Hi Everyone! I don't want to bore you - so let's get to the fun stuff - I live in Bend,
Oregon along with my incredible husband, our dog-loving-cat "Tasha", and our newest addition to the family, "RooPurt" - a rescued Dane that
we adopted on May 16, 2008 in Beaverton, Oregon. I have finally added pictures =) - Wow, I didn't realize I had not updated this since we adopted him.
Geesh, so much has happened. We completed Petsmart classes and I think they were happy to have us out of there as we were still dealing with the aggressive
behavior toward other dogs. We began taking Roo to the dog park, on the outside looking in so he could observe dogs playing together, something he just never
did due to a bad background. Someone was watching over us, because one time that we were there, we were introduced to Dennis Fehling, a dog trainer who
immediately picked up on a lot of signs from RooPurt and a three minute analysis that he was not dog aggressive, instead he was dog phobic - afraid of other
dogs. We set up our first session with Dennis, his wife and one of their awesome pitbulls, Beau. Five and a half hours later, taking it one foot at a time,
RooPurt got to 29 feet from Beau. Our second session, although starting a bit back from where we left off got us up to 16 feet, we have had a lot of snow and
unable to make that third session. We look forward to it though!
Other stuff - I'm a military brat - grew up everywhere and am very appreciative of the opportunity. The farthest place was Japan, which I loved and hope to
go back again with my husband. I love Central Oregon and the lifestyle here.
I still can't think of anything interesting....
