We ate - we played - now we can go so sleep on the doggie bed - except for

Cartier - who insisted she MUST go to sleep in Grammy Sara's lap. She is such a cuddler - and is learning to give sweet kisses - too!

Here are a couple more books suggestions:

Building Blocks for Performance by Bobbie Anderson - to help develop those future obedience and agility stars.

Highly Recommended - Puppy Possibilities A positive approach to a well behaved family pet, by Kathleen Goodman. This book can be obtained directly from the author for $25. Contact her at 111 Spring St, Hopkinton MA 01748 or at ktlgold@comcast.net

And in Linda's search for puppy kibble, Merrick brand won out. Top ingredients are organic chicken, turkey, and oatmeal. We can obtain this brand at our local Paris Farmers Union, but you should be able to find a supplier by search Google. Merrick also makes a variety of dry and canned dog food that we would recommend.

And - don't forget about mushrooms! Corey was "off" the other night, and I was very worried. He refused his supper and just seemed unhappy. Then I watched him sniffing the grass in the dog yard and investigation revealed mushrooms. Then when I took old man Saturn for a walk around by the flower beds he headed toward some mushrooms. So, I now have a bucket full of mushrooms and will be monitoring the yard until summer actually arrives in Maine and things - including mushrooms - dry up. BTW, Corey is fine, some Peptobismol and no breakfast soon put his tummy back to normal.
