Happy Birthday our dear "Duke". Two years "old" last week. Annie and Shane are looking down and seeing what a great dog he is becoming.

Thanks for the wonderful comments on Duke. The "lightbulb" finally has turned on after a long puppy journey although he was an "easy" pup. Just had forgotten how difficult and challenging having a nine week pup is! Duke is so much like a mix of our beloved Shane and Annie. Was to be only 80-85lb. Lab but somehow ended up at 95 #!

Spring is near. Good time, (actually) it's always a good time to be working with our best friends to be well behaved in our homes and in public.

Have you thought about volunteering with your dog?

I can help if you're interested in learning and wanting to get into volunteering with your dog in hospitals, schools, rehabilitation and other facilities.

Please reach out if you have any questions and or wish to discuss further.
