Kongs

I'm ready to start serving all of Wiki's food in a kong. Takes her more than five seconds to eat things that way, which gives me a few moments of peace and quiet. Freezing up plain yogurt and pumpkin puree makes up a nice combo. Kibble and veggies also works nicely. Peanut butter, frozen or not, is always great. Tried a little bit of apple sauce once and it made a mess. Would like to try oatmeal and cream cheese at some point, too (not together). Other kong ideas appreciated :)

Halloween

My grandmother sent me this Halloween card, and I'm pretty sure it is one of the best cards I've ever received! It makes me smile, so thought I would scan and share :)

Hiking Runyon

Wiki and I have started going hiking (off leash) on Sunday mornings with our new human and doggie friends. We absolutely love it and it is going to get both of us in shape. And, it actually gets Wiki tired...an amazing feat. Photos of our first hike are posted--thanks to Connie, the very best hiking buddy!

In other news....

Wiki got microchipped this week.
She is almost done with her beginning agility class and is doing very well!
Tomorrow (super early) we are going on our second off-leash hike. This will hopefully tire her out for the day so that I can nap and rest.

Jumping Bean

My dog is seriously insane. She has just discovered that she can jump really really high. And apparently thinks that it is a lot of fun. She jumped onto my picnic table to try to steal cheese and crackers. Then she jumped on my desk to try to steal clothes. Seriously?? At first, I was cracking up. But now everything I own is in danger and it seems a little less funny....I swear, a weim will always find a way to get into trouble!

Addendum: she just opened my screen door slider by herself...
Glad we're going hiking and gonna tire her out tomorrow.

First excursion to outside restaurant and the beach

Trip to Laguna Beach with Wiki, my parents, my brother, and his girlfriend.

Wiki loved hanging outside the place we went for lunch--she ate lots of french fries and pizza crusts and got tons of attention from people passing by. She did an AMAZING job all day with all the attention she received from new people and with other dogs walking by. Wiki was a little nervous about the waves of the ocean coming up at her, but once I ran into the water with her, she had a good time.
