Did you know puppies can paint? This is always one of my favorite activities at Puppy Day and I get a piece of art made by each special puppy. This can be done by your dogs without too much effort. You will need a piece of cardboard large enough to tape your white paper to. (White sketchbook paper works pretty good. You will need 2-3 colors of poster paint that you put on the edge of the cardboard. Have your pup walk through the paint onto the white paper. Have him do this several times. (A treat for him to follow works quite well.) He is done when you or he think there is enough paint on the picture. Be sure to have clean up water available. Set your painting aside to dry then frame and hang. Be sure to sign it with your dog's name and date.

Leader Dog Puppy Day
Last Saturday was Puppy Day at Leader Dog. Now called Leader Dog University. It is like a big summer picnic for raisers, their families, and their puppies. There are classes to attend, talks to listen to, and the opportunity to meet your pup's parents and siblings. It is a very fun day.

Juvenile Delinquent?
Today I got home and Rob said our sweet little puppy turned into a juvenile delinquent today. He and Spencer were apparently wild enough to include knocking over a kitchen chair while playing. So... we took them all on a brisk walk to the lake and back and had play time in the pen.
My mantra with a new puppy is always: A tired puppy is a good puppy!

"Cruze-in" through a Year
7.24
As many people know, Rob & I have a part-time photography business that we are always working to improve and promote. In reading photog articles and literature, an online presence appears to be a "must." Many professional photographers are using a blog to help present their products, brand, and style, to their customers. As I have made a few feeble attempts before to "blog" without much success, I did not want to start with one for the business. So... welcome to Cruze News! We have many friends and family who are always very interested in the growth and training of our Leader Dog puppies. I thought a blog would be a good place to keep everyone who is interested updated on Cuze's (this year's pup) progress and help me to develop the discipline of regular posting. Wish me luck with both the blog and the puppy and feel free to check back often for updates. Comments are welcome.
