Big Updates

I have been very busy the first few months of this year, so I am just getting around to updating my blog. Terrible, I know! Well anyways, there is alot to let you in on, so let's get started.

Bella passed her Therapy Dog International test! She is now a certified Therapy Dog! I was so excited and nervous the day of the test. I am so proud of her that she passed.

We have been on a few visits so far. On Friday March 13th, good day to start, she had her first two visits. We first went to Springhill Village for a petting zoo. She did excellent! To bad I cannot say the same for the out of control mastiff that also showed up. This dog was completely out of control and soon left after slipping out of its collar running wild. Bella layed there, completely behaved amongst the chaos.

The second visit was great! Our second visit was at Meadows Manor. We walked around visiting with all of the residents. She did awesome, although she was a little tiered at that point. Everyone there loved her and was very welcoming.

She also had another visit last Sunday at Meadows Manor. She did good, although I do need to work some on her pulling. She was pulling to much for me and I don't want it to become a bad habit. Other than that it was another great visit and everyone enjoyed her.


Now on to Foster...the poor boy got neutered on April 13th. The procedure went well and he recovered back to his old self. Although he is MUCH easier to deal with now that his jiblets are gone. Before he was starting to have a big attitude with us and was hard to live with. Now he is much more easygoing and enjoyable to be around. I am still not sure what I should do with him. I would like to do a frisbee or flyball class, I just need to make time for him to do it.

We have started hiking! I look forward to hiking more this summer with the dogs. Although I hope we don't get eaten alive by these mutant mosquitos!
