Socks & Ours

Socks is not one of ours but he came for a visit and I got him freshly bathed before his family picked him up.

He was not happy about the bath but he started warming up to it. His first response was to soak me.

I tell you this as this does happen with some. I do some bathing conditioning but some get one bath before they head out and its up to you to keep it up till they get used to it and they can and do get used to it. Sometimes even with several times before they go out, some just do the fight longer. It depends on the personality. 

This puppy has a fun loving personality.

Now this photo is Chico who is a Wasabi and Kat puppy (dark black and white pup) who moved to a fabulous place. Fidel is from another breeder (silver and white) who they had before getting Chico. This is what they wrote:

Hi Nathan & Darlah,

Quick update from the west!  Chico and Fidel have moved to our new home on Eagle Island, West Vancouver.  The dogs are thrilled.  It’s a pretty leash free life as there are no cars on the island, which is a friendly community of about 30 families.  No wildlife to worry about (no skunks or bears here!) so it’s just pure fun, tearing up and down the trails to the houses and all over the island basically.   Getting to the island involves a very short “barge” ride.  Both dogs are very accustomed to it now, waiting for the command to get on and off the barge when directed.  Nobody has gone swimming voluntarily or involuntarily – yet!

Lots of walks in the neighbourhood on the mainland too, lots of canyons, trails and beaches to explore.  A few photos attached.

Hope things are well in Toronto!

All the best,
Kaarina
