What is up with Guin's hair?

Guiness's chest hair is all chopped off. The only thing I can think of is Miley must be pulling on it when they are playing and running. But I'm not finding hair around the house or yard????

Boy is it hot

Here is Miley swimming calmly.
Here is Guiness's panic swimming.

Its been over 100 degrees for the last 3 days. We are hoping for a break soon.
On Saturday we got up at 5 am. Practiced agility at 6:30. Went out on the lake by 7:30am. We went to an island that has a small beach on it. Its nice because the water is all sandy and not the red clay we have here. The dogs had fun. Guiness doesn't like swimming but Miley did very well. She didn't seem to mind me putting her in the water and sometimes she even swam around. But she never went into the water herself. Guiness's favorite thing was digging in the sand. I tried to get a picture but none of them turned out right.

Later that day I drove to Charlotte for a private lesson and then took a class. I really like to take classes because then your dog has to work with other dogs around. And when you work alone at lot you worry how your dog will respond. She was fine. She was even able to work with a sheltie barking right at the start line of the exercise. It was the only shade that everyone could stand in so that's why he was at the start line. She did very well in the class. We had one problem with a "come to heel" out of a tunnel and over a jump. She needed to come to heel to make a tight turn and make the dog walk. We have practice "come to heel" but just not with enough speed so she really has to collect.Something to work on. I wet her down each time her turn was over and she seemed ok. I know she doesn't like it but I don't want her to have a heat stroke. Class was at 6pm but it was still in the high 90's. I took the private lesson at 4pm. It was really hot then. She did work but if you stopped to talk about a problem, she would run to the car and lay in the shade. ( you know its bad when Miley runs to the car, she hates the car) I learned alot and have some great exercises to work on. O course I'm late with my cues and my body isn't in the right spot and that's why she is going off course. I knew I was doing something wrong, but unless someone shows you where you body was or where you gave the verbal cue, its hard to know what is wrong. It was a long day. We got home at 10pm only to wake up at 5am to poor Roxy's problem. But she now seems fine.

Roxy feels sick

We woke up this morning at 5:15 and Roxy was in the bathroom having bloody diarrhea. I'm not sure what happened to cause her to have this problem. Luckily chihuahua poop is very little so its not as big a deal to clean it up. Most of it was on the throw rugs that I could put in the washer. She didn't seem sick except for the bloody diarrhea. She has been running around and wanted to eat. I gave her some canned food of the I/D formula. She hasn't had anymore diarrhea this morning so maybe she is better now. I hope so.

Last CGC class

Wednesday was our last CGC class before the test. Miley did very well. We went through every station of the test. The only problem was the neutral dog test. That's the one where you each have your dog at your side. Then you both walk toward each other and stop and shake hands. The dog is to stay at your side and not go over to the other dog. But that is what Miley did. Maybe because the other dog was a sheltie. So we practiced that a few more times with other dogs and she got better. I'm hoping I can find someone to practice with before the test next Wednesday. Miley did very well with the walking part. She heeled right at my side. Everyone said I should do rally with her. I told them it was just because its 98 degrees outside. It you made it 65 degrees it would be a different story. But I will take it anyway. All the dogs were very subdued. I'm sure it was the heat. I had sweat running down the inside of my hair. Yuk!! And its not like we were running agility.

Weaves

Here are Miley's weave poles. I think she is doing really well for only about 2 weeks of training. The first and last pole are slanted more than the rest of the poles. I had to put the poles more upright because she was bouncing them. So now she is getting her rhythm going. Once she gets more speed and angled entires I will make them the poles more straight up.

Sand Dollars

Here is some of my sand dollar collection. I found a few more of the smaller ones this weekend. I put the dime in there so you could see how small they are. I'm probably going to have to start looking for really large ones now.

Guiness's favorite thing

I love chasing birds.
Come on Miley.
tired.
o, the wind is blowing like crazy!
I love sand too!

The beach. We went to the beach this weekend. Guiness loves running up and down the beach chasing the birds. He also loves rolling in the sand. He hates water but not at the beach. Miley wouldn't get in the water. She just ran up and down the waters edge after Guiness. The chihuahuas just walk along with us.
