Dog Tricks

We've had some more requests for another feature on our little guy Ambrose, so I taped him the other night with Abbi going over some tricks we have taught him over the last two months. He has got the sitting command down pretty good, from that he learn how to go down, laying on his belly. From there he learned how to roll over, or on his side. Recently he has learned how to shake. As you can tell....he loves having his belly rubbed. Abbi seems to have the best rapport with Ambrose, but then again, she has always been great with any animal she encounters! Ambrose has been sleeping much better and now doesn't have a problem with his kennel when it's bed time. He is also getting comfortable with walks around park.

It's Saturday, three days before we leave for our vacation in San Diego for Aunt Rachel's wedding next weekend. We are all very excited to go and will start packing tomorrow. Plane leaves 6am on Tuesday, Wednesday we will spend at Disneyland, Thursday is a Padres game with wedding stuff taking up much of Friday and Saturday, not much on the books for Sunday and Monday (at least not that I know of), plane leaves around 10:30am the following Tuesday for home.

I asked the kids what they are most looking forward to doing while out West. Elli said Disney and seeing her cousin Morgan. A few days ago I told Elli about sunsets over the ocean, so she mentioned she wants to see the sun set over the Pacific. Abbi also said Disney and she is very much looking forward to wearing her flower girl dress for the wedding as well as spending the night at Morgan's with Aunt Britta and Uncle Tom. Gabe is looking forward to seeing the Padres-Brewers game and mentioned he hopes Tom takes him surfing. I got a feeling Gabe is looking forward to showing off his much improved muscular physique he has been working on during summer football conditioning........so look out California girls....the G-Dog is on his way!!!! I am looking forward to not working.

We'll talk when we get home.....Boom! Outahere.
