spring 2006

We went for a nice long walk on a gorgeous day in the midwest today. The key word is "long"...I purchased the "gentle leader" and it`s changed our lives!
Honey continues to be the perfect dog. We are thinking she needs a canine companion. We must be crazy...or just dog lovers.

" Good Dog"

That`s what Honey is...can you see it in her face? She lives to please us. The goldens are a great breed, of course if you own one you already know that. Sadly I`ve been told there are quite a few in need of adoption. I wish more people would be fair to themselves and the animal and research a breed before they buy.
Honey doesn`t care for this heat.... we are going to get her a kiddie pool soon.

Spring is here!

Finally great weather..for awhile anyway. Honey went thru obedience. I found pros and cons to the "koehler method" Please research this method before attending! Specifically the discipline corrections, which I find barbaric and abusive. We will not be using them and most people have heard my rant so I wont do it here. We let Honey off-leash yesterday, it was nice to see her run and enjoy the large yard we have. She seems like the type of dog that would stay near us most of the time but we are taking it slow.
She really has improved with the kids and their friends ie. tugging at their clothes...such a great breed.
Next we join the dogpark and maybe some agilty classes.

Our" wild one" is set for training/ obedience class next week..wish us luck!
Can`t wait for the cold weather to break so we can go on extended walks..long ones. woof

Santa!

Today I got my picture taken at Petsmart with Santa! I was a little scared of that thing they call a camera, but I loved meeting other dogs and my mommy got me a new bone!

Snow!

Today I experienced snow! I loved to eat it, and it was fun to play in. I even tryed to catch snowflakes on my tongue!

Happy Birthday!

Today I turned 4 months! I got to go on a long walk, then I got a nice long bath! I liked every part of it! (especially the part when i went on the walk)

my first long walk

This week Honey finally went for a nice long walk to the bus stop! She loves seeing new faces and other dog pals. She really is an outdoor dog..eating branches, chasing moths and eating bugs. As we head for the front door to go in, she plops herself down like a little kid, as if to say "I`m not going anywhere, I`ll be right here if you need me". Training class here we come!
