Self-restraint 101

Phi, Snoopy, and Bear show us their stuff as they wait politely at their respective food bowls.

Big, bad, scary thing

While we never take our trainees on escalators -- their professional trainers give them that skill -- it is advisable that we expose our pups to escalators just by having them sit nearby and observe.  Shilo was not impressed by the JC Penney's escalator that did seem overly clackety.

Ahoy, Jewel

Enjoying a day on the water.  Jewel, our group's matriarch, leaves for campus in just a few weeks.

Let a girl dream

Jewel puts on her best baby-brown eyes to convince Dad to let her be a Weeki Wachee mermaid!

 

Well, that's interesting...

Bear has a unique "puppy encounter" in his neighborhood.

Pleeeease can I play with them?

The baby gate, designed to provide a safe buffer between Shilo and her foster kittens, is no match for a pup with a yearning.  One swift jab of the nose creates the "hopeful" opening on the side.  With kittens who trust her, it works.  The current group hasn't warmed up to her fully, so there was no rush over to investigate that big schnoz.

Pretty girl, pretty sunset

Janny enjoys relaxing on the beach.

Feeling my Independence

Bear poses with Old Glory as he contemplates giving independence to a visually impaired or military handler.

Fun family outing

Alli, Stark, and Janny (L-R) enjoy a fun neighborhood walk.

The pressure is on

Bear thinks that his mom, Sue, might be tantalizing him unfairly with today's distraction at the feed store!

(You're a champ, buddy!)
