playing – Sand Spring Chesapeakes

This week at work Preacher got to have some one on one time again for some ~~play~~ exercise with her pal Weston the Rottweiler. Weston is a rescue rottie that my pal Teresa that I work with adopted a few months ago. Weston lives with his brother another adopted rottie Cyrus who is 8 years old. Both dogs train and compete in agility, lure coursing and carting. Teresa has no idea the up bringing of these boys but they sure have filled her life with tons of joy and love to be out there working. They are the sweetest boys you could meet. Preacher just loves her time with Weston as you can see from the photos.

The excitement is all in the eyes!

I can take you Weston your Rottie butt has nothing on me!

Preacher down, but not for long.

Sometimes the dogs just need some one on one exercise. That way they know it’s just the two of them and they can concentrate on each other vs worry about where the other dogs are and when someone else is going to do the sneak attack and bomb one of them. They had no troubles racing around in the snow and cold for over a half hour. They were tired pooches for the rest of the afternoon at work.

The Barks:

A hugh thank you goes out to Lisa, Teddy, Scout and Diesel over at Dogs N Pawz . They were having multiple Unbreakoball giveaways and we were lucky enough to win the last ball they were giving away. I really wanted to win this ball to put it to the Gman test. Gman is a ball wrecker and has chewed up many balls so I was super excited when I got the email that we won.

Oh we wonder what is in this box?

We won our very own unbreakoball.

Whoo hoo what fun.

Glory says this is cool.

Glory modeling with the ball.

Gman trying his paw at the ball.

2 paws up for this toy.

I can get this.

Gman hasn’t wrecked it yet.

Nellie even had a little fun.

What a cool ball, the SS gang loves it.

The Bytes:

I want to thank the FitDog Friday blog hop for awarding Sand Spring Chesapeakes In The Hunt award. We are proud to be awarded this award and have displayed it on our sidebar. Check it out if you haven’t seen it already. Come back tomorrow to see what the SS gang did this week for their FitDog Friday post.

WOOF co-hosts… Oz The Terrier, Roxy the Traveling Dog and Wag ‘n Woof Pets, thank you for this blog hop.

WHAT IS WOOF?

WOOF, Working Out Our Fears, is an online group for reactive dogs and their owners to seek support from others who are dealing with similar experiences.

The Woof theme today is: “What I Love about My Reactive Dog”.

This is my first WOOF blog post and I wanted to share “What I Love about My Reactive Dog”.

My reactive dog is Nellie. She is reactive in a couple of ways but today going with the theme I will tell you that I love that Nellie is the best “alarm/guard dog” in our house. Any little noise that she hears and thinks is coming from outside she goes ballistic. She will jump up out of a dead sleep to go bark at what ever she heard just to alert us something might not be right. She has done this her entire life. At times I will admit it drives me nuts because if you “burp” she will think it came from outside and she will go into attack mode and bark, bark, bark. When she does alert us that someone is outside outweighs the over barking at normal noises. I am glad I have Nellie to alert me as I know with her barking and carrying on an intruder might think twice of coming in, for that I love her.
