[nagdu] I'm back

[Snow White Dove]

That's so funny that you say that.

My Snow White Dove is a part of a hymn tht I used to hear when I was little.

I'm thrilled, it's interesting that my beaver dog turns into such a fine guide.

I'm gonna try him without the chest pad either some time today or tomorrow.  

I feel kind of guilty cause I didn't work him yesterday cause I was ill.  Then last night I was up being sick again.  So I don't really feel like working him today either.

Has anyone had that feeling?

>> He settled down, and things are pretty cool now, but being 19 months old, he's a chewer.  I've had him on leash since I got him, and everything was fine till I got home with my brand new leather leash which he chewed in half in a perfectly streight line in two seconds flat.
>> Needless to say, I was embarrassed to call the school to order a new leash, but more embarrassed when the head trainer answered the phone.  He was cool about it, well for him, and said to give him a couple of weeks to get more leashes as theyn were out.

>> I'm hoping they'll just give me a new one, but I don't think I'll be that lucky.
>> 
>> Also, he appears to be a dog, but is a beaver.  He eats anything wooden outside, and I can't seem to break him of it.  I've said no, leash corrections, drop it and removed sticks and twigs from his mouth.  ug.

>> Hope to hear from you guys soon.  I just did a mass delete before I wrote you all, so if you wrote me about Shasta, please forgive me and send it again.

>> Have a great day.
