I've temporarily suspended Lapper Training. They are both loosing bits of fuzz and growing in more big girl feathers. Lapper training may be uncomfortable with pins.
Got tired of my coonhound hanging out on the other side of their fence drooling at them. So I sprayed him with the hose. Nozzle was on jet. Got him square in the chest. He did a back somersault. Surprised him! Now he's staying at least 20 feet away. Big baby!

Sort of. They scatter like cockroaches when I enter their pen. But when I pick one up they settle down quickly. I've suspended lapper training due to feather growth. They have some pin feathers and I'm sure its uncomfortable to be handled. So I just sit in there with them tight now. Boy the penciled is pretty! I need to get some up dates pics! The mottled, poor thing, is a bit unfortunate looking right now.

Our neighborhood is busy getting ready for our 4th parade. Everyone's yard is groomed. All houses are decorated. Most dogs are sporting red, white & blue bandanas. As are their owners. This is our 70th year! Hot as h***. Floats all ready. Kids getting bikes decorated! We have hundreds of folks each year. Neighborhood cookout tonight. R2elk, no hamburger for me....sausage only!
Been working in the front under Daisy's supervision. Neighbors wandering around everywhere...much to her delight! Shes such a social gadfly. I think I had a dozen kids sitting around in the front yard with her going from lap to lap. I was weeding & eavesdrops on them. Big discussion about decorating bikes. Most decided Daisy should ride on the firetruck. Kids were so good....just let Daisy casually wander amongst them. They all understand she is banded from all 4th parade activities. Too much chaos. Too many strange dogs. Grown ups got a kick out of all the kids sitting around with a turkey and not the conventional puppy. And happy their kids are outside & not on a device!
