Lyla had her first game of the spring soccer season this past Saturday, but with the cold temps and snow flurries it felt a lot more like winter soccer than spring soccer. All her games this season are at 8 AM, so it is a bit of a challenge getting everyone out of the house by 7:30, but Lyla was very excited for her game and had fun regardless of the cold.
We caught a bit of a happy face celebration after scoring a goal, then at the end of the game she got some warm hugs from her sissy. Lyla had tried out and made a developmental academy for girls her age in Loudoun County. The program is a lot more structured than the recreational league, and while we miss her friends from the old team, she is so enthusiastic to go to practices, is meeting new friends, and often says how much she loves it, so we’re happy that she’s happy!
Nina has continued to work on her tumbling skills. Her biggest hurdle to cross initally was doing a roundoff back handspring. It was something she had worked towards and was so proud to complete. Since then, she got to doing the running roundoff back handspring without the “safety net” of a spotter nearby (a big step for Nina), and now she’s working towards her double backhandspring. You can take a look here to see what she’s working towards: https://youtu.be/OX4hMLh0M4E. As with Lyla, we’re happy that she is having fun, enjoys what she’s doing and is working hard.
The baby dog contiunes to provide us with plenty of entertainment. It seems in my life I’m plauged by dogs who love hair things. When I was a teenager and we had Cobi, she loved to steal my scrunchies. I had a basket of them that I kept in my room, and she would love to sneak in, steal a scrunchie (of course she made sure I saw her), then would dart off to Bo’s room where she hid under the bed and against the wall where I couldn’t reach her.
It’s come back around with Cayenne. Cayenne LOVES hair bands. She steals them all the time, and just like Cobi, she’ll wait until I see her to take off running with one. Just the other day, I saw her run off with something, but when I approached her, clearly she was hiding it (picture on the left). So I asked her what she was hiding and what resulted was the picture on the right. Such a little rascal!
In other dog news, if you’ve never lived with a talkative dog, here’s a little sneak peak at what life with a talkative Vizsla can be like. When she has something to say, she makes sure to get her point across!
I’d love to know what she really means with all that “talking”: https://youtu.be/eNbln8BYXaA
