Presto - Latigo's Kiss of the Snitch

08/15/2022

Some people say I'm not serious about FastCATs, I have to disagree. During the Summer Olympics, I earned a new Personal Best of 7.646 seconds, 26.75 mph. I'm one run away from my FCAT!! So close!!

06/21/2021

This was super fast and fun. I didn't know why I was getting all these cookies so I started offering tricks!

06/04/2021

Even though I pull off course during my CABTs (600 yards is a LONG way to go), I still had a blast at the memorial day trial hosted by TSA. Mom even ran with me to help me finish!
I still completed my FCATS willingly and speedy as ever, clocking in at 25 mph.

Im still 1 q away from my CA title (Because I refuse to finish)
And Im 117.85 points away from my DCAT

Today we are at Norman VA playing frisbee with the disc dogs. Well since Presto has a missing, bleeding nail, she's not playing with the big dogs. Instead, we are visiting with the veterans.

Well an elder man in a wheelchair rolls up with a woman and asks to see my pup. I take Presto out of the kennel and she says Hi. He asked why she was wearing a cone and I explained her injury to him. The man was very concerned about Presto at the moment, telling me I needed to bandage it up. At first I told him that she was okay.

He disappeared for a while but shortly returned behind me and stood up from his wheelchair. Holding out his hand, he handed me a handful of bandaids of different shapes, again insisting that Presto have one on her toe. Sure enough, I told him okay and pulled Presto out and propped her up so he could see me attach one of his bandaids to Presto's foot.

When I looked up, he had a smile on his face and said "thank you for putting it on." Of course, Presto just looked at me as if saying, 'Really?'
Presto then went over to him and told him thank you for her fancy wrappings and got on his lap to truly show her appreciation.

My heart swelled from seeing this. This made this man's entire day and he way happy to see I was taking care of little Change-O.

We are cleared by doc!
Had to have my nail completely removed. Bandaged for a couple more days then fresh healing from there.
No frisbee or herding for a while though!

05/08/2018

Ripped most my toenail off. Going to have the vet remove the rest of it tomorrow and get antibiotics. I was told I have to leave it wrapped and not to mess with it...
This hurts...
And now no frisbee or herding till its healed.

04/22/2018

Played frisbee in the rain today! This was new to me but still a lot of fun =D
Thanks to the photographer for risking her camera for some awesome photos!

04/10/2018

Here's our herding lesson from yesterday. We were working on flanking =)

04/08/2018

We went with our usual outing partners, a golden and his handler. He was excited and ready to see people. But Presto seemed just to herself. We were standing talking to a woman, but Presto kept wanting to leave. I excused us and followed Presto to a lady that was leaning up against the wall in the hallway. P immediately sat and raised a paw high (what i call her wave). I did not cue this behavior but she was offering for a strange. It made me smile. The kind lady asked for her name, age, breed, what Presto does on her off time, everything. We talked up a storm over Presto and she smiled and gave a chuckle or two.

Presto stood tall in front of her so not to put her feet on her legs. The woman leaned down took Prestos face in her hands and gave her nose a kiss; all the while, P's nub was going nuts and you could see the sparkle in both pairs of eyes that stared at eachother.

A few seconds had passed with the two of them smiling at eachother before a door across the hall opened.
A younger lady stepped out and smiled at Presto. She looked at me and told me she could hear me explaining tricks and asked if I minded showing her mom. Her mom was on oxygen and couldn't get up from her recliner in the room. We couldnt go in so we stood in the doorway to perform.
We went through our normal routine. Started with a wave and a shy, did a couple fancy things and ended with a proper bow. I looked into the room now and then and the elder woman in the chair had a big smile and was laughing. At the end, she clapped for Presto and told us thank you for the show. I had Presto wave goodbye and say hi to the daughter before we left.

We made a few more rounds with our other team members. But Presto had had enough upon entering the other side of the building. She had gotten nervous with someone getting loud and anxious. We called it quits for the day and we all left. Always read your pup and end before its too much! When we got to the lobby, she relaxed and looked at me with her crooked "I did it" grin.
And with that, we were happy for the hearts we had touched.

A year ago yesterday, i came home to my mommas, big sisters and brother.
I have done so much within the 10 months of living with them.
Ive traveled to other states, I've earned trick titles and herding titles, I have my CGC.

Today spent time with Grammy Mindy, helping my friend pick out a new puppy. Here is our 1 year picture with Grammy to show how much I've grown.

For some reason my belly hurts... I remember waking up this morning and then waking up again to see Brandy at Meeker Animal Hospital. Then momma came and she picked me up to take me home. Im super dizzy and tired, and when I got out of the car, I pottied. I would walk 3 or 4 steps, then stop to sit and cry before being encouraged to walk some more.
Mom wouldnt let me jump into my kennel. She picked me up. Now its just time to sleep...

10/25/2017

I went herding on Sunday for my birthday! We dressed up to have some fun. First pups to herd in tutus at Latigo Farm.
Thanks Lolli for pictures! And thanks Grammi for inviting all the Latigo Pups!

10/21/2017

I was born about 5:20, this day last year. And here I am, a big girl celebrating her first birthday. Momma took me to PetSmart and Momma Rae got me a squirrel and some birthday cookies!
It's been a great day.
