wash day

It is too cold outside to get our bath in the backyard, so we find a "dog washing station" at a local hardware store! After the bath we get a treat from the lady at the check out!

Ladies first

I am always eager to try something new..!

The dryer worried me.

No matter what the weather,

...warmer days

It has been cold and rainy here the past few weeks, so we are thinking back on warmer October days.

chasing Princess by Clay Walking Eagle

The photos in this next series were taken by our friend Clay Walking Eagle. Just so happened that my camera got wet on the boat trip over to the island... Luckily Clay snapped away and we have a great series of photos from the day. It was the last trip we made over before the days got to chilly, and we got too busy with holiday preparations.

Another "degree"

If I am not trained by now,
my parents aren't paying attention!

I know the difference in obeying commands in class,

to obeying the commands when I am off my leash!

Playing in the leaves

I am now 9 months old and out weigh Princess by 30 pounds! Even though I tip the scale at 82 pounds, she still out weighs me in attitude...she is the "Princess".

Katie's home for Thanksgiving!

I always keep my eye on Princess, she tells me what to do....

I love her...

Graduation Day

I have completed my studies in Puppy Pre-school Training. I have a certificate of learning, and will be entering the next Puppy Training session in the fall. My expertise was in the philosophy of "settle", with a concentration in "walk". My instructor named me the "ornamental labrador".

Salty Dawgs

Ready to get back on the boat.

Tired and happy puppies. We are still puppies, 5 months old.

Voyage to Money Island

Ella and I are on our way to play at low tide. We are so excited that mama has to hold onto our leashes to keep us on board!

Daddy lays the anchor line, so the boat will still be here when we get back, and we can hardly hold still. We are ready to jump in the water!


Ladies first. Here we go ..... !!
