Wolf maturing

Mom says that when I was younger I was a real handful (whatever that means).

All I know is, now she is always telling me what a good boy I am, and that makes me so happy!

I guess that's all part of growing up....finding out that it's more fun to please the ones you love than to just do whatever you want. Of course, both my grandma's were always available to help and guide my mom in training me.

Pretty neat---everyone's happier, including me.

A few of my favorite things......and not so favorite

The summer is more than half over already. Lazing around, I was thinking of some of my favorite things.....

....such as being with my humans, a good game of "chuck-it", freeze-dried duck (Yum!), playing with my girlfriend (Yellow Lab) Bailey, going to Shiloh events and shows, playing with the woolies, keeping our 6 acres deer and woodchuck free, little tastes of dad's whipped cream, laying on the A/C vent, going for car rides, helping mom "tractor", chewing my Nylabone on the porch while mom sips her coffee........

Then I was thinking of my not so favorite things like going to the vet, the crate (still don't like it at all!), really bad thunderstorms.

Seems the good things far outweigh the bad.

Maybe that's why I always have a smile on my face.

Woolie Lesson #3

Good morning! I'm up bright and early so I can go play with the woolies today. This will be my third herding lesson and I can hardly wait!

C'mon guys----we're burning daylight.

We didn't get any photos of me herding, but this is Tuck, he's a smooth coat like me. He's famous for his herding, and he has a lot of titles. Look how big that one woolie is!

Here I am resting with my good friend Bella Breeze, while we wait for our turn. She's a plush (long) coat. Isn't she pretty?

I had to miss some lessons this year, so when it was my turn I got a little rambuctious with the sheep. I forgot that I had a job to do, and that I wasn't allowed to just chase the sheep or nip at them. My instructor was very patient, but I did need to get a few "reminders" on how to properly herd. I did finally settle down.

After my lesson I was so hot and tired that I lay down in the big water trough----boy did that feel good!

Can't wait for the next lesson.

Made in America

Wolf showing his patriotic side----

(Unfortunately, the flag wasn't really cooperating.)

Birthday Boy

July 1st was my birthday---I turned 2 years old.


I had a great day, with lots of fun & treats, but best of all--- I spent the whole day with my humans!
