Gigi passed her CGC (Canine Good Citizen) test this week! We have thoroughly enjoyed our CGC class these past 6 weeks. My oldest son, Wade, took my mom’s Lab, Isla, through training and they also passed their test. Proud mom!
Gigi earns her CGC!
Grassy Fields
Beautiful, albeit muddy, evening today, after several days of rain. The girls and I enjoyed a walk in the fields and woods behind the house.

Handling Seminar offered by CIKC
The Central Iowa Kennel Club is offering a handling seminar in Des Moines on May 21-22, 2016. This is a great learning opportunity, no matter if you have been showing for years or you are just looking to get started.
First Day of Spring Walk
I enjoyed a long walk on the first day of spring with the girls. Love these days we can take our nice long walks!
Stopped at the park and snapped a quick picture of the girls. Long walks with my pups is bliss for me. 🙂
As someone who regularly walks multiple dogs, I can’t tell you how frustrating it is to see loose dogs. I usually modify my route, to avoid, if I see a loose dog up ahead. It is not cool to have a dog rush me when I’m walking 300+ lbs of dog. I’ve been pretty lucky so far and typically can yell at the approaching dog with a stern, “NO! GO HOME!” and they seem to listen. <knock on wood> My dogs seem confident that I’ll deal with the situation and don’t get too riled up.
Gigi in stealth mode
The other night when we got to obedience class, Gigi had to drop down to super sneaky stealth mode in order to stalk her bestie (Isla, the Lab). I bet Isla never even saw her.
She cracks me up!

Dogs being dogs
Like any dog, mine love racing around, just to enjoy being alive. Makes me happy to see them happy!
Great Dane Meet Up Group
The Great Dane Club of Des Moines has formed a “Great Dane Meet Up Group“. We had our first event yesterday – a walk around Gray’s Lake in Des Moines. We had eleven Danes show up! Not bad for our first event. It was a fun time, getting to meet other Dane owners and causing quite the scene as we paraded around the park. The beautiful weather drew lots of people outside! Kizzy and Gigi both had a great time.
