The past week has been relatively uneventful. The beginning of the week saw lots of rain and boy, does Maja not like the rain. She is showing signs of being very stubborn and refused to go out to the garden for the toilet, to the extent that we had to carry her out and stand around until she went. Her toilet training definitely took a backward step and her love of the nice, warm Aga shot up!
Tuesday saw as at ringcraft - not the best performance! She found it difficult to stand for any length of time and when she didn't want to run she sat. A bit of work to be done in that area. I was dreading puppy class on Thursday night, but wearing her new coat, not the best example of stitch work but serving the purpose, she was remarkably good and very cosy. No photo of her with coat on but will take one soon.
Towards the end of the week the weather improved and we went on two of our favourite walks, one along the river and the other up the hill from the house.. There were tadpoles in the ditches and the primroses were out on the banks. Maja loved the walks and was constantly charging off amongst the trees. One thing she is still very good at is coming back when called. I have started using the whistle and she is responding well. Long may it last!
There was also a deer to chase - it crossed the path in front of us so off they went, not that they were ever going to catch it
And there is still snow on the mountains but the views were spectacular
back home it was time to rest and play!
Finally today, Sunday, we went to a local dog show. Obviously not to compete but just as a social event. Disappointingly it was inside but we had a wander around and she was pretty good. Slightly hesitant to start with but soon settled and had a good look around. All good experience
