Puppy In Training

J-Brian was picked up on Oct. 31st. Here are a few pics of his first weeks

He went out with us for Sushi..here is is asleep under the table.

Encouraged Marcus to collect canned foods for the Cub Scouts

He came face to face with Mika one of our cats.

He is absolutely certain that Jasmin should play with him. She is just hoping he will loose interest in her and stop following her around.

He's found a soft place to rest.......

Likes to watch TV..........

Balboa Island

On friday we took the Balboa Ferry to Balboa and had a grand adventure. We started out at Dutch's house and we played for awhile. Here are a pics of our day. We had lunch and went for a long walk. We stopped and played in the surf for awhile. Then Dutch and I took a shower to try to get some of the sand off us.

Resting while the humans had lunch

Yeeehawwwww we found the water..............

WOW...this is fun....... Dirty dogs need a shower

A shower is not the same as a bath.....I know I'll get washed again before the day is over

Beach Cruisers and wet dogs...sounds like the beach to me !!!!

Have bus will travel

The OCTA had a training day for service dogs. This gives service dogs of different types the opportunity to ride public transportion. There were Guide Dogs from all three schools in California, Canine Support Teams and CCI also attended. http://www.ocregister.com/articles/bus-guide-dog-2180231-dogs-blind

They had three buses for us to ride, the buses where equipped with wheel chair lifts, lots of noise, muffled PA system, air brakes, pull cords, etc. The drivers gave us the opportunity to get on and off at the stops.

We stopped at Knott's Berry Farm we here we ran into some of our friends......

Partner's Dinner

Last night I went to the Partners Dinner with hopes of catching a glimpse of Yaeno and Caleb. I was not disappointed. Yaeno was there with that wonderus doodleboy and they were great. She told me of all her adventures and much she loves him. Well those of you who know me know that feeling is more than mutual.

She is a busy woman......Dancing, Pottery, Cruises and is planning a trip to Japan.

Yes...He did hug me..he laid his head om my shoulder.....

Virtue had a Great time too....she wore a gold collar with some bling and pearls...I hope to get some better pics without the devil eyes...but here she is "Ms. Virtue".
