Way to go!
We are so proud of Emma and her Mom! Emma just qualified in Agility for the first time. It’s a tough sport requiring that both you and your dog work together as your dog completes different tasks off lead at your direction. Some of the tasks include going through a low tunnel, up and down a teeter trotter, and jumping through a tire. At any given moment your dog has the opportunity to thrill you or embarrass you to death, it’s not for the faint of training heart. Emma is loved by big sis Paris!
It happened again, I received a desperate call from a dog owner that had arranged to leave her pup with a friend, two days before she was due to leave on a 7 day vacation, the friend decided to go on vacation and left with a “Sorry, I’m sure you can find someone….” AHHHHAG! Folks, just a reminder this happens a lot especially around the holidays. This often happens when pups are left with friends that don’t have a dog so they fail to realize that they are not making a casual commitment. A June puppy looks a lot different in December. If your friend offers to keep your pup make sure they understand it is not a light commitment and then consider a back-up plan. Of-course ,you all leave your pups with me and we all know I never go anywhere (this is changing!!) but it’s just a reminder as we move into the holiday season. By the way have you sent me your holidog dates!?!
What’s barking at camp? Sherman with his ears hanging low and his brother are here for a visit. Sherman is a Basset and Louie is a pug. We love their summer visits and hope there family is having fun in D.C. Somi a new puppy camper is here for the first time. This cutie loves to pounce; I am beginning to think this puppy baby is perhaps part kitty. This past weekend we had Sami, Somi, and Sam followed by Rufus, Ruby, and Rudy. Really! Uncle Arrow showed up today, one of our first ever campers. Uncle Arrow will chase you away barking if you try to take his picture, I have always wondered if perhaps he was part of the witness protection program. However we love him quirks and all! In fact we love him because of his quirks, not in spite of them.
My campers spend lots of time in the pool and then surround me like sharks and nudge me back inside where they can enjoy the air conditioning. A dip in the pool, a snack, followed by a snooze. Camp is GOOD!
Hope you are too!
