Happy Sunday to all and Happy Halloween tomorrow! May it be a fun and safe day for all. This will actually be Cooper's first Halloween where he will experience the sound of the door bell ringing and kids of all ages trick-or-treating. In Huntsville, we had none of that. First of all, we had no door bell, second, no kids would ever venture up our private road. Way too spooky. We expect a lot of activity based on what we've been told and everyone on our street has decorated their house. We have enough candies and we have a pumpkin that Russell carved this afternoon. This is the second pumpkin that we bought. The first one was eaten by the squirrels. No joke. Pretty well every pumpkin on the street has been chewed by squirrels. We will keep ours in the garage until tomorrow night. As for the Coop, we will keep a close eye on him. We don't want him to get spooked by the kids and we also don't want him to escape through the front door. So, Russell will manage the door and I will manage the Coopster.
This past week was quiet. I helped my parents take care of the funeral details for my aunt, which will be held this coming Wednesday. The forecast is looking beautiful for that day. I find everything is so much better when the sun shines.
I started Obedience training with Cooper yesterday morning. It was a good class and very good for him to be in that environment. From past experience, I knew that Cooper wouldn't want to stay still for too long while the instructor explained what to do so my challenge was to tell him to be patient and that he will get to perform soon....he did pretty well. I guess the high value treats helped a lot. We look forward to the next six weeks. Now, we have some homework to do this week.
It's hard to believe that November is just around the corner. It certainly doesn't feel like it, the weather has been so nice. Soon, it will be all about Christmas.
In this week's blog, I'm including some photos of Russell taken at the gym, which I think are pretty good. He is doing really well with his trainer. He has noticed a big improvement in the joint issues that he's been having and this is all because of his hard work and his trainer Melissa. Good for you Russell. I'm proud of my hubby.
Have a great week everyone!
