We met with Deb Cecotti for a training session on Wednesday, the day after Christmas, and Rigby and I showed her what we have been working on. Deb gave us lots of great ideas on how to improve and move forward on the exercises we had been working and she also gave us plenty of new exercises to learn in the coming weeks. The session was fun and motivating and, of course, I love to show off what Rigby has learned to this point!
The disappointment this week was that because of an overnight snowfall our Saturday tracking group was cancelled, leaving us with extra time on our hands.
Since I was dressed and ready to go out in the cold temperatures, I took Rigby out for some fun in the snow early Saturday morning. She had fun exploring the snow and jumping and playing, but it was quite cold and it wasn't long before she was ready to go back inside to the warmth of the house.
Later in the morning Rigby and Rocky had some great play time together. They so enjoy each other, playing tug with the toys, keep away or having a barkfest to express their opinions to one another.

It won't be long before Rigby won't be able to play one of her favorite games with Rocky, Over and Under. She loves to walk under his belly and she is always walking over him when he is laying down. Here are some photos of the Over and Under game:
 |
| Under she goes. |
 |
| It's becoming a bit of a tight fit. |
 |
| Rocky is a good sport about playing her games. |
 |
| She tries his patience from every angle. |
 |
| Then when Rocky lays down, the over part of the game is set in motion. |
 |
| I'm not sure of the scoring system for this game, but I'm sure Rigby wins every time. |
 |
| And there she goes again! |
 |
| The prelude to the game. |
 |
| Rocky gives his opinion... |
 |
| ...and Rigby digests what he said... |
 |
| ...then she lets him know what's on her mind. |
 |
| Rocky won this game as he got the last word -- or bark in! |
Here are a few other shots of their fun and games.

| This is one of my favorite photos of their play time. |
Today was a girls' day out and Rigby and I went to my friend's stable so that Rigby could meet her Auntie Lin and Auntie Cindy. She took her toys and played, showed off her skills and was spoiled by both of the ladies. Lin prepared a nice salad for lunch and we had a very pleasant visit.
 |
| Rigby really liked Auntie Lin!! |
