Zoe Swims!

 
      Zoe came for an overnight.  It was time to get her into the water, so off we went to Sergeant Camp and down the peninsula trail where there was a gradual entry into the water.  A kayaker was there to encourage her in, the woman hung around to watch the next 45 minutes of wild wet dogs and witnessed Zoe swim for the first time.  In the mean time Willow Sunshine gains confidence in the water :)


Below 1st two photos:

CLEO comes to visit

Cleo came for a two night sleep over this past week.  It was great fun to have her back.  She and Willow Sunshine romped hard, Zoe even came by for a morning.  Cleo and Zoe played for five hours straight, neither one wanted to stop, eventually they passed out on the porch.  A trip to Nuby a few times to teach Cleo to swim and fun in the canoe, land drills getting in and out of the canoe.
Play - Play- Play 




A surprised Cleo after her racing dive head first off the rock going after Pearl.

Willow Sunshine's First Swim!

Saturday, May 12th


     Another Swimmer!  This was our sixth attempt.  On this day she went right in.  I had Nash to retrieve in the event Willow Sunshine did not.  All our stars lined up on this day.  I tossed the bumper and Willow Sunshine went right in with out hesitation and retrieved the bumper.  A natural,  I am so pleased.  She did this about half a dozen times then we went home.   The pick up and turn isn't quite coordinated as she dunks her head and takes on water :)  OH, she was so proud of herself. 

Give it a try.  They will get it.




The photos






She looks so worried and way too cute!

One Swimmer!


"Hey, the good news is we have a SWIMMER!!!      Yes, Terry is very proud.  He (Damon) graduated on Sunday night and then Monday was retrieving the dummies out of the water like crazy."  Chery and Terry with Damon (blue boy) Canada,


We are waiting on the photos!


Rosie at 5 Months

     Here are a few photos of Rosie (Rainbow) at five months.  She looks so adult!  Naturally I loved the descriptions used to describe her :)  This is the norm for all the puppies :) :) :)

 "Rosie is just a dream."
"Could not be fitting in better;  she is very well behaved, loving and playful.""Comes bounding back, ears pinned in a full gallop; She’s so sweet we couldn’t be happier with her."
