We started going there when we moved to Charlotte in 2014; and all of the veterinarians have been thorough in examining both dogs. They have saved Penny’s life twice from foreign… Continue reading UBC 201801 Day 6: Dogs Need Dentists Too

Waiting Patiently

Penny’s Favorite Bone
Penny is a power chewer. This Nylabone with two bones at each end is her favorite. She moves on her back and growls/talks to it. She is a very content goof ball!
As The Feathers Fly
Penny’s true Golden Retriever nature shows when it comes to getting along with our cockatiels, Jack Bauer and Coco. Titan and Max were gentle and good with the birds, even letting them have back rides. Chip is also laid back and pretty much ignores them when we have them out of their cages. Penny, on… Continue reading As The Feathers Fly

Let Sleeping Dogs Lie (May 1, 2015)

After Saturday’s dinner pizza party, the time had come for some of us to meet our puppy raisers. The excitement in the air was palpable and contagious between dogs and humans.

The weather has continued to challenge our training objectives; but flexibility and adventure have prevailed.
