Mya's Training...

Mya had her second training class this past Monday.  She did very well.  Our first task was called "Sit on the  dog"---it's where she is on leash and has to sit beside Mac or myself for thirty minutes with no attention given to her at all.  We've done this several times and she is getting better at it.  Really wants to chew on the leash. I'm spraying them constantly with bitter apple mixed in with a little pepper juice to try and get her to stop chewing on it.  Other than that, she is fine to sit.
Our other task was to sit and wait after her food has been put down and I have "freed" her to eat.  She is doing really good with this one.  Her little ears perk up when she hears those treats dropped into her bowl!!   I've learned that I need ALOT more treats!!   We really are having a great time with Leah and just can't say enough good things about FlintHill K9....

It truly is making all this overtime worth it!!!


This is a picture of My from earlier this week (before the rain came)---she has now noticed or "found" out about birds.  It is so funny to watch her chase them all out of the only tree we have!!

Here come the Apple Rumors...

Iphone 6 rumors are here...  Thanks to Pinterest, I just found one of them that post a real cool design.  I can't imagine it getting any slimmer.  But you never know.  I would like to see a wider screen.  That is on my "want" list from Apple....  Check out the site and see what you think....It's called In Rumor...
I have to say, I love the design...  Very slick design and modern.

I'm sure there will be plenty more "rumors" in the upcoming months....

SO CUTE!!!

I came across this on Pinterest and thought it was so cute.  What a great idea!!  I wish I had my dad's old tie's..  Now in my opinion, it doesn't look that hard.  But I have been wrong  on that in the past before!!  Before I tackle any new project, I'm going to finish my rag quilt.  But this will be put on the back burner.  It would be very cute as wall art....  Like I said, I  got it from Pinterest via Deb Rowden's Thrift Shop Quilts blog.  Check it out....

Drifted For a Few....

I thought I would confess or update, which ever we want to call it---how things are going with my diet and Weight Watchers.  I haven't been working out as consistently as I was.  I've been eating like I should and lost 2.1 pounds this past week.  For a loss so far of 12.5 pounds.   Changing my eating habits has been alot easier than I thought it would be.  I still miss my pretzels though!!  However, the bigger (or smaller) picture is much more important to me.
So my goal for the reminder of the week is to get back on track with my exercising.  I was really doing good getting up before work, but not so good on my off days.  Weird--you would think it would be the other way around.  I've got my motivation back---hopefully next week's update will be better!!!
