The Graduate

Today, I am a proud momma owner.



Ransom graduated from an 8-week obedience course. Hubs came along to watch his graduation and to take some pictures. Of course on graduation day, he acted as though he learned nothing.


He was the only dog in his class to win the perfect attendance award. He loved his award.


Good thing he won that contest, because he lost Simon Says due to his owner forgetting how to play. He was the first dog out on the "who can sit the longest" contest and came 2nd to last on the "fastest recall." Those little dogs can run fast!


We had a good time, though. His classmates included a mastiff, a blue heeler, a daschund, a boston terrier, and two shelties.


When it was time to receive his diploma, Ransom lost interest. Something behind him looked way cooler.



I think he was proud of his accomplishment, though. We still have some areas to work on, but at least we have a good foundation.

Yeah for Ransom and for his "pack leader" for getting him there every time. Go Heather! Good thing Ransom is not sensitive as to how the spell his last name! : )

After all that training, I am sure Ransom can join up with this dog.
