July 2009

It has been a busy month for our growing Daisy! She has been having a blast this summer. Some new things we did include: visited a CGC test prep class (walked with a squeaky shopping cart, a flatbed cart, ate treats off a vaccuum, met three new people and then those same people with their dogs - all handled with her usual aplomb!), for socialization we went to the LLBean store (met lots of new people, and two other dogs while there) and the most fun -- attended the Shiloh Shepherd of New England (SSONE) Event on July 18th. She met her littermate, Colton, who lives in Southern RI. The two bonded again, and were instant "best buddies". Everyone at the SSONE event was welcoming. Daisy has started a puppy K class this month too. So calm and gentle, her buddies there are a shy 4lb Westie puppy and a spaniel puppy. She is the quiet giant there (now at 37 lbs and 16 weeks), letting the other high energy pups run all over. She brings us so much JOY! Her big love now is the the kiddie pool, and continues to think it is the biggest dog bowl she has ever seen. The photo is of Daisy (head turned) and Colton (blue collar) at the SSONE event.
