Pomp and Circumstance

Two weekends ago, our little Jozi graduated from puppy school.  She attended six weeks of training (with perfect attendance!), made lots of friends, and managed to learn quite a bit.

Alex and I were convinced the whole time she was the best puppy in class. (boastful, much?) Well, at the graduation ceremony it was confirmed.  Jozi received the award of 'Class Nerd'--which meant that during the graduation contests/exams, she won every single event.  These events included fastest recall (Alex and I stood at the opposite end of the yard, called her, and she had to come to us before the puppy she was racing against ran to their owner.  Sorry, Enzo, Jozi is a quick girl!), quickest sit in the West (she had to sit before the dog she was competing against did), and she was on the winning relay team.

Alex and I are pretty proud of her--she's a good dog!

here are some pics from her puppy school and graduation ceremony.

The first week of class, Jozi hated the tunnel and was petrified when her teacher would pull it out.  By graduation, it was her favorite part of school!




Anne leading Jozi through the puppy confidence course!  Jozi had to walk through weave poles, tires, crawl in a baby pool of balls, and stand a board with a base of springs that wiggled.  She was a champ!

I hope to post again soon about Alex and I's quick weekend jaunt to Cape Town.  Taa-taa!
