Once upon a time we went on a family boating trip while we were together for a family vacation. It took a while to get the pictures back, but here they are… so now I must share. Boating was a fun day. I am a wimp to the max, but by the end, I got on the tube with my wild man. It was a great day to relax on the boat with my dog, my lover and my family.
Puppy Graduation
Tonight we are proud puppy parents.
// Duke graduated from puppy class. \\
In order to graduate he had to:
Come when called (with distractions).
Loose leash walk.
Sit for two greetings from strangers.
Sit to greet a stranger dog.
Do three doggy push-ups.
(sit, down, sit, down, sit).
"Stay" (meaning sit in the same spot) for thirty seconds.
When we started this class, Duke knew nothing.
Now he can sit, stay, down, high five, up, spin around, come when called,
sit for greeting, loose leash walk and more.
we know a lot more too.
We learned about grooming, potty training, eating... and lots more.
We learned about grooming, potty training, eating... and lots more.
The only one he has mastered (meaning he doesn't need treats to do) is sit.
The rest we are still rewarding him, but he has come such a long way.
This class at Petsmart was lots of fun and so worth it.
I highly recommend taking it with your puppy!

We have an awesome dog, and he will continue to learn and be more awesome.
My favorite is high five.
You can see some of his tricks in the video below.
By the way, he hated the hat... but how freaking cute is he???
Pond Play
Today was a blast at the Clegg's pond. We finished up our family reunion on Friday and Saturday (celebrating Grandma and Grandpa's 50th wedding anniversary), then everyone who was able to stay and celebrate Labor Day were invited up to Grace. Grace is one of PJ and my favorite places in the whole world to visit. The people are great, at there is always some make-shift entertainment... that is so much more fun than anything around. Today we found that with our family at the Clegg's pond. PJ couldn't make it and we were missing the rest of my family, along with a few others, but we had a great great time with the ones who were able to come.
I just have to say. When they said we were going to a pond... I did not picture this. This is the coolest pond in the whole world. And what an awesome family to create this space... and to share it with others.
Now, prepare for picture overload. I volunteered myself for photographer today.
Look at my Grandma, isn't she the cutest??
I sure love the cousins that I have been blessed with. They are the greatest. And we are so cute in our modest is hottest swimsuits! Yes, I'm tooting our own horns.
Look at that crazy, happy Alyssa. I love her.
This little guy was in doggy heaven with all the mud, dirt, diggin' food and dogs.
Finally it was our turn to be brave. We went tandem.
I would call this the picture of the day... cuz holy ugly, but if you keep scrolling there's a better one.
This dog was the coolest in the whole world. She would crouch while you are gearing up to go. Then when you are ready, she'll stand. When you push off, she'll start running then she'll beat ya to the end every time. She did this for every single person who went down. Just like that. Every time. That is one cool dog.
Here's where this gets good. Figuring out six girls on a tube......
Whoops there goes Ashleigh... watch out for the ending...
Notice Ashleigh, tube, everyone's faces and Sydney.... YOUCH.
They all lived to go again.
