Leaving for vacation

Well today was a sad day dropping Nala off with Alisons family for our trip. We are going to spend 9 days in St Thomas in the Caribbean for some much needed fun! Although we are super pumped about the trip, it was very sad leaving Nala, she has never gone that long without seeing me, and this is only the second time that I have left and she hasnt seen me every day :(  It will all be okay though, and I will post some pictures from the trip and some new pictures of Nala when I get back. I wont be bringing a computer or hardly anything electronic so I will update when I return. Good bye North Carolina!

Nala just hanging out with my roomate.

Out of all of Nala's good habits, she still has one terrible one. She loves to chase the cat Karma. I can tell her to sit and stay and she will listen but will not take her eyes off of her. Its not that she wants to hurt her she just gets a thrill out of chasing her and barking at her. I have tried almost everything if anyone has any ideas please share but I think its going to come down to Karma just getting one good claw in on Nala and then she won't ever get messed with again. It would be pretty funny to have a cat pack leader :). Anyways, I have been sick for the past few days and Nala has been lots of company. Hopefully I will get better before Alison and I head off for St. Thomas! 

Back to continue posting.

Sorry for the break. Things have been pretty busy but now I am going to start posting more regularly. I will continue to update about the past couple months. A few days ago we took Nala into the pet store and we walked by a container of pig ears. Nala took one of the pig ears and bee lined for the door and then sat there like "ok lets go." Needless to say she got a new treat that she devoured before we got to the car. She is doing really well with her training and can now Sit, Lay down, Stay, Wait (put a treat in front of her face or on her paw and she wont touch it until she is told to get it), Come, and Drop. I will post a few picture of our hiking experiences with her and her pack sometime this week.
