 "Audrey" ... our little retriever. Who would have thought that she would be going in the water after toys. She had a ball. 7-22-11

Bella is doing great for an 11 year old girl!
Here is a picture of Bella and Lily from her birthday celebration.
We had 8 dogs here and I made a peanut butter carrot cake with a banana cream cheese frosting. All the dogs loved it!

·We have had two outstanding weekends in a row, thanks to Mousse and Chloe. Two weekends ago, we were thrilled when Mousse passed her Therapy Dog test. Now we are the proud owners of TWO therapy dogs.
·This past weekend, Chloe and I competed for the first time in Rally Obedience’s Excellent B class, the highest level in Rally. All of the exercises are performed off-leash, and include two jumps and some tricky combinations. She earned Third Place with a score of 96 out of a possible 100. Later that day, we won FIRST PLACE in Beginner Novice Obedience B with a score of 198 out of a possible 200. I needed a truck to carry home all of her ribbons and prizes. On Sunday, we competed in the Rally Excellent B class for the second time and earned our second qualifying score of 93. One more qualifying score (called a “leg”) and we will have our Rally Excellent title. Photos Attached.

Doggie Easter Bonnet Contest this past Sunday.
I guarantee they will make you smile.
We all wish you a Happy Easter! Rebecca, Frank, Mousse and Chloe

The show photographer captured our darling Chloe in perfect Heel position at the Charleston Dog Show the last weekend in January. Chloe and I won first place in Beginner Novice obedience (a new titling class) with a score of 197 out of 200. I am sure those 3 points off were Handler Error, since she was simply perfect.
... and afterwards, resting at home! Chloe & Mousse Bass

Carol, have not dropped you a note in a while. Bailey is doing very well. We did have a scare a few weeks ago and went to the emergency clinic. He was shaking and would not eat. They agreed he was not feeling well, but found nothing. Gave him a shot for nausea and $500 later, he was good as new. Oh well , better to be safe than sorry.
He has been taking his allergy shots like a pro. he gets them once a week now. It has made his fur grow in thicker and a little softer. Getting a litle better on car rides. The dermatologist suggested rescue remedy for calmness in the car. we will try next week when he goes for his annual.
I have attached a few recent photos we had taken. The family one is our Christmas card this year.
Take care
Kathy

Billie (Holiday) hasn`t met anyone she doesn`t enjoy . She is slowing down now and is on supplements for her joints as she now has trouble getting into and out of the truck ... but refuses to use the ramp I got for her . Heading up to VA this weekend for a long weekend at the cabin in the mountains next to Craig`s creek .... should be a good experience for her . Just hope Carole and I survive !!

TAKODA celebrating Halloween with family!

We celebrated Bella's 10th birthday last Sunday, July 11th. Here are a couple of pics from our 3 mile hike along the Laurel River (not bad for a ten year old girl). The last pic is of her after the hike. She's lying on the nice cold floor with only her head on the dog bed. She always does this after a long hike. Every day I give thanks for her especially during her senior years.
Warm regards, Shay

Chloe Bass
is now an official Tail Waggin’ Tutor under the auspices of Therapy Dog International. This is a program where children read aloud to dogs. Thus, the kids improve both their reading skills and their confidence in public speaking. Furthermore, the children learn how to relate to well-trained dogs. I also start out with an orientation on how to greet dogs that are not your own so that no harm is done to the dogs (or the children). You can see from the photos that the dogs and the children had a great time!
