Whitley Jane

Well my "little" Whitley isn't so little anymore... she's now almost 9 months old and she weighs 53 pounds! She went into heat on March 12th and she should be done on April 2nd, but.... I don't know if that will happen. Anyway! She is such a wonderful dog and I love her to pieces!

Guess who's coming for a visit?

Halsa (the 3rd puppy I started) is coming for a puppy sit starting tonight! :) She will be here until April 20th! I am soooo happy she is coming!! I can't wait to spend time with her again! :) And I plan to take lots of pictures of my 3rd, 4th, and 5th puppies that I have raised that are currently pups on program. :) Above ^^^ are pictures of Toby when I clipped his nails. :) He is so laid back and "whatever" when I clip his nails. :) I'm proud of him. :) When he gets a little older (and has more self control) I will have him stand, sit, or down in front of me while I clip his nails. The first picture is of Toby when I was done clipping his nails. He just laid there and fell asleep. :) I'm going to post another quick post about Whitley and a picture of my beautiful black girl. :)

Puppy Switch # 1 with Whitley

Whitley went on her first Switch February 16th-21st and she got a GREAT report back!! She got to walk around the city, go to work in an office, and live in a more suburb area. :) I got to have a 11 month old Golden named Ned! He was great! He did have some dog distraction and he pulled some, but he did good. :) Here are some pictures! :)
