I've been reading up on homemade dogcandies, so tomorrow I'm going to try to see if i can get a hang on how to dry liver in the oven to make it just Right.
Today's been a nother soft day, well, soft and soft. Abby and Kaiser had a looooooong play as Trase and I was catching up on the weekend project "Taking down the tackshed". We're slowly winning.
Abby are going to have some leachtraining the coming week, and so is Kaiser. Kaiser and me have dared Linda and (my former dog) Baltazar to have the heel with good eyecontact for Atleast 3 meters by next sunday. And it's supposted to be videod, so I might share the videos here too.
He's such a sweetheart and he's learning so fast, favourite trick right now is backing up and laying down. He caught the "back up while sitting" from Abby I think since that's one of her favourite things and she's more than glad to do it. It's fun to see them copying eachother.
Oh well, I'm tired and can't realy put down my thoughts here tonight. But Karen Pryors "Don't shoot the dog" is waiting for me in the mail, and tomorrow I'm going to call the vet to see when we can come in for the next shot.
I'll let you guys know how the dogcandycooking went :)
Take care!

Emily is missing...
There's this little, sweet afganhound that's gone missing... and I follow the owners blog and the thread at bukefalos.com. I hope that they'll find her, can't even imagine the heartaic that owner must have. It's horrible when the little ones go missing, and I wish we could help out but Sweden and Canada are tooo far away from eachother.
I write this just to let people know that she's out there still, but there's still Hope! She might still come home alive... Let's all keep our fingers crossed for the return of pretty little Emily! And for you that live way down south in sweden, please keep your eyes open - she looks like Trasselsudd, the dog in the childrens show.
Let's all hope, pray if you want, for a safe return of this little pup to her owners.

Today..
Today's a soft day for us... well, for Kaiser anyway. The day started out with a funeral, and I don't handle them very well. So I'm slowmoving and thoughtfull today, but we did some training and just as we where quitting "Daddy" came down and Kaiser showed off. It's quite intreseting seeing a dog that tries to show all trick he knows just because he's sooo happy!
And a niiiiiice long play with Abby. We all appreciate the sunshine, and the fact that there's hardly any wind today. But I'm a bit "low at heart" today and not very energetic, so I'm pretty sure these will be todays highlights. I have to hunt for more hotdogs tho, I'm out of them again.
Rest in Peace Grannie. You were a great lady, and even tho I didn't get to know you for a long time. I'm gratefull to have met you, and send a thought your way everytime I crochett anything. Thank you for your gifts and jokes. I hope you've met your husband "on the hill", I'm sure he was there waiting for you.

WOW!!
Oh, he's just.. blowing my mind again.
Last little trainingsession for today.. he was Awesome! Imagine what a dog will do for some sausage... Haha! He's been sitting, laying down, spinning around on his bum (reminds me of when i was lil and "danced" lambada om my bum on mas hardwood floor in the livingroom.. haha!) rolling over... and barking some. And heels.
He's absolutly stunning... Batzo was a "once in a life time" dog - but I think I dare saying that so is Kaiser.
It's a blessing to have a dog like that, and I am forever gratefull for both of them. My princes! And my heroes. Most gsp owners say that once you've had a german shepherd - there's no other dog that'll do... and dogs like Kaiser and Batzo.. they are here to prove it!
Tonight I feel like the sky's the limit. Mind you, I know all the ages that are coming up... I know how it'll be when he's a "teenager". When he gets the selective hearing, and when he's a little toooooo full of himself. All dogs go into those ages, it's a part of it! But for now.... I'm just enjoying the amazing lil pup I got, taking everyday as it comes and having Fun! And man.. we're having FUN!
<3
Good night everybody...

I should have..
I should have brought the videocamera with me out today... Clickertraining goes great, he's starting to figure things out and among other things today he figured out that "dancing" (spinning around) is one of he things I like.. together with "down". Only thing is that he just Have to Sing as he's doing it. Which sounds just hillarious! But I'm guessing I'll have to make sure the singing and the laying down don't stay hand-in-hand that much longer.
..and we've been candytracking a little bit today, Man does he have a buzy nose or what?!
Luckily it wasn't as cold today as yesterday.. not as much wind, but winter makes me tired. Abby and him had a nice long play around dinnertime, he allways comes out looking like a snowdog. Full of snow and ice (apparently Abbydrool freezes fast..) But today he Did manage to wrestle her down quite a bit too, so they where equally snowy. She's doing good too.. But I'm still waiting for the "Don't shoot the dog" book and hope it will help me a bit with her.
And the ideas of building an agilitycourt is slowly turning into reality as we're talking about what to use to build what, when and where. No, Kaiser won't be training agility yet. He'll have to turn 1 first, atleast for the jumps and so... but I guess we can play around with the tunnel and stuff. But Abby might work on it, she needs something speedy and something to kickstart that colliebrain of hers.
Aaaaaany how... Kaiser's Great.. and I'm drinking coffee and are soon raiding the fridge, hotdoghunt! ..i'm out of dogcandies.. hahahaha..!
Have a good day!

Playing in the sun...
And that's how a saskatchewan dogowner looks after an hour outside, playing and fooling around. Luckily the snow's so dry here that it doesn't stick to everything the way swedish snow does. But I never needed a coverall, furryhat and sunglasses during the swedish winter. A normal tuke and a good pair of shoes, and Maybe a skiing outfit. Maybe. If the wind was bad... but atleast I get rosey cheeks here.. haha!
Someone likes sticks. A lot! But nothing's as good as my leathergloves, I guess one of these days I'll have to offer them and make them into real toys. Wonder if they'll be as loved to chew and bite on Without my fingers in them...
Kaiser sats:
Have a good day everybody!

Some days...
Some days Sweden feels tooooo far away and I want to jump a plane and go Home! Some days I miss drinking coffee with my friends, I miss my language - spoken not written. I miss my mother, my brother. I miss all my friends, my families, my horses. I miss having a horse that Feels what you think, that you can turn with just the shift of your hips.
Some days I miss the rain, the mudd, oh heck, I even miss the swedish Stores! And the volvocars, and the dirty shetlandponies. I miss you all. Everything.
That's where Kaiser comes in. When in doubt - go out and play, and cuddle. He's my little angel. Oh yes, I still miss Baltazar! Of course I do.. and the cats. ALL of the cats. And I miss it so badly my heart breaks.
Kaiser helps. A lot! And I'm so grateful to have him around. It's hard being on your own, far away from everything you know. And my hubby is great, don't doubt that at all! He's just amazing. Hubby and Kaiser. <3 But frustration don't go away too easy somedays, and somedays are a day like today. It sucks. But I know it'll pass, and later today I'll feel better, but till then. Kaiser's my king.
And he blows my mind everyday! <3
