    we're off to Finn's 1st class! :)

    Chris and I went last Thursday to meet the teacher and the other students. In about an hour, we'll be heading out for Finn's first class! Wish us luck!


    Thanks, Dogz!

    Good luck, Finn. Bet you're the smartest dog in the class.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Today was a lot of fun! We met all the other dogs, and, Finn is the youngest. The smallest, though, is Sparky, a rat terrier. There's Bruiser and then a mix breed that I can't remember his name! He's really cool looking, though. We are going to be working more on the sitting by our side thing, and, also not "fronting" us (which is just carrying out commands directly in front of us, instead of to one side). We learned a technique she calls "floppy dog" that will help to calm Finn down when he's too rambunctious. He and Chris did really well. It's basically just massage/handling and he fell asleep! Everyone, of course, loved him. I suck, though, because I forgot to take the digital camera. I'll take some photos of Chris and I working with him over the next week.


    Thanks, Dogz!

    Yeah, I know, I was so mad at myself for forgetting the camera. And, next week, I'll still be out of town. We'll have to wait til his third class to get photos.


    Thanks, Dogz!

    Yeah, he's doing really well, too. He still won't go down the stairs, though! Anyway, I'm going out of town tomorrow, so, Chris will be taking Finn on his own to the class. I'll be back next Saturday, though. Maybe I can get Chris to post something about how Finn does in class #2.


    Thanks, Dogz!
