Wheeler Farm

A couple weeks ago I took the pups to Wheeler Farm. It's a farm that people are allowed to tour with their dogs. It was really fun and my dogs got to meet a lot of farm animals. Paris loved it! She is completely fearless and was practically crawling into the pens to meet all the animals. Snickers was less than impressed, he did not like all the strange creatures at all.

Okay blogger is being dumb and won't let me label the pictures, but they are self explanitory so enjoy. (The chihuahua's are my roommates dogs Conall (black) and Romeo (yellow) The snow is from a few days after and the last one is Paris asleep on my shoe. It made me laugh!

And,

Little "T" comes tomorrow!! I can't wait!

Paris turns two!

Today the Paris turned two. I think she had a fabulous birthday, she got to hang out with me at work, got a new yummy bone, and ate birthday cake. Happy Birthday Paris, your the best!!!

400th post!!! (Picture Post/Catch up)

Okay I am a MAJOR slacker! This is my 400th post, so I am going to do a picture post of the last month.

A few bullet points for the month before I start with pictures:

• Snickers turned 7 months old. (I really need to switch his to his "big boy" collar but I am in denial)
• Picassa is in phase 2!!!!!
• The dogs enjoyed Christmas (And I fostered the CUTEST 2 year old chihuahua named Fabio over the holidays from my work and fell in love with him. He finally got adopted last week and hopefully things are going well. There are a few pictures of him so that is why I mention him.)
• Snickers is getting the snip-snip in two weeks. Sad day! :(
• I miss Picassa
• Snickers is a whopping 53 pounds and as tall as Paris
• Puppy-traded Snickers for Jacinda for a whole week
• Paris is pretty much the awesomest pet dog EVER!
• It snowed so much while I was at work one day that I was stranded there for four days, and got some major cabin fever. (I have never appreciated a hot shower and non-pre-packaged food before in my life. Fortunately I always have 7 days worth of food stocked in my car, just in case. . .my paranoid personality finally pays off! :)
  
• Oh, and had a weird dream that GDB called me and told me they had misdiagnosed Paris and I had a month to get her ready for harness training. *ominous music plays*
• Started school again which Snickers loves attending with me.
• Ummm. . . I think that pretty much sums up the month.

This is because Paris go kicked downstairs for Christmas dinner and was not very happy about it. Every time I would look away she would be a step closer to the top until I looked over and she was sitting on the top stair. She is too smart for her own good. She did get a piece of Christmas ham and turkey though. :)

2010 in review

Here is a quick recap of what happened in 2010. (And an update on the holidays will come soon)

January- Started my journey with leash making, Paris was 10 months old, and Fullerton appeared in phase 8 of formal training.

February-Paris turned a whole year old and Fullerton was in phase 10!!

March-Things really started to click with Paris and I loved raising my stubborn girl. Not much else going on in March.

April-Hosted my first Green Leash Give-away (which reminds me I should do one soon), went from having 2 months left with Paris to 2 weeks, and Fullerton graduated as the best guide dog in the world!

May-Had to say goodbye to the Paris, picked up puppy #9 Picassa, found out Paris was cc'd for eye issues, moved to SLC, and decided Paris would be my forever dog.

June-Picked up Keiko from the puppy truck for another raiser in my club and got to spend a couple days with him, Got my Paris back and was thrilled to have her as my forever dog, and fell in love with Picassa and her quirky personality.

July-Picassa turned 1! I turned *cough, cough* 25. . . and started preparing for Fun Day!!

August-Went to Fun Day and made a couple new friends, Picassa went into heat :(, Found out I was receiving a Male Chocolate Lab to raise as my tenth puppy and was super stoked!! 8 days later I picked up Snickers and I love the boy to pieces! I also started a new job at an animal rescue and rehabilitation center and love it.

September-Picassa came out of heat, I started classes at UofU my new university, and Snickers became legal.

October-Snickers went on his first hike and I enjoyed my time with three of the most amazing dogs in the history of the world!

November-Had to part with my sweet girl, Picassa and send her off for breeder evals, found out Picassa was dropped from breeding and would be put into harness training.

December-Celebrated 6 months of having Paris as a pet and spent Christmas with good friends, family and puppies.

It was a great 2010, here's to an even better 2011!!! Happy New Year Ya'll!!

A Visit from Julimae

Okay, I majorly failed doing the 30 for 30 thing...but I was super busy at work and school with finals and everything. I think it's a good enough excuse, right? Well, last week Snickers went on his first puppy trade. He got a stellar report and the puppy sitters loved him. I traded for Julimae and had her for about 5 days. She is a sweet puppy and I loved having her. Here are some pictures from her play time with Paris, Marley and Rafferty. Hopefully I'll be a little better at updating the blog from now on. It'll be really nice to have a break from school. I am really looking forward to it.
