Every dog has his day. Today it's Sherman
Sherman, as you may recall, is my sister's dog. Sherman and my dog took obedience classes together about a year ago. Although he's about a year younger than my dog, Sherman came in first place, while my stupid dog came in last.
A recent humuliation came when my sister took sherman to visit our parents. My mother couldn't stop talking about what a good dog he is. She's never said that about my dog.
To give Sherman an even bigger ego, my sister recently enrolled him in agility training.
Here's a picture of the little jerk.
Yeah, he's pretty cute, even if he consistenlty has to put my dog in his place (come to think of it, that's exaclty what my sister did when we were in elementary school!)
Anyway, here's a little something my sis wrote about the experience. I promised I'd post this weeks ago, but I'm a lazy cuss and am now just getting around to it.
Sherman is almost 1 1/2 years old now and has taken classes in Obedience, Rally and Agility. I think he has found his calling in Agility. We still have a lot to learn, but having a great time doing it.
We are taking a course through Torrance Parks and Recreation at Entradero Park. The instructors, Robert, Deb and Kelly are absolutely wonderful. They are patient, kind, have a wonderful sense of humor, are great motivators, and best of all, they are generous with the cheese. We have just completed out first session and have registered for the next session of classes. In the picture, you can see Sherman on the dog walk
Sherman has made previously appearances at South Bay Pets. If you want, you can click on these links to see more. And by "you," I mean my sister and her dog friends,
Sherman's first day.

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
