Boo has been busy. In addition to being spayed, she has been working hard on her retriever training.
Yes, that is right. Boo will not be having any baby boo's. As good a dog as she is, there are many more out there that need homes and our house isn't equipped for more Boo's.
Boo's temperament is great. She LOVES everyone - dog and human. She does give a bark here and there when she isn't sure who you are, but isn't aggressive.
Her training is starting to pick up as well. She is a strong swimmer and has done some water retrieves, but her best work is still on terra firma. She is holding well and almost always only retrieving on command. She has been working up to 2 marked retrieves and I have started to work her on blind retrieves.
On this weekend, our country's birthday, she went on her first ever camping trip. She never seemed confused or out of place and enjoyed it immensely. She was having fun and relaxing whenever she wanted.
This week, we will go fishing with Uncle Jim and Otter. We'll follow that with a day at Piney with Beth and Lily, then hopfully we'll be back in Wyoming for a backpack trip with Lily, UJ and Otter.
As far as training, we need to work more on blind retrieves, multiple marks and water retrieves.
