September 7, 2008



White Dog was a little embarrassed that we were late for the first day of class but that fact was quickly lost as everyone (dog and human) greeted each other and did quick "On My Summer Vacation" summaries. It was wonderful to see the group. White Dog particularly missed Daisy her best friend since puppy class days. Daisy has lost her timidness on the A-frame and now raced over it almost as quickly as White Dog does. Poppy sported an extreme haircut but was just as squirmy and upbeat as ever despite her scary incident of being grabbed and shaken by a much bigger dog. Buster has learned to calmly approach White Dog and she pushed against his muzzle to let him know that she was glad to see him. Dragon had come along to class to observe the "big dogs" in action and was amazed at how well-mannered and patient the class was toward him. (Except Poppy who drew the line at being humped by a pipsqueak 12-week old who had no idea what he was doing). All the dogs remembered the stuff already learned and worked hard. After class and a reward run through the cottonwoods at the Bosque, both White Dog and Dragon (full of treats from class), slept.

What's the first name of your White Dog?

I'm glad you are posting photos, Siku Marie :-)

Oh, and yes, of course I am front and center. Come to think of it, I betcha if I look back at the previous family reunion photos, I am probably also front and center in most of them. That's where I belong, of course :-)

Way to go, White Dog!! I know it was a challenge to force yourself to go back to class, but your friends would have missed you terribly.
