Twister and the girls

I bought the Nina Ottosson game called Twister. I have had it out about 4 or 5 times since I got it. Here are some videos of both girls playing with it. Taari is seven years old and Nessa is 9 months.





I can think of a few reasons why they are different when they play it (and why Nessa is better at it). It could be their personalities. Nessa is more thoughtful. It could also have been that I helped Taari out too much when I was training her initially and she hasn't been trained to think as much as Nessa. It could also have been some of the games that I played with Taari when she a puppy. For example the door stop makes a noise no matter how you hit it. Perhaps I should play more of these games with Taari to get her to think more.

New spring agility jacket

Since it is spring I decided to get another agility jacket from Discovery Trekking Outfitters (DTO) in Campbell River, B.C. This time I got a jacket made from a light weight Wind Pro fabric. It is the same style as my black winter jacket. I chose the same features - hood, back pocket for toys and reflective piping.

Nessa at 4 months

Here are some pictures of Nessa at the age of 4 months. She is 13 7/8 inches tall and 14 lbs.

Nessa growing up

Nessa has grown quite a bit since I first got her. Nessa and Taari are about the same size now and Nessa is only 17 weeks. Nessa and Taari have become best buddies. They love to play with each other and occasionally Nessa will cuddle up with Taari when she is sleeping. I am conscious of the fact that I do not want Nessa to bond more closely with Taari than with me but it great to see them having so much fun together.

Happy Holidays
