Happy Tails

Shelby is a very lucky girl who was adopted to a wonderful couple who have another rescue dog named Max. Shelby liked them almost right away and she and Max get on very well together. She is very busy with her new family and enjoying lots of love and attention.

I just wanted to share with you how much joy Rosie brings to our lives. We finally completed all her shots and had her spayed last Friday so that we could start taking her to the off leash park. She of course, loved it! She LOVES obedience lessons as well. We practice daily at home and it is one of her favorite activities. "Come on mom, make me to do something else, I can do it! I can do it!" She comes, sits, heels, stays and lays down all on hand signal as well as words. One of her favorite games is "hide the sheepie". We bought her a pink squeaky toy that she has not destroyed in all these weeks. We make her sit/stay, sometimes closed in the bathroom where she can't watch us, then we hide sheepie somewhere, open the door and cheer: "find it!!!". She looks all over for it and loves the applause when she returns with the treasure! We begin "RALLY- O" next Saturday, puppy agility basics. She is such a cuddler. Anytime we are just sitting around, she will bring a favorite chew toy and snuggle INTO our legs or feet and just do her own thing. And she so SO pretty! And she is the sweetest, gentlest soul with all my students. She loves it when they take food out of her dish and feed it to her! She also knows "UP!". and will leap up onto my laps for snuggles. At 30 lbs, she still loves to be held and carried. We go for daily fetch dates with our ball flinger and frisbee, and she is a superstar defense dog at soccer, but nothing brings her more joy than playing with the other dogs!

Hello: Just wanted to send in an UPDATE on our "Sheabee". She is the hit of our entire circle of family and friends! We just love her to peices and so does everyone she meets. Shea is a real treasure and I get the most energetic greeting when I come in the door (even if I am just taking the garbage out!). Every day my husband and I are more thankful to have Shea in our life. Her grandparents spoil her rotten and she sops up every second of it. She is so good with children and she even loves our cats!! She is so smart and is a whiz at her basic commands. She absolutely loves the Leduc off leash and is the fastest creature I have ever seen. It is magnificent to see her run. She loves to play with the other dogs and she seems to outsmart them all with her game of "you chase me then I'll chase you". I can't imagine our life before her. Thanks a million for letting us bring this little sunshine INTO our home. Laura, Dan and "Sheabee" Barr (& the cats!)

Hello this is Penny, YES, I love my new home and I do have the greatest big brother WEIMARANERS ever. They let me jump and run and play with them and when I'm tired I can sleep with them too (on Mommies bed). I get really good food and treats and I'm learning to sit(easy), fetch, heal, come( that's a tough one sometimes). I can help pick up dropped things and usually give them back already. I still jump on people when I get excited but I'm learning to be more polite. Everyone that meets me says I'm becoming a very polite little cocker spaniel ( with a big weimaraner attitude). I went to B.C to meet my Grandma and she loves me all to pieces ( just wait till I complete my training) . She said I have the cutest face and mommy agreed that I melt everyone's heart when I cuddle and look up at you with my big brown eyes. I love to give kisses too. Mommy said I sound like an ewok when I want to cuddle and have my tummy rubbed. It works every time too. Well , I gotta go, my big brothers want me to chase them around the yard and play with them again and then it will be time for a nap. P.S. I did get a summer hair cut and it's great, I dry off FROM swimming much faster.
