The BeauTY in TY
Written by Pam on February 5, 2015
Foundation 2 FUNdamentals is a blast – with HGT’s TyTy…
We have almost completed our second obedience training class and I see the progress. Ty has already mastered the sit, stay, down and sit stay and the down stay when we walk round Ty while she is in position – this command will help when we need to show-off Ty’s stuff (hopefully) when we enter the Westminster Show Ring someday. We have a ways to go though! Oh how I wish this will come true some day…:*) Both of my magnificent breeds amaze me. Their eye contact is incredible – they look to me for the next command and perform it – that’s it! To them, they are in the game to please me and have fun while doing it!
Ty is in the process of learning ‘on-spot’ or back from the door . The “on-spot” helps when visitors come to our home and are not bombarded with lab kisses but to sit pleasantly on the designated spot, until given the command to come when called. It is really hysterical to watch as Ty’s butt is planted but her mind tells her no get up and go – go – go so instead of this go – go – go she compensates by doing this semicircle movement while sitting so that she can watch my every move – real cute – real Ty!
Do you see the progress of how our Ty amazes us at each turn? – Below the pictures of Ty is another one of my treasured poems on Love – the love and happiness that our dogs express and how this happiness brings out the very best in all of us…Enjoy, Pam
Ty right before the semicircle motion starts …URGR8 TY!
Love By: Roy Croft
I love you, not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you.
I love you, not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me.
I love you for the part of me that you bring out;
I love you for putting your hand into my heaped-up heart and passing over all the foolish, weak things that you can’t help – dimly seeing there, and for drawing out into the light all the beautiful belongings that no one else had look quite far enough to find.
I love you because you are helping me to make of the lumber of my life – not a tavern but a temple; out of the works of my every day not a reproach but a song.
I love you because you have done more than any creed could have done to make me good and more than any fate could have done to make me happy.
You have done it without a touch, without a word, without a sign.
You have done it by being yourself.
Perhaps that is what being a friend means, after all.
