I mentioned previously that we got her through an Adopt-A-Dog program at a state prison. Offered, for $100 you get a dog that is: house-trained, taught heel/down/sit/stay/come commands + whatever a prisoner with time on his hands adds in.
Yeah, pretty much...but, she also has only been around men - meaning she doesn't really understand us women. Oh, but she behaves wonderfully! So, once some initial settling occurred, we thought it might be good to go through some training - with "us" as her new handlers. Well, really the training is for us - not her. Twice, we have gone to restaurants with outdoor seating, and she lies quietly beside me while we enjoy dinner.
When we aren't out training or gallivanting to diners, she perfects her ball catching:
"I can even catch a ball while doing ballet"
"and I STILL only like the water at the bottom of the bowl"
May we all appreciate the fun in getting there!

Oh gosh, her WHOLE NOSE is in the bowl! She's supercute! We will have to get the dogs together for a play date at the park in Granville sometime soon while the weather is still nice.
I sware that looks just like my lab velvet and she is ADDICTED to tennis balls and would play with them until she fainted!
