We came, we conquered, we took those owner handler points again today! Day two meeting of the goal. Nothing in owner handler groups this afternoon but I did discover some amazing finds with the vendors here in Atlanta. First of all, Paws N Tails… My favorite vendors EVER… was having an end of the year clearance/garage sale. I picked up a few tiny leads to help train the puppies but also a set of “stackies”. I have aways struggled with training dogs to self stack on the table. I have just placed their dogs on the table and, BAM they’re stacked! They make it look way too easy! I’m hoping using this tool will help me train Tino. So far he’s not too keen on it but it’s only our first try. Now I need to start using them regularly… Wish me luck on that!

Another vendor I discovered here sells the Best in Show Trolleys along with all of the extra part pieces and toys. Apparently they’ve come out with a totally  new design! Individual crates that break down and stack. Quite ingenious actually! Lana was giving them a go to see how they fit in her car. I’m not sure how well they would work for Darius and I but they sure are Purdy!

We did have a Tino accomplishments today though! He is not been one for liking other breeds. Specifically ones that are much larger than him. This morning JuJu was all about playing with his toy on the floor beneath my feet. Tino didn’t bark or growl –  I was so proud! In fact he was engaged and appeared to want to play with her! Periodically, looking to me for reassurance, I encouraged him to play with her. It was adorable!

This evening we decide taken a local favorite for dinner. We headed to Spondivits for some of the best seafood ever! Well – ok, maybe no EVER but it was really good. On the expensive side but there was a lot of food. The company was the best part of it! Renee, Lana, Dolly, Darius Savannah, Jess and myself…Yea, we were quite the scene! Especially since I had to be the one person the group that could not not only did I break the tool they provided but bent my fork every way known to man. I will tell you the crabmeat was worth the extra effort my fork was destroyed!
