Day 186 - Week 27 BAD EVE

I can't believe I have had Eve for 1/2 year already!  Oh my goodness the time is flying!  She is still growing and loves to eat.  The other day we went to visit her buddy Kobe and the first thing she did was head for his food bowl and chowed down.  She inhales her food and does not chew as I discovered when she puked in a restaurant a few weeks ago.  At first I thought "How did that dog food get there?"  It literally looked like someone had poured her new kibbles.

At the last obedience class we had to get the pups to sit, stay and then we take a walk around the gym and head back to the dogs who are obediently waiting.  We do this at almost every class.  WELL what do you think Evey was up to this time?  She began running around the gym having a grand ole time while we all chased her down.  OH BOY!  So, this week I have taken her twice to the enclosed basketball courts at the park.  We started off pretty well until she decided it was play time!  Off she went. Running all around the court, while I was in hot pursuit!  There was one section with about 3 inches of water and she had a blast galloping through there.  She ate a popsicle stick (which is yet to pass through her), half a dozen worms and God only knows what else.  I was furious.  I wanted to strangle her!  I then decided to leave the court and see what she would do.  Oh no...I've locked the door and now I can't get back in!  Panic!  Of course there was Eve on the inside sitting all pretty now.  Eventually I figured out the trick to the door and after several attempts finally caught her.  Oh...Good Eve for finally coming.  It is very difficult to praise her when all I want to do is scream!  We went back the next evening and what do you know.  She started her shenanigans again.  Running around.  I need help or is this just a phase!?
Well we must be on our way.  Off to the escalators - our other challenge! 
I'm off to Beaver Creek, Colorado on Saturday for a business symposium.  Eve is staying with Rupert and Bev and hopefully they will straighten her out!  Wish them luck!

Frustrated Andrea & Adorable BAD Eve!

Day 168 - Week 25 CATCHING UP

It has been a month since our last post and so much has happened! 
Eve recovered nicely from her operation (she was spayed on Feb 10).  Two weeks of recovery was a long time as we couldn't play with other dogs or go into the dog park.  But thankfully we both survived.
Eve attended her first ever Canucks hockey game thanks to Penny and John Ryan.  She was a hit as she always is.  They brought out a carpet for her to lie on and they even put her on the big screen where she got a lot of AHHHHHHHHH's!  It was pretty cute.  Ver came with us and we all had a good time despite the loss.  I was worried that when the Canucks scored she would freak out from the noise of the crowd, but we never got to find out how she would react as we lost 3-0 to Nashville.  The picture below is the 3 of us at the game.
Obedience class is going all right.  She is having some issues with staying when I leave the room.  She gets up which is not allowed.  We will have to work on that.  She is also still petrified of Escalators and we need to somehow over come it. 
As we speak she keeps bringing me her toys one at a time to play with her.  It is very difficult to write this blog. 
We promise not to wait too long for our next entry.

Until next time...
