Sunday Stills

I decided I was going to get back into doing Sunday Stills again because I love the challenge and it forces me to get out and take pictures. However this week the challenge was pictures of the blogger, so my husband took these for me. :) I decided to get new ones because I've already posted all of the others I've taken on the blog. Enjoy!

The color was really bad on this one so I decided to do it in black and white. :)

My hair may not have been cooperating, but the wind was hehe.

Chrome was being a pest, but he didn't bite down lol. He was just curious about my jacket.

Yay, ears forward! Good boy Chrome!

Aww Chrome is hugging me back. :-D

Husband is getting better with the camera.

Giving Chrome kisses.

I was giving Chrome a kiss and he grabbed my hair and I smiled. I look goofy!

One more kiss.

Feeding a treat to Led Zeppelin, the donkey I rescued as an untouched three year old. No comments about my tacky muck boots lol.

He's getting much better about me touching his face . . .

. . . but he still doesn't really like it. :D

To see more Sunday Stills go here. It's fun seeing everyone's pictures because in general we photographers don't like having our pictures taken lol. That's why we're the ones always taking them. :D

Time To Crawl!

The winner in the poll is crawl! This is one I tried to teach Storm when she was younger, but before I knew anything about clicker training so I was unsuccessful. My timing was probably all wrong. Hopefully I've improved to the point where I can teach it to Jackal. I'm not going to teach it to Storm because she's nine now and I don't want to stress her joints or anything. She already prefers not to lay on hard floors and she never liked roll over even as a young dog.

My question now is how to get the handy dandy little foot warmer off the couch so we can start training . . . oh yeah, food! ;D

He's so cute. He never even woke up the entire time my husband took these pictures. :) Love my puppy. I will keep you updated on our progress and I will try to record more video footage this time so you can see the progression. :)

Quick Note

Thank you everyone for your comments on my post about Chrome's lameness. I commented with an update, but thought I would put it here too in case you miss it. This morning when I walked to the barn with Chrome he was walking evenly on both rear legs with a perfect one inch overstep. I'm thinking he either slipped or is having growing pains. Either way I'm still asking my trimmer about it, getting more video and getting the info for the chiropractor.

Also I just read on Denali's blog that she's showing some improvement. I really hope this is truly a miracle and that she continues to heal. She was supposed to have been euthanized today but the truck was delayed due to snow. Maybe it's a sign and not just a coincidence. Please keep her in your prayers. Maybe with all of our collective prayers and good wishes she can make a miraculous recovery and stay with her heartbroken mom. Thanks guys.

Oh and I also changed my blog. I was getting tired of the autumn look and decided to just go full blown winter theme. If you can't beat them you might as well join them! I think it turned out pretty nice. :)
