new walker, janice. hello janice. layla and olive decided to show me subdivision and then we went on squirrel patrol.

well our walk was going along nicely when it decided to drizzle rain :-( layla decided she wasn't going to walk any farther, until i started to jog and then she decided she would jog a little with us.

8/21:
i took the girls to the park today and we had a great time!! they are wore out. layla was in a great mood and took charge of our walk and olive was happy to let her.

8/28:
i took the girls to the park and we had a blast. i have a tennis ball i keep in the car (i should have warned her) and i think olive is wore out from playing. layla played too but she thought the chipmunks were more exciting!!

9/2:
we had a laugh today- olive was sniffing a bush when all of the sudden she jumped back when a cat ran out!!

9/4:
from original og walker Patty...what an unexpected treat! so fun to see the girls this evening and it was perfect to watch the beautiful sunset. we decided to take the long way through the neighborhood...

9/8:
the girls were on a mission today- heads down noses twitching not sure if they were looking for squirrels, chipmunks or cats (janice all of the above :-)

grazing and yellow jackets!



poor olie suffered several yellow jacket bites on sunday during afternoon walk. did you know yellow jackets get stuck in fur and are hard to get out. ice pack and belly rub made her all better.

layla is as smart as my neice-research proves it!



"they can also understand more than 150 words and intentionally deceive other dogs and people to get treats, according to psychologist and leading canine researcher stanley coren, PhD, of the university of british columbia. he spoke saturday on the topic "how dogs think" at the american psychological association's 117th annual convention."

according to several behavioral measures, coren says dogs' mental abilities are close to a human child age 2 to 2.5 years.
