Back To Training

Back To Training

I have explained our training dilemmas with Tipsy and I was posed with the challenge by a dear friend to work with her for 10 minutes every day and that should get her inspired to walk on a lead for us. Leave it to me to accept that challenge than wait until two days...

Miss Indépendant

Little Miss Olive has spent every night this week with the other puppies and away from her mommy. Bubba handle the transition perfectly and clearly, little Miss Independent Olive did as well. Not a single issue and actually the largest weight gain to date – She...

Her Spot

As I mentioned, Olive tuckers out well before the rest of the puppies and that’s just fine with me. We haven’t had a  single sugar drop from her and clearly she is a participating member of the “No Sugar Drops for Olive Club”. She is getting...
The Dead Balloon

The Dead Balloon

Da Balloon

Da Balloon

So I had a birthday a few weeks back and the traditional helium balloon as gifted to me. It usually stays clipped to my desk for me to enjoy thorough the month. We are nearing the slow death my balloon, bringing the ribbons lower to the ground and in the...
She Did It

She Did It

…Bubbles was SO right! We have been allowing Olive to hang with the others for short periods of time, usually ending the visit once her barks and snarls reach a point where they sound VERY angry. Today I really watched as these same sounds came out of her...
