Sarcasm & Cynicism...served up by Single Grl

Life is full of stories and as they say the truth is stranger than fiction. Ask who knows me. I may speak softly, and I may look sweet. But under NO circumstances think for just one second that what you see is what you get. Because when you know me, know the real me you know that I'm anything but what you see. Most of the time. So read on my friends. And you will catch my gripping, views, sarcasm and dry of whit. Read on....I dare you.

Blaze the Wonder Pup GRADUATES Puppy School



Blaze graduated from Puppy school this past Saturday. The graduation cap was not my twisted idea of cuteness, but the instructors. Blaze had to perform several tasks without fault, which she did rather well, except for one. One task is loose leash walking, where there may be something distracting (such as goodies) on the floor, and Blaze had to walk past it without touching it. Well as we walked past, she stopped and snapped one up, much to mine and Sam (the trainer’s) dismay. SO being the ‘hard-ass’ that I am, I said to Blaze:

“You drop that right now. DROP IT….pleh….pleh.” She didn’t spit it out, but she relaxed her jaws for me to remove it from her mouth. Sam was amazed that Blaze allowed me to remove the treat from her mouth, stating that her own dogs would never have given it up like that. Then I informed her that Blaze and I would walk past these treats several times, which we did, both WITH Blaze ignoring the treats on the floor, and SAM CHUCKING treats at her.

And Blaze passed puppy school. She is a real dog. :-) We are all so proud of her.
But now what do I do with my Saturday mornings???

    Yay! Congratulations, Blaze!

    She really is a cutie. Good for you, two. I know you both worked very hard for this and endured MANY HEADACHES. I hope she knows she's a lucky pup. :)

    Thank you for the kind words, praise and well wishes. She just loves her Aunt Claire and 'The Boy'.

    For all the rocky spots Blaze and I went thru with training, it is forgotten when she gives me puppy kisses (although I think she ate one of my earrings off my ear last night.)
    I've been looking at my photos of her in my cube at work, from when we first got her and now...and can't believe how she's grown.

    LOL....I was not the one who owned the graduation cap. But I did want to take photos of her in it.
