The Rhamey's First Thanksgiving

We celebrated this Thanksgiving with Mama and Papa Ackerman and the whole Nix (Mom’s side) family, including one of the newest members, Lacey Nix (age 22 months).

Holding Grandma’s “Famous” Chocolate Cake, which I made, but not quite as well – six layers is a lot, people. Sweet Lacey in her PJ's & Ready for Bedaka our entertainment for the evening Patrick liked playing with the Tinker Toys more than Lacey did. He made an airplane, but Lacey wasn't really impressed (except when the fire truck pushed it). Now that was cool.

Watching the AMAZING fire truck

Lacey loves to “PLAY!” Lacey had a chocolate cake snack before going to bed What happens when you tell a tired 2 year old “no more chocolate cake?”
"Nooooo!"

Hank the Puppy is a Very Bad Puppy

Yesterday during our first group lesson, Hank got Puppy Jail (aka the kennel). Not only did he growl at one of the other dogs, but he just would not behave when it was time for him to do the obstacles, instead running over to the other dogs to play. He is now known as the “Felon” of the class (but he did better after he got out of Jail). By the way, Dagny is a weave poll prodigy - the best in the class!

The Ron Paul Revolution

Ron Paul has broken the record for the amount of money raised in one day by a political candidate (and the amount of money raised online). He raised over $4.3 million in only 24 Hours!

Agility Puppies

Dagny and Hank have now had three agility lessons, and they are getting a lot better every week. They love doing it and get really excited every time we pull up (it’s pretty fun for us too!) Here are a couple videos of us practicing at the dog park.

This video wasn’t there best run, but it is the best one we filmed. They really do love doing the tunnel, and while we are trying to practice something else, they will run off and go through it over and over again. But, when we put it in the middle of other obstacles, they get confused and don’t want to do it. We don’t really get it, but they are learning fast so I bet they’ll figure it out soon!

Dagny is really good at the weave polls, but we still have to lead her through each time (Hank is OK . . .)
