by

Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.  -Maori Proverb Another week marked with a lot of firsts for Sunny. He’s losing his puppy “roly-poly-ness” and growing into the “gangly” stage. Sunny found his voice and we heard quite a bit of that this week-this puppy has a lot to say. …

Fall Fun

by

Fall finally made an appearance in Los Angeles! With the cooler weather, its a lot more fun being outside. So as part of Sunny’s socializing, we took him to a local outdoor mall, The Grove. Sunny had a great time there and was exposed to escalators, elevators, tons of tourists, lots of noise and water …

Sunny Saturday #4-”Crashed”

by

“Play hard-crash harder“- Sunny It always amazes me how dogs are full-on one minute and completely zonked the next, like someone threw an on/off switch. Sunny had a big training session and then we had a massive play before this moment. He clearly knows what pillows are for:) This week saw big changes in our …

The Joys of Spaziness

by

In the few days since he’s been here, Sunny is fitting in nicely to our little family. He’s got all the usual puppy spazziness (or “puppy brain” as I like to call it), but he settles in nicely once he’s burned off that excess energy. We are working hard on manners and Sunny has mastered …

Duke

After a really great time roaming around New Zealand in a van for a month, life is getting back to normal here at home. I went to a dog agility even last weekend to learn about how that all works. The dogs had a lot of fun running the courses and it made me laugh …

Missing In Action

Raja summer of 1997 at age 4 months, a field in the middle of Canada. “Don’t just stand there with that shiny thing, let’s go for a walk run.!” Time has flown by, its hard to believe March is here already. The past year saw a lot of changes for us and we are forging …
