Hi --Sorry it's been a while

School started in August and life has been crazy --have had a lot going on, so the blog kind of got pushed aside for a while.

Leon and I are doing okay. He really is a wonderful dog --his eagerness and enthusiasm for life inspires me. I mean, a dog doesn't really own anything --yet he is very happy. And he works so hard for me --all for kibble, praise and some butt scratches. Man, he LOVES to be praised --his eyes just light up. I love it.

Anyway, I'd like to let y'all know about my YouTube channel. I have a couple of videos of Leon posted and one of my cat Marzipan. Here's the link to my channel:

I know, Agriculturemajor ---I could have chosen a better name. But I was probably really tired and brain foggy when I made the account.

Here is my latest video, taken on Thursday the 5th at my allergist's office.

First, he wanted to lick the tasty leavings. Then he was too excited and eager, so he kept dropping the cup. But he finally did it! And even took a bow when I praised him, the big ham. :)

Leon and I will be competing in Rally Obedience Novice Level in a local show on Saturday and Sunday. I was wanting to enter in formal Obedience Novice, but have taken no classes nor have I had any experience with it. So we decided to go with Rally for right now. I am excited! It's going to be fun!

I'll see if my friend I am competing with can take video of our runs. She's competing in another class (Rally Advanced Excellent 2), so she may be able to.
