Utility and Sunshine


I am not sure I can accurately describe Rugby's new attitude lately. It seems after our trials the other weekend, he has been unusually happy and attentive. He was happy before, but this is a different kind of happy. I can think of only one reason for this - he must know he is amazing!

We have been working on our Utility exercises much more seriously since then. I forgot how much more energy it takes to LEARN new things. Now that we are introducing new exercises Rugby demands a nice long afternoon nap to recharge after working.

And just because he is cute....

Lots of studying going on the past couple days, but we will get caught back up soon!
