Mr. December

At our annual Halloween meeting, our South Bay GDA calendar was released. Previous stars of the calendar have included....

Jetta and Liam

Liam, Voight, and Mika

Tai and Truman

and now, introducing Mr. December....

Tai (in quite possibly the most ridiculous picture ever - we love him!!)

Another One

Today we got postcard #2. YAY!!! Tai writes that he's learned right and left turns and that he knows how to cross streets, and that they will begin higher traffic areas soon. We've been doing this long enough to know that about ten or eleven weeks out the dogs are tested... that should be soon. Tai's been in training a little over eight weeks - one week less than Zoe has been with us!

It's good to know that he continues to do well - thank goodness! I think I must have written it before about Voight, Liam, or Paige, but while WE know that Tai is a good boy, it's good to know that the school knows it too!

While Mom's Away...

Truman is at our house, hanging out with Zoe.

Happy Birthday, Brudders!!

Happy fourth birthday to Liam and brudder Lomax!!

Postcard!

Just a couple of quick updates...

1) We got the first postcard from Tai up at GDA. We can now pretty much recite them by heart since they are always the same (not that we are complaining, we do the happy dance when we get a postcard), but it said that Tai is in harness and learning to pull, and will be learning turns next.

2) Last Friday I had emailed GDA, asking for an update. My source said that he is doing very well, the trainers like him very much, and he has adjusted very well. Yep, three 'very's in three sentences.

I can sleep more peacefully now...between Zoe's feedings, anyway.

The two legged variety...

We are taking a break from puppy raising to try the two-legged variety...

This is our daughter, Zoe, born 8-5-08.

Where it all stands

Tai is in formal training as of 8-9-08
Paige is still a loving pet and the sweetest dog ever!

Liam has been Re-matched with his new partner.

Voight has been re-matched with his new partner.
