Another Busy Week

It was great to be home after traveling last week. I was able to visit beautiful Lake County Florida, and see a little bit of what Isaac can cause (hurricane warning and LOTS of rain). I did have the opportunity to stay in a beautiful bed and breakfast in Mt. Dora, however.

First day back to work was Thursday; however, I was visiting a sister school in Kaysville, so Mariko got to enjoy another day without working. Friday was her first day back to work (and her only day to work) and she was feeling a little picked on, so Aunt Wendy came over to make sure she felt loved and missed.

Don't you feel sorry for this poor working dog?

We did hit obedience training for about 90 minutes on Saturday, this was the end result:

After lots of fun and games for most of the weekend (since it was a three day weekend), she decided that she was going to be good and practice bed Monday evening:

I often wonder what is going on in that amazing brain of hers when I catch her "zoning off" like this. Maybe she is envisioning being a super dog and helping someone achieve their independence!
