First Meal Out of a Disc!

Puppy had today her first out-of-a-disc served food! ;D
She is doing great here at the competition. She is very fond of flying discs and gets aroused very fast, but finds rest in her kennel. Not easy yet. But quite good and hey- its her very first day at a competition!
So you find today a foto of her first meal out if a disc attached! Tinka is behaving good and Tabasco - HE ROCKED!
My goal was : "please not this year the last place open again!" We'll I am more than satisfied we got a 4 th place overall at our first tournament this year! QUALIFICATION! AND first place Toss & Catch only! Yahaaw! With the new rules without in the air! Well when people forced me to go in front to get my price I had to ask :"What for?" Because of the non stop rain the award ceremony was held at a camper without good accustic. Well done super dog Tabasco!!!
Have a good weekend all!

3 h sleep till next start to competition!

3 h sleep before starting to our first competition this year! Aloha will meet great friends

Tall young lady

Look! She looks like a "real" Bc now! I told you, this puppy doesn't want to look like a puppy ;)
And how tall she got! I was more than astounded  when I had a look on the picture some time after I took it.

Ups no up to date

Really?
Yes! NO photo from today in a at least half decent quality to show you!
But you guess it: still 2 ears folded ( 1 flopping up sometimes) and 2 teeth missing and one on the loose.

Today you get a photo from yesterday ;) which shows you you how long her snout suddenly got:



Good night!

 

23.04.2013 Aloha update and looking forward to the AWI in Karlsruhe!

❀ Aloha
I am not only missing movement upwards no, bye now she has 2 teeth missing!
I thought about Tricktraining her to whistle but- we'll you know. She would have a hard time when the next missing tooth would change the whole trick ;)

Rock✯A✯Bello
This weekend we will go to our first competition. All three dogs, ✯ Tabasco starting ♥ Tinka and ❀ Aloha for company and training. It is not only the first Discdog competition this year I will go to, but a qualifier as well and a lot of great players and friends will start! So I hope I can focus on having fun instead of moaning about having had so less chance to train. We will see!

A lot European friends which were attending the super fun AWI European Championships last year will be there and Moreno already told me the "mirtillno" after the recipe of "nonna" is ready. And "mirtillno is no light" so trying this will be fun anyway ;)
Oh I am so looking forward to meet DiscDog family again! And sure Tabasco is keen to stretch his legs on a good green field!

2ears - folded

Still same ears as the days before. I caught a glimpse of 2 ears up and some seconds of one ear up. Her right ear seems a bit firmer on the lower half than her right one. But still 2 ears down. Just when I thought today about making 2 day posts one ear stood up. Ah - she is keen to have her each day updates.
;)

Who is the biggest?

 

2down- is this the final ?

Still 2 ears down - final ear position? No! Still 2 ears rising - We will see.

Night night

2ears- er- halfway

Aloha's daily ear update

We keep on the days of 2 ears down, but- they are rising.

I am quite fond of the photo underneath made with a last minute car light late night 2points battery on the iPhone (my cam here) left, setup.

Have a good week-end!

Still 2 Down

Aloha's daily ear update

Her ears are still both down, but the tips are higher now. Sorry no close up for today the sky was too impressive.

18.4.2013 Aloha's Ear Update

18.4.2013 Aloha's Ear Update

Still 2 ears down, but both of them one at a time stood up today.
She is growing - on different sides at different times. Many days I could say: "ugh the nose is longer than in the morning" And the last 2 days: her ears where growing, I am sure. 

in the morning

in the evening

Today her front legs got a bit longer as well, so she is a bit more even when standing upright now.

While running she nearly seems to be proportional balancedHere you can see how tall she is in comparison to Tabasco.

As you can imagine not only the appearance of this puppy is developing, her ego os growing as well.

Thank you for your condolence for Ernie. I am sorry Christi, I wish I had better news. I know you where sending lots of positive vibes to him.

Sad news - Ernie

Ernie, the hedgehog passed this afternoon away.

May you walk through sunny forests filled with loads of delicious insects. R.I.P.

The daffodil which grew far away from the next estate (post before yesterday if I am not mistaken) has been stolen: broken - not cut off.

Alohas daily ear-post

Mine ! ? ??

Today: still 2 down, but her right ear seems to be a bit higher and more bend down instead of folded down as her left ear is.

Todays pictures are taken in the late evening.

Ernie the hedgohog is still alive :-) .

Please keep on the good thougts!

16.04.2013 Ernie moved+ Aloha 15 Weeks + Coordination Traning Video

Alohas Daily Ear Post:

In the morning she had 1 ear up

but decided fast to switch for rest of the day to : 2 ears down! That's a Change.

Aloha 15 Weeks

Here is a little 25 sec video of Aloha on trees from yesterday.

I wanted to start some balance training with her, but she just did her own way!

In the morning we didn't find a hedgehog, but a daffodil! Growing some km away from the next estate.

Ernie, as I decided to call the hedgehog, was at the vet today. Hopefully some rest will be enough for him- so he moved in the garden of my neighbours, has some fresh water and kitten kibble. I have to say I am afraid of him. He is nearly not moving at all, and when put down he even doesn't roll to stay on his feet- he just stays as he was put down.

But in the evening when I came back from work ( he was still at my place) he was in the water bowl. So he must have moved there. Hopefully to be outside again in a calm place will help him.

Please send positive thoughts to little Ernie. Hopefully he will get better soon!

15.4.2013 Today with a special guest!

A hedgehog found

A hedgehog found at daytime which doesn't roll in is in trouble. I saw him 8 pm tryed to give him some water and in water mashed puppy kibble but hmm- what to do? 11 p.m. I returned, packed him into a big box and now he is sleeping in the near of a radiator. Hopefully he will eat some puppy kibble or scrambled egg so he doesn't have to see the vet tomorrow.

Aloha had today in the morning 2 up and even minus 1

14.04.2013 Aloha was visiting Puppies and Clickertraining

Today we were at Lucky Charms Border Collies and had a great day in the sun with friends! Aloha was AWESOME with the puppies- which are exactly 2 months younger than she is. And cute as - as - as just 5 weeks old puppies can be!
We had FUN! So I was busy with cuddling puppies, throwings discs, eating the first barbeque of the year and chatting with friends- but don't worry new pic of Aloha is here.

I'd say today was a 55% in favour for 1 up 1 down so here it is :

 

 

I have captured a nice moment of Bazinga! having fun, too ;-)

12.04.2013 Video ❀ Aloha discovering the world ( 9 Weeks)!

12.04.2013 Today with video of Aloha discovering the world ( 9 Weeks)!

❀ Aloha's daily ear post

Alohas täglicher Ohrenpost

 

At clicker tranings at home she has 2 down- outside I see some 2 up- but today mostly was dedicated to 1 up 1 down.

Bim Clickern schaut sie mich mit entspannten 2 gefalteten Ohren an, draußen wo es soooviel zu entdecken gibt braucht sie mehr Ohr- und stellt auch gerne mal beide auf. Im Großen und Ganzen war heute eins hoch eins runter.

 

As special you get today a video of an occasion I am really happy to have banned on video. Laugh guarantee! 

Heute gibt es ein ganz besonderes Leckerchen für euch: Eine Begebenheit die ich an Alohas erstem Tag bei mir aufgezeichnet habe und von der ich unendlich froh bin sie auf Video zu haben.

Lachen garantiert!
