Congratulations Luna

After six intensive weeks and an extremely challenging final exam, Luna has graduated from intermediate obedience. As usual Luna managed to test all of us during the exam. It seemed more like she expected me to perform the manouvers first then to actually do them herself. Every time I tried to get her to do some of the required steps she would loyally follow me around. Way to go Luna. In the end though she pulled it all together, showing off her true self. Negotiating obstacles, waiting, ignoring other dogs and finally laying on her bed. She managed it all in spectacular fashion.

 

The graduation ceremony ended with pictures, soy ice-cream and other treats for all the students. The ice-cream was entirely new to Luna and provided some humour for all of us as she tested the new treat.

   The next day, we made our biweekly vet visit to check on Luna's weight. Again she surprised us by tipping the scales at 89 lbs. And Luna inspired the usual commotion in the office. All the assistants and veterinarians in the clinic had to stop and give Luna the welcome rub down that she seems to be expect when she visits.
   I am forever surprised by the attention this girl can draw. It seems wherever we go Luna becomes the centre of attention. People want to touch and pet her at every turn. She in her smile friendly way accommodates everyone.
Finally a Wolfhound romp in the park to end a busy day. Most of the romp seemed to consist of rolling around on the ground. Frisbee case is also a loved activity.
