  My how time flies! It has really flown by since May of 2011 with the new addition to our little pack. This is the first glimpse I saw of the dog that would start mending my broken heart. He came from a dear weight pull friend. He is a two year old American Pit Bull Terrier named Booger. He had spent the first part of his life in his 10x10 kennel and running a 2 acre field.

Booger aka  Cooper's Digging For Gold, needed to learn everything. We started with leash manners then, sit and down. Booger started out as I would expect, a little unsure of his surroundings and not confident in himself. As I took him to classes that I was teaching you can see just how much he has changed. His confidence growing not only in the home and training area but also on the weight pull track.  Here are some pictures taken the past few months showing the change in this fantastic dog.








In this picture you can see that he really isn't too sure about having his picture taken. My little camera shy guy.


















Last potty stop on the way home. Getting to know Ms Chula too.













First weight pull training session.















 Booger's first toy. He wasn't sure if I was going to take it away from him or not.













Booger beginning to get in shape as well as discovering the art of treeing a squirrel.


GET IT BOY!!!


Notice Ms. Chula getting in the picture. No we haven't forgotten about her at all.










His first APA show. Not sure of what it's about, but we have plenty of time to learn.













Booger last week at work. He has been so much fun. He has a personality of sheer goofiness. I don't think I have ever laughed at a dog as much as I laugh at this one. He is a loyal, hardworking companion. He will never be a Hondo, but he is Booger and he has made his own way into my heart. Not as a replacement, but making his own place right along side the dog who will forever live in my heart.

Thank you Cody Cooper for this fantastic goofball of a dog.

Proud Moment


Today I recieved a plain brown envelope in the mail. To my surprise Chula recieved a medal for the IWPA regional 80 pound weight group. All the hard work we put in last year has paid off. Hours of pulling on hot south Texas mornings, miles of pulling a drag sled has shown in her performance. While we started this sport as a way to tire out my crazy lab mix. After going to our first weight pull show we were hooked. She is now registered with IWPA and the UKC. We only need one more pull for her to title in IWPA and one more pull to title with the UKC. I'm so proud of my black dog.
