DaYcarEs FUn at CaniNE craZe

Here's me with Fletcher and Sophie...Fletcher's the bulldog.

I really like chewing on Fletcher's face.

Me and my brother, Keeper.

We're tuckered out. You'll just have to squint to see me. We like napping together.

I'm growing up! I think I look a bit different than when you saw me last.

Walk. Don't Run

It always amazed me since Tag was a pup on how he would run full blast towards his food to eat. This past week, I've been working with Tag to walk slowly to his food. By placing my hands in front of his face, releasing him, then guiding him slowly toward the food while my hands are still in front of him. Sure, he still eats in 2 seconds flat. But he doing great on the approach.

Moose (and a guest appearance by Gabor!)

It wouldn't be any fun unless you could have every single service dog Paws & Effect owns in one place at one time (except for Tag.) No fun at all! The weekend will start with five dogs and end with six (an UnHeard of circumstance...thank you Ryan and Katie.) Here's a quick peak at Moose and Gabor showing off their sit stay. By the end of the weekend, Gabor will have had his first forays into public, Moose will have his crate games improved and Seneca will be looking more and more like a guide dog.

Another trip to the vet for Tag.

Really. I wouldn't make it up. Tag has a vet fetish. It even sounds good. He sees the vet monthly. In every city (Toronto, Boston, Louisville and more.) Ask Todd. He'll confirm this. You should see the bills. He is lucky, lucky, lucky that he's a great dog.

Long Lost Ball

After playing fetch at the local park for about 45 minutes, we went home to rest. Somehow, someway, Tag picked up on something in the evergreen. He poked his nose in, and I'm thinking... Oh no, he found the fox that hangs out in the yard. I called for him and he went into the evergreen. I called to him again and further in the evergreen he went. (called him only twice). As I approach, he comes out of the evergreen with a big tennis ball he had found that used to be Sinatra's years ago. It is now his favorite ball!

Tag has his puppy raisers wrapped around his paw :)

Seems I recall a bunch of photos from Todd that look just like this.
