Practice and games

This morning we used our lovely office space for a combination of skills practice and fun.

Wookee, Lucca, and Rosie practice passing by a box containing a piece of cheese.  Good dogs!

Feeling artsy-craftsy

Our nearly annual meeting at Michael's Arts and Crafts started with a little show-and-tell.  Raisers were asked to bring their preferred shampoos and brushes (or photos thereof) to share tips with the newer members of the group.  With so much knowledge between us, it's only fair to spread the wealth of our experience.  (A raiser would later remark:  "I didn't think the shampoo thing was going to be very interesting, but it was!"  Full disclosure...your AC didn't find the idea scintillating, either, but was pleasantly surprised.)

Darkness provides another variable for our "greetings" practice.
