Vet Visit and Clicker Training

This morning, we again went to downtown San Rafael for a destination visit, where we pick what place we want to go and the instructors give us the directions. I chose Starbucks so I could meet up with another student and instructor. We found it perfectly and the Starbucks staff were really great with us, probably because they get a lot of visits from GDB. After lunch the new students had clickerr training without our dogs. It's a technique where you use a small device that clicks at the exact moment the dog did a new command. We'll be doing it for real with our dogs soon. After clicker training, we took our dogs to the vet and he read us their medical history. Then they were weighed and had their ears checked. Melanie's ears were perfect and she only weighed 50 lbs., not 58 like they said last Wednesday. It's unlikely she lost weight, more likely an input error. At any rate, she's a healthy happy little dog.

Tonight, at 7:15, I'll be attending an optional yoga class. I did it last Tuesday as well, and it was relaxing. And for those who want to know, yes, the food is great and plentiful. I'll definitely need to be out walking Melanie a lot when I get home. It's hard to believe it's almost half over.
