Pat and Micki - A Journal

Training a Border Terrier to be calm, relaxed and yet alert enough not to sleep through her visits to our oldest and youngest friends is a serious challenge.  Some dogs hardly even need training - the instinct is already there.  Now, Micki on the other hand, taught me that anything this important needs to be done well, so we learned from the best instructor we could find.  Oh, yes, there were also obedience classes that were required - terriers plus obedience? 

Through all of our classes, Micki never lost her sense of humor, even if I did, on occasion.  She was three years old when we passed our first Delta Society 'evaluation'.   

We have been very busy for the past two years, visiting senior citizens' centers, the Children's Museum, and three busy Ramsey County libraries.  We like our busy schedule!
