Happy Easter!

Two things. . . :) First, Whitley and I went to a local museum with fellow GEB pup Narissa, and her raiser. :) We went specifically to see the dinosaur part of the museum and the dogs did great! They were awesome working together and Whitley didn't show any fear of the dinosaurs which was awesome. :) After we were at the museum for about 2 hours we walked the dogs outside on the sidewalk down to the "big" city by where we live. Again the dogs did really good. Whitley's LLW was amazing! She was distracted by the pigons some :P and she did try to sniff a lot, but she got over that. :)

Second, tomorrow is Easter!!! I probably won't get around to posting tomorrow so I decided to post today. :) So.... HAPPY EASTER!!!! :D

Navy dress up time :)

I love to dress up my dogs as something fun to do, and it is also a great training exercise. The dogs have to be fine with body handling and wearing things so, when dressing them youa re doing body handling, and then when they wear things like shirts they get use to having things on their back. :)

I always dress my dogs up in Navy clothes. My brother is in the Navy and it's become a tradition :) Halsa is ready to set sail!

Whitley all dressed as a Navy girl :)

Walking on April 7th

On April 7th Cindy and I took Halsa and Diana for a walk around town. Halsa did OK. She was distracted some by Diana and also by the smells on the sidewalk, but all-in-all she did great. :) We stopped to take some pictures :)
