1 Year Stats

This weekend was officially named Barley's Birfday Weekend. On Saturday, we went to a dog park in Wicker Park where Barley played with a bunch of new dogs. Then today, we took her to an agility demonstration at the Anti-Cruelty Society. She was very excited to be there and was even more excited to get all of the new and interesting treats they had (cheese, hot dogs, etc.).

Barley has come a long way since we first brought her home and took her to train with Jim -- so far in fact that when it came time for us to try the agility course by ourselves AND off-leash, she listened fairly well. We had a few hiccups here and there, but she made it all the way through. It seemed like something that she could be really good at and would probably burn off a lot of that energy she has.

Now, before I get into Barley's 1 year stats, I should say that in addition to all of the fun activities, Barley got two meat cakes today made from leftover flank steak trimmings and rice from Friday's stir fry, topped with shredded carrots and chopped peanuts (see pic in post below). With all the meat cakes and treats, she may have gained a few extra pounds so don't hold it against her...

Our girl has certainly grown since we first brought her home last March. We can't wait to see what she looks like this time next year!
