New toy and a play date

Today was a busy day for Wesha. In the morning I took her to a dog shop in Schaffhausen. It wasn't that special for her at first because she had to wait in the car while I did some shopping. However... the owner of the shop has 2 dogs and after I finished shopping, we let the dogs play on a field right next to the shop. Wesha enjoyed running and playing with a Malinois and a labrador.

Wesha's new toy:



In the afternoon Wesha had a play date with Nituna. I hadn't seen Nituna for a long time. She is so cute! And her temperament matches that of Wesha. While Cordula and I walked, Nituna and Wesha played and ran together. It was so much fun. Although Nituna and Wesha look different (Wesha is bigger and lighter of colour than Nituna), it was still hard to keep them apart sometimes. Especially since they were wearing the same harness.:D

Here are some pics:




We tried to call our dogs to us. And while Nituna came to me, sat down and looked up at me nicely... (isn't she a beauty?!)

... Wesha was doing the same, but with Cordula! :D We sure had a good laugh about that.

And then Cordula managed to get the undivided attention of both Wesha and Nituna:

Back to school

Waiting for the course to start:

Wesha went back to school again today. Not with me, but with Tina. They went to the "Young & Dog" course of the same trainer that we went to last Friday. There was only 1 other girl with her dog in the course. The beginning was a bit difficult, because Wesha had just so much energy. She pulled Tina upside down once! But after a while it went better and Wesha was concentrating nicely. Tina was doing really well and she enjoyed being "the boss" for once. She will go to this course every Wednesday afternoon from now on.

Yesterday, we finally saw some sun again. That was the first time in 2009! Wesha enjoyed it along the Rhine.

New school

Last Friday, I took Wesha to a new dog school. We haven't been training in a group anymore since she finished the "young dog course", a long time ago. I really want Wesha to listen better, and I had called various trainers and dog schools, but they were either fully booked or they would start a new course mid February.

This new school is run by 2 young women. They only started the school in November last year and therefore their groups are still very small. They also have a "Teen & dog" course, Tina will go there on Wednesday for the first time.

I am glad that we have finally started to train again. I still have a lot to learn and so does Wesha.

More kisses

During a kiss attack on Reto:

When I called her name:

Oh yammie.... Reto's nose tastes good!

Wesha loves oma

First time on oma's lap:

Huge kiss attack:

My parents have been staying with us for a couple of days and as you can see, Wesha loves my mum ("oma" for our kids). And luckily, my mum loves Wesha too. Wesha also loves opa (my dad) and I think that is mutual too. But oma was sitting in "Wesha's" chair and therefore, Wesha was on her lap. :D

To be honest, I think Wesha loves all people... I have never seen her insecure with or afraid of people. But I am still glad that there was a definite "click" between my mum and Wesha.

Totally relaxed:

The last pics from 2008

Wesha wanted to do some karaoke too

So I finally gave her what she wanted

When Reto and I are kissing, she always wants to join in

During our New Year's Eve walk (before midnight), we finally took a picture of all 5 of us. This is the first one since we have Wesha!!
