Training Goals - By Fezzy

Lately, Mommy has been doing all this crazy talk about training goals for me and her.

Everyday, I remind her with my super good behavior about how quickly I learned to go into my crate when Mommy and Daddy are leaving the house. Mommy has never had a furkid that she didn't have to chase down, with elaborate traps and fast reflexes, when it was crate time. I totally shocked her when I just followed the treat she held for me in the crate and plopped my cute little self down. Now, sometimes I can even guess when Mommy is about to leave and just head right on in - waiting oh so patiently for my biscuit and fuzzy toy.

You would think that would be enough, but Mommy had decided that it is time for a new goal for me - something about not jumping all over people when they walk in the house. I am choosing to ignore her lessons as they seem stupid. I am only showing how excited I am to see my favorite people or to meet someone new. I am hoping to train Mommy on this one.

But, I'll give her a little slack, as I've heard her mumbling about whether she should try to plan for more specific training goals. She is wondering if her current attempts to just survive a workout or even her loosely defined aspirations to "be a little faster" should be thought through a little more.

And the more she thinks about her training goals, hopefully the less she will think about mine.

I have missed Fezzy posts.

My children are sitting around me arguing about how beautiful Fezzy is.

Dearest Fezzy,

I have wondered where you have been. I guess your jumping training has you too tuckered out to blog. We understand.

As for your furmommy's goals- i think she is very dedicated and can do anything she wants to. when she feel scomfortable with the distance - sure she can up the speed as she feels. but she is already mighty fabulous in my book.

Hugs and Kisses,
Princess

Fezzy, you're a sweetie to cut mommy some slack. I've seen her workouts - and I don't think I could even survive them. And btw, I think you're adorable when you great me at the door.

Too cute! I'm all excited because Kona the Puppy Monster finally started going into his crate without a battle, but the whole jumping on people thing is still a major work in progress : ) (At least yours gets adorable points for jumping on visitors, people just think mine is trying to eat them!)

his jumping is not troublesome!

and the picture is a special bonus

Dear Fezzy,

I haven't met you, but I agree with you. What is wrong with jumping on your favorite people? My mom gets mad at me too when I do that. I, on the other hand, do not like crates. Mom got rid of mine when I was just a pup because it freaked me out so much. Now, I just sleep under the bed.
And - tell your mom she is a super-duper triathlete!

Love, Josie L.
