Took the pup's to J's to meet Henry. It kept being too cold and I was worried we would wait too long and Henry would tower over the Jacks. At 3 above we didn't play outside too much. The original meeting went well. Pix was her usual growly self. Wyatt kept his distance. He hates being stepped on. There were a couple of blow ups but over all it went well.

We watched the DVD of Josie's schooling show, laughing and learning as we did. The pups managed to find toys to their liking. Wyatt systematically emptied the toy box and gutted a few of the weaker seamed toys. We will have to bring a replacement toy(s) next time we visit.

It was interesting to watch Pixie come to Wyatt's aid and run interference between him and Henry. After a while they totally became buddies. Playing a bit. I think Henry learned a lot today. Little dogs should be respected and it is okay to give and take toys. Pretty funny to see Wy pull him off balance when tugging with the stuffless fox.

Decided it should be bath night when we got home. I love the smell of clean puppies.

I have now taken two days off of riding and will ride Sunday. I managed to start up my exercises again. I think I can tell the difference already. My right leg was getting muscles cramps when I was riding and I noticed a greater tightness when stretching. Must keep exercising.

J borrowed me a couple of books - 101 Schooling Exercises and another by Klaus. I can't wait to absorb.
