskies, handlers, the trainer and assistant trainers. Thanks!
See ya Saturday :)
