My First Post
I can not believe I have created a blog. I who do not even have a debit card, or use the self-checkout at Kroger or Walmart (or anywhere else for that matter). Come to think of it, I don't have an i-phone or a picture phone, or much else that is cool or cutting edge. I didn't even have text messaging on my cell phone until last week. Actually I didn't even create this blog - Chris did. But I do have dogs. 5 + 1 foster = 6. Everyone is a rescue. This is Gus. He started as a temporary and morphed into a permanent. Gus has been to some obedience classes. He has his CGC, although sometimes his good citizenship is questionable. Gus begins agility class in a week. This picture was taken after he had apparently eaten Santa.
Well - I think it's great you have a blog!! I look forward to your posts! I'm trying to teach Mojo to sneeze on command......this could take a while...I will report back if we make progress.
The CGC = Canine Good Citizen. It is an AKC sponsored program. The CGC consists of 10 items or tests a dog must pass to obtain his CGC. Some of the things are loose leash walking, accepting a friendly stranger, walking through a crowd, sitting politely for petting, come when called, sit/down stay, etc. So for at least one day in his life Gus was able to do all of these things.
Your first comment. Thanks for putting this up. Now tell us what you really think.
