Holy cow, she's huge! My sister's is actually on the small side for a St. Her old male was gigantic though. And quite the butthead. He didn't like kids and no body got between him and my sis (except me lol) or he would go after them.

View attachment 71167 I cropped it down to nothing but hopefully you can see the baby plants.
All the leaves are what the wind blew everywhere last night. They are all over the yard as well along with palm fronds. Then of course I had to admonish one of my crew for using a ladder and trimming trees in this wind. They know that ladders and tree trimming are off limits in high winds. His response was, "they were on the schedule to be done."
Come on......not with heavy winds!!
 
WE HAVE SUN, HOORAY!!!!! Lol

Sunbathing inside...

Yay for you! Looks like that boy is taking full advantage of it!! It's cloudy here now, but the sun is rumored to be making appearance around noon...bath and nail trim for Jaxie Boy!...Then he will get the zoomies, go nuts running circles in the yard, and need another bath!!
 
I've been talking about it for months and haven't "taken the leap." Some of it has to do with money (I'm on disability right now, and have VERY limited funds...think I'll be ready to go for the next school year.) I told my trainer that, and she said, in essence, "Get your ass out here with that dog...we will have some free sessions because I want to see that boy, and then you can borrow one of the e-collars I have here until you are in a place to more easily get your own." I really need to do that, but I struggle with seeming like a charity case!! I know she is genuine in her offer, and would not even think twice about it, so I need to swallow a bit of pride. Yesterday made me realize how fun it would be for him to be able to have that freedom...

This trainer sounds like she genuinely wants to see well behaved dogs so I wouldn't think of it as a 'charity case' in the slightest. We had a trainer who would have free obedience classes, open to the public, every Sunday in the summer in a park. She genuinely wanted people to have well trained, socialized dogs. She just recently passed and they had memorial walk for her with in that park. Over 100 people and dogs showed up! I would take your trainer up on this offer ASAP. Then you can also learn if you want to spend the money for an e-collar or if it's not for you guys.
 
Made ourselves trek out to Starved Rock State Park yesterday even though is was a slick, muddy mess and we were ever so slightly hung over (adult birthday parties...). Rubie had a BLAST in the mud and even got to run around one of the canyons off leash a bit (just back and forth recalls). She's been doing wonderfully on the e-collar so far. We've just been working on heel so she get's used to the feeling and we get used to handling the remote. I plan on starting using it for recall this week.

Admiring the scenery:

We use a belt to attach her leash to when hiking. Looks like a puppy umbilical cord:

MUD - it was caked all over her stomach and legs. This warranted a rare bath when we got home:
