    We decided to spruce things up and fix some things under the hood. If you notice any issues, feel free to contact us as we're sure there are a few things here or there that we might have missed in our upgrade.

Dog parkour - it's a thing

It's so funny he now hops onto elevated surfaces without being told. I stopped earlier to fix my leash and he climbs on a platform lol. Now I know what sjdavenport is talking about haha.
Haha, see? Rhaegar loves putting his two front feet up on anything and everything now, and then looks at me like "did you see this? Did I do good?"

I know right. It was so funny when it happened. He's like okay I know what to do, now where's my chicken!!

Here's a pic of the thing he climbed on. At the same time I thought my camera was dying. I thought the lens had cracked as the moisture didn't dissipate, but it's okay now, weird.

Hmm. Sometimes it's so humid here that it can take like 20 minutes or so for the moisture on my camera lens to dissipate (which is SUPER frustrating). Hopefully something like that was just the cause.

Looks really awesome! I should probably work with Rhaegar on waiting to hop off of obstacles that I get him to walk across. He usually makes an assumption about when we're done and hops off. His wave is really cute - he definitely knew what was up, lol.

Thanks! He's getting better at walking on stuff hah.

It would be a bit too hazardous to do outdoors here right now, but would love to try it with Tali in the spring. Wherever you guys are, it's a wee bit warmer than here. I was all happy that it was nice out today here...snowing and blowy but warmed up to -10c, so pretty warm for February here...

It doesn't get too cold in the pacific northwest. It just rains A LOT. Rain is not going to stop us!

Same here. I really think Jiggers would enjoy the challenge. I can't imagine Kryten being willing to put out the effort but might try it with him too.

Yay, Rhaegar qualified for his Novice Parkour title! Ok, the email actually came like 6 days ago, but I never checked it, lol. On to Intermediate!

That is so exciting!!! I can't even tell you how bad our spring fever is... I think it's 32 degrees today, so definitely able to get a walk in, but not any up, on or over, lol.

Haha! Yes, 32 F. That is warm, compared to negative temps we've had for a few weeks. Still to slippery for jumping and stuff, unfortunately.

So we set out the other day to just go for a walk in the park and do some 2 feet up practice on any and everything... Yogi got tired of 2 feet up on this thing and jumped right up here... I was nervous he did that, but I guess it's kind of a thing after you start Parkour that the dogs just start doing stuff. Once he sat down and held a "wait" I decided to take a pic



Here's an actual 2 feet up



And a Lillie, who didn't want to be left out
