To.. hump day!

Whoo hoo..FINALLY WEDNESDAY! This week has been seriously dragging.

The rest of the week should be great from now on.. small group tonight, ice cream tomorrow night then Friday night with Dan!
Dan and I have started a little thing on Thursday night where we walk the dogs to DQ or Marble Slab (maybe even A&W for root beer floats!) and split some ice cream. This way we can eat ice cream every week and it wont be THAT bad for us since we are splitting it and walking to get there. lol Brillant idea! haha. Also spend time together.. :)

Last night was nice.. after dinner me and Dan went to the park to play frisbee with the dogs. Well only Suki.. Leia is lazy when it comes to playing lol..
Another dog came into the park and Leia growled and snapped at him then walked away. Luckily he was a nice dog and just looked at her like she was crazy and didnt do anything.. phew! I really need Ceaser Milan to come over and train my dogs!! Leia is so terrible when she first greets a dog. However once she gets over that, shes completely fine. Its so dumb. Im just afraid that one dog will have the same personality as her and they will fight and Leia will get injured. I have been thinking a lot about how Im going to change and teach Leia to act right... And this is what Im going to do -- Im going to use Suki as bait lol. If I have Suki put her face in Leias and correct Leia everytime she growls or snaps then one of these days she will just get used to it and get tired of it. I hope!

This is kinda the same approach I need to use when it comes to Suki's bad behavior. Suki is a golden retriever so shes very easily to train.. she loooooves to please and really will do anything to make us happy. However.. she does have one big problem, otherwise she would be perfect... (lol riiight). When someone comes in the door, she wants to be ON them.. she wants to lick them, tackle them, touch them.. whatever. Shes crazy! Seriously, nothing you can do to tell her to stop, she cant hear you cuz shes so freakin excited. So.. Dans mom suggested that she would come over and just come in and out for like an hour or whatever until Suki wasnt interested anymore. She thinks that once we do it enough it wont be anything special and she will be over it. So I thought that was really good advice. I really need to do it because Ive gotten to that point where it really drives me crazy. And the thing that sucks about it is really the first 10 minutes. After she goes all crazy on you, shes fine. lol

I hope that kids are easier to train than dogs! haha JUST KIDDING! :)
