Whew! What a crazy month it has been. Classes started on the 18th. I'm attending Moorpark instead of COC and I love it. It is a bit of a drive, but I don't mind. Especially when I'm in...my brand new Yaris!!

I bought a polar white 3 door hatch, and I LOVE it. So does Vito. He gets more room...and I ordered a barrier so it is safer until I decide to put a crate back there. I didn't have the seats all the way down in the pic I posted, so it looks slightly funny.





Besides the car and school things have been well. Vito is doing well, and has been making progress in public. I think he feels more confident and I am proud of him! He hasn't been to classes with me yet, but we went to campus orientation. There was a lot of people there and he did well. Of course, we have been taking our trips to Starbucks for study time, and running other errands. A lot of people tell me he is very behaved...so it is nice to hear that.

GDA switched foods from Canidae to Natural Balance which hasn't completely agreed with Vito, so he is going to GDA tomorrow for that and for a kennel visit! He has gone 2 times now to Camp GDA and everyone says he has a great time! I'm so happy, as I don't want separation anxiety when it is time to leave him for evals or IFT.

Nothing else new going on. I can't believe it is almost September! Where does the time go?

Happy 1/2 Birthday!

This is late (oops!) but Monday was Vito's 6 month birthday. My boy is getting so big.


Vito has been pretty distractable so today Yvonne from GDA came out for a home visit. It went very well. Although Vito and I walk every day, he is on a strict exercise regimen. 2-3 miles per day! We are also starting from square one socialization wise. This will hopefully cut back on his nervousness that results of over stimulation. Yvonne was very positive, and together we think he can do it. :)

Other than that we have been taking it kind of easy. We enjoy our Starbucks trips! Tonight we start a level II obedience class at GDA so that will be fun!
