Home ed just isn't working..

for rogue-well you didn't think I meant sam did you? He is as happy as larry at home and has declared that he wants to be home educated for college too! Me thinks not! Anyway, try as we might we can't seem to help rogue with his dog aggression issues so we have turned to Rachaael at www.aknak9.com for help. She is a local dog trainer, breeder and dog behavorist. She breeds American Innuits and they are just beautiful. Her alpha female Cheyanne has been helping rogue with getting to know other dogs. Our first session last week was a bit tense and we were glad that rogue had a muzzle on but by the end of the session they had reached a from of entent cordiale. After one to one time rogue and miko and the three of us joined the agility class. Both dogs did really well considering it was their first time, though we humans had a few problems with going around the course! Sam took miko on the last lap and she was definately in charge-poor guy practically flew round thecoanturse-but he loved it. We are going to train with Rachael once a week and hopefully this will help rogue with his issues. We just want him to be happy and he seems very frustrated that he doesn't know how to play with anyone but miko.

Schooling for the monster is going well-we are now on to long division and the 8 times tables. We have started a month long experiment involving corn and beans which he is excited about. We are going to carry on working over the summer but at a much more relaxed pace to allow us to visit with schooled friends and go on days out.

He is very excited at the moment as he is going to spend the weekend with his grandparents this weekend and they are taking him to a concert and airshow at duxford. He will get to see his cousins at the concert and he can't wait to talk star wars with benjamin. Matt and are going out for a belated anniversary lunch on sat which will be nice. I will really miss my little guy but I know that he is going to have lots of fun.
