The Park!

The Pond!

Yesterday I decided to take the puppies to the pond to play off leash. They were so cute swimming and running around. On our way back to the car they decided to run through dried fox tails....which get stuck in dogs fur, in between their tows, and in their ears, they have been known to cause serious infections, when they get stuck in the skin. My mom and I sat at home for at least an hour pulling foxtails out of their poodle hair. :/ Not fun!

Penny's First Beach Day

April 8th was Penny's first trip to the beach. We went to a beach where there were a lot of other friendly dogs chasing balls and swimming. Penny did NOT like the ocean at first, the huge waves crashing on shore scared her. After I went in (only knee deep, cause it's so cold) she decided that it wasn't so bad after all. After only 10 min. she was exhausted and slept on the beach right next to me while I layed out in the warm sun. ;)

Buzz

Buzz is one if the Labradoodles, that I have been training over the last month or so, to become a Service Dog. At first he was very very shy, and I didn't think that he could ever be a Service Dog. I didn't give up on him though and kept working to build his confidence. He is starting to really warm up to me, and I am starting to fall in love with him. He is so gentle and loving, it's easy to just hangout with him. He is definitely going to be a "Gentle Giant".
