B.SI: C was awesome and in a great mood this morning! Had breakfast, and had a great walk through the neighborhood. Met another dog on our travels this morning, and C sniffed at him and then just kept moving. "Sorry new dog friend! Can't talk now! Have to walk!" She really does love to get out and about! Refilled her water and spent some time giving her loving. She is such a happy girl that it's impossible to have a bad morning with her around!
H:HM Had a Great first visit with L. She was a bit nervous at first, but once she realized who we were, she got very excited! She had to show us her kong trick with the apple slices. Very impressive and so incredibly cute! Once we grabbed her leash, she sat right away so that we could get her leash on, and then we headed out for our walk She was so well behaved on our walk, and had a great time walking with us and sniffing around. Made sure she had plenty of water, and gave her lots of affection when we got back. She loves having her belly rubbed! She is just a really sweet and well behaved girl! She did seem sad when we left, and it was hard to have to leave her! Looking forward to seeing her again tomorrow morning!
S.KN: S was thrilled to see me this morning! She was raring to go on her walk! She went straight to the gate and waited for me to leash her and head out. Once out of the gate, she wanted to go go go! Had a good 15-20 minute walk, and she let me brush her again while she ate her breakfast. While I fed the kitties, she kept walking up to me and nuzzling against me. So sweet! T was singing away this morning, and was thrilled to have some lettuce. C wanted lots of love too, and spent alot of time rubbing on my ankles and letting me scratch her under her chin. Saw N peeking out from the neighbors lawn again, but the minute I pull out the camera he takes off! Refilled everyones water as well. After all was done S went t her blankets and relazed. She seems to really like napping in the shade there! Looking forward to hanging out with S while I water the plants this afternoon. She seems to like watching me water the plants. Some of the tomatoes are starting to ripen, and may get to pick some today!
D.CO: Well, U was just a bundel of happy this morning! He was so happy to see me that it just melted my heart, and I had to get down on the floor and kiss and hug him for a bit. He was wagging like crazy, and then went into the kitchen and started licking the heck out of the kitty bowls! Managed to get him to hold off lng enough to get out for our morning walk at the golf course, which made U all kinds of happy. He was all smiles, and had a last sniffing everything and walking with me. After our walk, we went back to the house and I made I his breakfast. He ate all of it right away, and was thrilled about it. Went out back and made sure he went potty, then came back and did some range of motion exercises, but I kept it light since I want to concentrate on those for our afternoon visit. When I left, he followed me to the door, and gave me his "wait, you're leaving!?!" look, and man! It just gets so hard to leave him! So I gave him a few more minutes of collar scratches and kisses before I headed out. Can't wait to see him again this afternoon!
And just for fun, this is my 110 lb "Great Labradane", Marleigh. She is a spoiled rotten, big goofy yellow Behemoth hound, and the canine love of my life. I rescued Marleigh from the Westside Shelter last July after she had been found wandering around on the 4th of July. She had tags on her collar, and a microchip, but when her owner was contacted, they told the shelter that they didn't want her back. I had gone just to see if there was a dog that I connected with, since I was looking for a big dog to walk and run with - not just a dog but a companion; a best friend. I saw Marleigh, and it was love at first sight. I had to wait almost 2 weeks before she could come home, since legally they have to allow 14 days or the owner to claim or relinquish an animal, even though her owners had said they did not want her. I waited, albeit impatiently, and on July 16, Marleigh came to live with me in her forever home. She was barely a year old when she came home, and had lots of bad habits and severe seperation anxiety, but with lots of love, positive reinforcement, training and a lot of exercise, Marleigh has become an amazing dog. I can't imagine life without her, and I wanted to share her with all of you. Currently, Marleigh weighs in at 110lbs, stands close to my waist on all fours, and can put her paws on my shoulders while standing on her hind legs. She adore anything that squeaks, and lives to disembowel stuffed animals. She loves the dog park, and going down to play in the water at the river. Actually, Marleigh loves all water, and even has her own pool. She is shy at first with strangers, but is great with children and loves making new dog friends. She is just a great dog, and I am so lucky to have her.
That's it for this morning. Getting ready to head out for our afternoon visits. Hope you all are having a wonderful day!
