Thanks! One of my favorites. You probably have to zoom in or be looking for it, but she’s watching my other dog churning her way out into god knows where. That’s Loch Raven Reservoir in suburban Baltimore, which came as a huge surprise to me - beautiful and empty. @Dung_Beetle : this summer… [stay out of the water](https://imgur.com/a/NRdjBHa) (I think I can’t embed this one because it’s a video) ---

Kizzy is growing like a weed, and kicking butt with her training. My gf has been teaching her to respond to non-verbal commands. Last night they put on a little display. Not a word spoken, but Kizzy sat, then laid down, then stayed while gf walked 25 yards away. When gf signed for her to come, Kizzy ran, then went to her side and sat, watching for her next command. They did a few more things like this. Since there are no spoken commands, Kizzy watched my gf attentively awaiting her next command. It was very cool. ETA: my gf enjoys training so much she actually looked into leaving advertising and getting into dog training. It would involve a ~$130,000 drop in pay, however. ☹ ---

She’s a Loki Variant, all right. ---

OMG, wish me luck. Tonight is Kizzy’s obedience class. My gf just messaged me that she has a work commitment that she cannot get out of. I have to take Kizzy to class. She pointed out that it’s OK if Kizzy doesn’t perform 100% tonight, as the other people will feel less intimidated. I think that’s what they call “throwing shade”. ---

Ooooo…interesting. Do report back. No matter how humiliating the tale you have to tell. We’ll still like you. We’ll definitely still like Kizzy. ---

Well, I was a little nervous, but Kizzy was great! There were twelve puppies in the class. Two were _bad_! Kizzy was one of three very good pups. Loki helped me by playing hard with Kizzy, tiring her out a bit. [![Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/wUrVxcG.jpeg "imgur.com") ](https://imgur.com/wUrVxcG) Kizzy was proud of how well she did in class.

[![Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/lGG1YAc.jpeg "imgur.com") ](https://imgur.com/lGG1YAc) So, Kizzi is exhausted after a busy weekend. But the good news is her DNA results are in from Wisdom. Any guesses on her top 4 breeds? I got two correct, many people got one. Nobody among my friends/family guessed more than two correct.
