These are my friends Rick Caran & Jilli Dog. After seeing the blog about the potato soup Rick called me up to see if there was any left. He & Jilli came over to sample some. Rick is a silk floral designer by trade, but for the past few years he has really focused on training an amazing Yorkie named Jilli. By way of the Internet, You Tube, pet conventions, trade magazines, and spots on many T.V. programs, they have become internationally known.
Jilli performs many adorable tricks including playing basketball. But she is best know for her winning ways with poker! She really knows how to win.
Rick has another dog named Spidey, a Chihuahua. The magical thing about these two dogs is the way that they work together on tricks. Often times Jilli is the one being trained, but Spidey looks on and learns to copy the trick and helps out too.
Here are the two dogs doing a new trick. When Rick gives them the command, they go across the room to a book, and place their paws on the book. Seems simple, but try and get your dog to do that. Another trick Rick has taught Jilli to do is to pull a tissue out of a tissue box and to bring it to someone who has sneezed. The dogs have been encouraged to do tricks with people other than Rick. It makes for an interesting evening if they come for dinner and I have other friends there too. The dogs are always well behaved and welcome.
You will often see Jilli Dog riding inside Rick's coat. Check out Jilli the Poker playing dog
here or on You Tube, and watch Rick train his pets with "Five Minutes a Day" lessons.

Thank you for stopping by and commenting! I love hydrangeas too although it's not as easy to grow them in SoCal as it was in Oregon.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to seeing more of Jarvis House!
Excellent post!
ReplyDeleteSee you have a blog visitor other than me.

You highlight the word and then hit the chain thing where the picture etc icons are. and write in the URL
Happy posting
Hi Lori,
ReplyDeleteI am visiting via Elizabeth's blog which I have only just found out about recently too. Welcome to the addictive world of blogging! Jilli dog is so sweet and obviously very clever.
You have a beautiful home and garden. I am impressed with your 12 month garden. I am not so good at that although there are some tenacious little geraniums out there still in flower and some kind of small shrub with red berries. Roll on the spring in my garden!
Hi Loir -
ReplyDeleteYou blog is great. I am enjoying reading it. Thanks for listing my blog on your sidebar. I am going to add your blog to my sidebar tonight!
Linda
