Merry Christmas!

Cruze and some of his Leader Dog friends + 1 Service Dog wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Cruze thinks that is a great week to spend time with family and friends.  Have a good Thanksgiving everyone!

Back from Vacation

We are back from a wonderful week in Seattle getting acquainted with our new granddaughter Paige Michiko Chenoweth.  Special thanks to Keitha and Jeff for watching Cruze for us.  Thanks to their generosity he had a vacation too.  But....now it is back to work for all of us.

Bandit and the Flowers

Life is short. Summer is shorter. Play with your dog.

River Cruising with Cruze...

Today I played hooky from housework and studio work and went river "cruising" with Cruze and Cooper.
We visited the Grand Ledge Island festival and enjoyed a river boat ride, gorgeous color, and a beautiful day.  Every so often you should run away from responsibilities for a while.  It is good for the soul.

A New Career Path?

 This week Cruze is sharing his blog with Pilot.  We went to Chicago and did a "shoot"  with Pilot and 2 of his friends ( more pics to come later).  We had a great time and would certainly love to make a living photographing pets.

Downtime

We spend a lot of time the first year teaching and practicing "downs." Its a good command to help manage energetic puppies and teach self-control. And just like people, the older the dog the easier it is to "down". Plus doing a down and staying down are two totally different things. How are you spending your "downtime" this weekend?
