Is It Time Yet?? Is ItTime Yet?? Come on–we are Ready for our Run!

When the dogs come out of their kennels, they are ready for their daily exercise. (We call it their run).  They love following Chuck with his 4-WD Mule to the highest hill on our farm. Their they romp and play and wrestle, and then come back and sit beside him for extra attention. How does he do it?? I don’t know, but he manages to give each dog special time and they look forward to it every day. When they arrive back to the kennels, they will be clean and fresh dog food waiting for each of them.  Image

On this day, he wasn’t quite ready to go, but you can see by the picture, they are more than ready!

Taking a Break from Chasing the Balls

Are they taking a break, or just watching all the fun.  Some dogs just aren’t sure what to do with the ball.  Oh well, it is just fine to sit on the sidelines and cheer the others on. It was fun watching the dogs chase the tennis balls, as they rolled on the hill. Not many of our dogs retrieved, but Lola, the female black Lab, did awesome.  She would have fun playing with a family with frisbee or tennis ball.

The day was sunny and so beautiful! The dogs and volunteers had a great time. You can see Benjie, Ginger and Kasey watching the fun.

Just Because They Care

Had 2 wonderful visits this weekend from a Mom and her teenage boy. They came bringing a gift of 200# of Diamond Dog Food for the rescue.  We gave them the LOUD tour and Joe took pictures and made a video for his U-Tube account.  They brushed and petted and talked to the dogs and just spent special time with some of them. 

They didn’t want another dog–they have an older dog and 2 cats, but wanted to show us support.  After they left we talked about how great it is to have people in our lives that are so caring. 

Two hours later, they came back with 2 bags of tennis balls and the fun was on.  I guess you can tell the “Real Retrievers” when you throw out a ball. Had several that played and many just watched.  Anyway, it was a special day for the dogs and for us—-Image Thanks to Michelle and Joey!
