Puppers

Here are pictures of the puppers that I took today. Joey is 10 months old. He was just about ready to take a nap when I took this. Bella is 5 months.

We went to the dog park in Venice this afternoon and had a great time. They played with about 6 other dogs.

Bark For Life Fido Fest

Today Joey and Bella participated in the Bark For Life Fido Fest in Venice, Florida to benefit the American Cancer Society's Annual Relay for Life. They walked themed laps around the park while earning raffle tickets and a doggie bandana for participating. Area vendors were on hand and refreshments, kid's games, pet competitions, a silent auction and other pet friendly activities were available. Afterwards, we went next door to the dog park and got in some great socialization with other dogs and people. Bella is doing so much better with other dogs and people now. Then we drove to a dog boutique and bought some new outfits. We had a great day and I am so proud of them for wanting to do this for the American Cancer Society.

Joey Had Two Teeth Pulled

After Joey got all his adult teeth in, two canine baby teeth remained. Yesterday I put his harness & leash on for the upcoming trip to the vet. Bella knew something was up when we didn't put her harness & leash on. She cried for hours Caryn told me. I dropped Joey off at the vet and Caryn picked him up at 2:00 p.m. He did great. I was surprised to find that he was able to eat his normal dry dog food. I thought he would have to have soft food for a while. The only thing we had to watch was not to play tug-of-war with him. He came through like a real trouper! He was very happy to be back home again and Bella was thrilled to have him back.
