And here she is in the tall weeds that were supposed to be the garden....

And here is Maddy the Hunter in the backyard....

And here is Maddy with Roger - her constant companion during the daytime as he works at home on the computer... he takes breaks throughout the day to take her for a walk for training. She really looks forward to a romp through the park! Gives them the time to bond together too!

Madison is in a training class to improve her socialization - and has learned a LOT about how to walk on a leash and sit. We're still working on her behavior with strangers - she is VERY protective of the family, and with her excellent hearing and natural quick responses, she needs to learn that not all strangers are the enemy!

Maddy has learned how to recognize various commands for getting toys - she knows the difference between a ball and her favorite chew-toy - the squeaking cloth Mr. Cat. She will go and get them when prompted - MOST of the time. She is also getting quite good at catching toys while they are still in the air. Time to work on the frisbees!
