the loves of my life

Well brittany did go to obedience school- three times!!! Not because she didn't learn- we actually liked it and had fun.she graduated top of her class and was often used to demonstrate things in class.well, let's talk about home!At home it is a different story.She has a mind of her own and obeys when she pleases!One thing she has down pat is the commands "sit" and "down".There is a squirrel who resides in the tree in the front yard and this tree happens to be right in front of the living room window where he can be seen by the dogs.I have named this squirrel- I call him Fred.Actually Brittany knows who I am talking about- when I mention Fred- she will look out the window.Well fred sits in that tree and taunts the dogs causing them to bark.One day I was trying to get /brittany to shut up barking so I said "Brittany, down" and she automatically laid down and shut up!That works most of the time when she barks.We went walking in the park one day and all of a sudden Brittany darts off with me on the other end of the leash!Well guess what- Fred had followed us to the park!She was taking off after a squirrel.Probably one of Fred's relatives!!!
