I caught this very sweet moment between Falkor and Famke the other day. Falkor was using her as a pillow and he was quickly falling asleep as I was snapping the photo. I am just thrilled with how great they are together. The play together all the time and it is a riot to watch Famke egg Falkor on and try to get him to chase her outside. I remember when I first brought her home and he was overwhelmed when Falkor would run in the backyard. Now she LOVES it.
And like Lindsay over at Life with Big Dogs I have a full blown collar obsession now. I have always enjoyed finding cool collars but there aren't loads of them for a giant boy dog like there are for small girl dogs. :) I am also fully embracing my girlie foo-foo side and I am loving finding girlie collars for Famke. I found a really nice leather collar with copper and gold embossed flowers on it at TJ Maxx for $4! They also had a gorgeous pink leather "Life is Good" collar but it was ginormous, and I don't think Falkor would appreciate a pink collar. He's just not a pink guy. ;)
I have been practicing with Famke trying to get her ready for conformation (even though I am a total newbie) and she is coming along with it. She does pretty well letting me stack her although her gaiting leaves a lot to be desired. LOL She thinks gaiting is wooo-hooo lets run around like a nut on the end of a leash. We have a fun match at the end of the month and it will be fun to play show dog with her there.
I think we will also be entering the Fort Dodge trial in June in conformation so that will be quite interesting I am sure.
