Thank you Anthony and Harrison for this sweet video of Soleil opening her present! ♥️
Happy birthday Soleil! 🎉🐾💜
Caci - AAC Jumpers clean run April 2024
This is Caci from the Determination Litter. Mom Gloria sent this to me so I could see what a wonderful daughter Hemi has in her.
Gloria shared “Caci is just like her father. The description you gave about him is identical on how she is. Loyal to a fault, reactive to every thing that moves (but with lots of training & maturity she is getting better) loving to everyone she meets & very mischievous. Love her to the moon & back. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🐾”
Thank you Gloria ♥️ Watching you and Caci bring smiles to my heart. 🙏🏻
Caci, the Agility Havanese
Caci & momma Gloria went to a starters trial a few months ago (life has been crazy here) where they did 4 runs and she did great Qualifying in 2 of them. Just missed the jumpers Q by taking the tire instead of a jump. Gloria said “I could not be prouder of her we still have so much to learn & train but we are back on track. I kept up with the day very well & I have 80% of my stamina back. If I stay at this level we will be very happy. I sent the Snooker run today she was brilliant. She also qualified in the advanced Gambler run for her first Q on the intermediate level.”
Caci was 2 in October 2023 and the video is from Nov 2023.
Proud of Gloria and Caci, then and now ♥️♥️♥️
Kathy is getting Celeste ready for her Vegas experience. 🎲 🃏 🪄
Teaching a dog is all tricks and nothing other than tricks to them ♥️
Caught on video
It’s one thing to take a nose dive in private, however having dad catch it on video for everyone to see is downright embarrassing. Lol!! Poor Ryder 💙
For those concerned about the limp after the tumble, Anthony assures us that it was a sympathy bid. Smart boy 😜
Canela the gymnast
Olivia also sends this video and says “Canela has to wear a diaper at our house because she and Zuma have a marking competition when they’re together, and Canela thinks she can’t move when she’s wearing them, so she does things like this” 😂
Zuma having a temper tantrum 🤣
Olivia says “I’m not sure why I thought giving her words was a good idea” 😂😂.
Cori got a new puzzle in her gifts this year. Smart little girl 😉♥️ I told Andrea she got that from her momma Mirage 😜 Merry Christmas from our house to yours.
Some very difficult manoeuvres for little Caci. Excellent guidance by momma Gloria 🐾♥️
Caci and momma Gloria are just about trial ready! Pretty awesome for a 2 year old little Havi 🐾🥰

Penny discovers her tail
Cindy sent this video fairly recently of Penny (aka Indigo). Such a silly puppy ♥️
We later did some more down and back focus work with Soleil and you can see she’s quite comfortable until the stranger invaded our space unexpectedly. As soon as I finished filming, we stopped for a moment for the employee to take a moment to help create a positive experience.
I am so impressed with the young lady as she got down to Soleil’s level, and when Soleil wouldn’t approach (after all, this stranger just startled us and Soleil has begun her second fear stage), the young woman placed a treat away from her which Soleil accepted. The next one was even closer and the last from her fingers.
We then continued exploring the store while confidence continues to grow. ♥️
Today Soleil came with me shopping. It’s her first time out in several weeks and to a place she’s never been before.
When we first arrived to Blackfalds Pet Valu, there was a large breed dog that focused on her. It’s important that she knows that she can trust me to keep her safe and I held her in my arms, staying in the area of the other dog so she could observe without stress. When the customer and their dog left (yes she asked if the two could meet…I pretended I didn’t hear her), Soleil went down and got a chance to explore the store. Her leash was loose and only when we passed the freezer making noises, did she try to avoid.
Notice how we didn’t make a fuss over it, nor did we walk her past it several times to desensitize her to it. That just causes more stress. Instead we moved to an area close by and focused on something else.
For those wondering about Dolly….here’s our busy girl!!! I can sure tell she is Paris’s sister 🤣
Thank you Gloria for the permission to share this video of you and 21 month old Caci running an AAC Snooker course. Super proud of you both 🐾💕
