Living Weighted Blanket

 Good morning,

Look carefully to see our daughter, Catherine, under her 130 pound heated weighted blanket. 

 Lap space is limited for Wendy and Elsa who just have to cuddle Catherine when she gets home.

It's a Cake!

 Good morning,

Catherine sent me this picture from our dog club.  It's a cake in celebration of an AKC Grand Agility Champion Title!

What artistry!  That's just too pretty to eat!

Beautiful!  Congratulations!

Lily the Social Butterfly

 Good morning,

Our new baby, Lily, is quite the social butterfly.  She's visiting with lots of friends and going to lots of places.

 The lady holding Lily in the image above is our friend Susan Ball.  Image credit goes to our daughter, Catherine.

Lily loves people and is so very happy meeting more and more of them.

Sonic's New Title

 Good mornning,

Catherine helps train her friend's dogs at our dog club and also runs them in agility trials.  Here she's receiving a ribbon for a new title for Sonic.

Sonic belongs to Catherine's friend Linda Macke and Catherine just helped him complete his Open Jumpers With Weaves Title.  

That's our daughter, Catherine, on the left, and AKC Judge Jen Young on the right.

Congratulations to all!

Visiting Robin

 Good morning,

Here's a switch from all of the puppy images I've been posting lately.  

We still have plenty of activity at our bird feeder outside our living room doors. 

 This pretty little robin was as interested to look at us as we were at her.

Sweet!

Best Friends

 Good morning,

We are carefully monitoring the socialization between our baby Lily and our older pups, Erik, Wendy, and Elsa.  

Fourteen year old Erik is good with pups, but he's slower to move and stiff so doesn't interact more than to watch and monitor activities.  Nine year old Wendy is still not sure about this puppy thing, but is becoming more involved with Lily.  On the other hand, four year old Elsa was thrilled with the new puppy and they are best friends already sharing toys, zoomies, and naps.  

Lily is fearless.  She was born to a breeder who socializes her pups with her older dogs and people at appropriate ages.  Our breeder, Alicia, also provides a large variety of toys, activities, and venues for the pups and even has them mostly potty trained before they go home to their furever homes. 

 It's not always easy to catch videos of these pups, but here are a couple of them.

 Enjoy!

Every Inch Must Be Explored

 Good morning,

Our inquisitive new puppy, Lily, must explore every inch of her surroundings. 

 She discovered a tiny ant walking across the patio...

 ...and carefully tracked it...

 ...until it was suddenly nap time.
