And more snow

altivoIt's snowing again. Has been for a couple of hours, fluffy stuff mostly but an inch has accumulated. As long as this goes on, the temperature is not dropping to the nasty level predicted however, so I'll take the snow.
We drove through the snow to go to Red's obedience class. Tonight they played with agility equipment: jumps, the dogwalk|boardwalk, the tunnel, and the table. Then each dog went through the simplified course off leash. Red actually did fairly well. He needs more focus, but he got through all the different items after a try or two. He seemed to like the tunnel and the table, but still has some difficulty with the boardwalk.
One more class left in this sequence, where they will go over the various tests in the Canine Good Citizen certificate. That will be a good exercise in itself. His second class, "Agility Conditioning," starts on Wednesday. In this one they are training the owner as much as the dog, on body language, terminology, and approaches to the utility equipment. Gary will be taking Red by himself, as I have to work on Wednesday evenings, but they should do fine. Red is very easy to take in the car, and remains calm while traveling.
All the mail that backed up during the blizzard is starting to move. I got five book shipments today at work. Four of them are now past me, cataloged, labeled, ready to go. The fifth (and largest) is waiting for tomorrow.
Gary is baking English muffins on the griddle (made from scratch, he's getting quite good at it) and then we can go to bed. I'm ready.
