Some couples use marks on the wall to track their child's growth. We use pineapples.

Gloria vs. Higher Education
Gloria's a graduate!
Unfortunately I had to miss the ceremony due to work (7 am Sunday inventory - ick!), but Kyle gave me an update - reenactment and all, he even took plenty of pictures for me, which still have yet to leave his camera, however, when they do make it off the camera, no worries, I'll post them.
The ceremony consisted of three parts:
1. Final competition
2. Caps and diplomas
3. The group picture
Gloria's classmates were all little shih tzus and mini poodles - non herding dogs like G, obviously she had an edge. She lost by a treat the lay and stay competition (K was bribing her to stay with a treat and he dropped it - how was G supposed to resist an un-guarded treat next to her face?). However, she redeemed herself during the relay race. Her team was an entire leg in the relay race behind when her turn came up (she was last to go). She raced across the store, around the trainer (without once glancing at the toys), and skidded to a sit several feet past the finish line (she was too excited to stop at the finish line) - all before the owner of the last dog on the other team could get his dog to sit. She won the relay race for her team!! Her prize? Doggie doo doo bags (mom and dad were thrilled).
Then the dogs all put on little graduate caps (Yes, I have a photo. It's adorable.) and were given their diplomas. And finally, Gloria and her friends from class all took a photo together.
So now we're moving on to advanced training. It deals with distractions - it's going to be an adventure, that's for sure!
