I have a 3 week break coming up and I want to do something with Axl. Actually, I'll have to do it with both dogs but it's mainly for Axl. I'm thinking of doing some tracking. I was going to do that before but I didn't for whatever reason - I really don't remember. But I think over this break I will. I have a bunch of stuff I want to do but I think I make time for some basic tracking. One thing that I got hung up on before was the whole setting up a track and having them follow it. I thought it had to be so regimented and structured, then one day in the backyard I just put both of them into a sit/stay, went a put some hotdog pieces on the ground where they weren't obvious - with both of them watching me - then told them to find it. It worked great. They had fun looking for hotdog pieces and I had fun just playing with my dogs. That's what I'm going to do, just make it fun in the beginning. Once they get good I'll make it harder. I think this will be big fun for them and me, plus they get to eat hotdogs - who doesn't like that??
Over this break I'm also going to move my computer/desk out of the bird room and repaint the bird room. I'm going to set up my office area in what is now the workout room, that will change when I sell my elliptical and stationary bike. Hopefully that will be soon and hopefully we won't need industrial bearings to get that elliptical out of the house - that thing weighs a ton and took 3 people to get in here. I just want to unload it, I never use it. What I really want is a treadmill but that's another story.....
