A Loooong Time Ago When We Were Puppies (June 2012)

Me and Stanley were going through some "old" photos and ran across a few everyone might enjoy.  These were taken when we were about 4 months old.  We had just completed all our vaccinations.  So as soon as it was safe, our pawrents started taking us to church and introducing us to other dogs and peeps.  We also met up with Goose and Bert and their posse on weekends. They knew that to have the bestest life we needed to be well socialized!
In this photo, Bert was telling us all the stuff about how great it is to be a dog.  He told us about playing with other dogs, manners and most of all about FETCHING and SWIMMING!
This was actually the first time we ever met Bert and Annie.  Goose's mom told them we were going to come to church for our first time ever and they came to welcome us.  After church we all went outside so me and Stanley could play with the big dogs!  (Last winter, when we took our class that trained us for our CGC, Annie took the class with us.  She is now a therapy dog just like Bert!)

Me and Stanley didn't understand SIT and STAY commands so this was as good as our pawrents could get for our first time at church.
This was our first group photo.  For many months we would meet up every weekend with these furiends.  Bert's Miss Vickie organizes these meet ups and they are VERY helpful in socializing dogs!
Bert told us not to be scared that water was the bestest thing ever - and he was right!!!

We sure hope you liked seeing our old photos.  Thanks to Goose and Bert for teaching us so much when we were little puppies.  Oh, and Goose, I'm sorry I was always jumping on your head.

Heehee. We love puppy photos! We like the first picture where Bert is giving you the nose-to-nose! Our Mom sees Annie at the hospital a few times a month and always stops to give her scratchies. Annie is a rockstar!

We do our socialising at the river on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. But we're not as well behaved. It's great to have good friends to hang out with. We don't think we'd behave too well in church...SHE says.

XXXOOO Daisy, Bella &Roxy

It seems like just yesterday you boys were so small and young-now you are two handsome doods. I love seeing your photos-I was so impressed when I first saw you attending church and playing with the pack.
You have both grown into remarkable wonderful companions!

What a beautiful photos you got there! Makes me think about Joker when he was little... it feels just like yesterday when he was a tiny 2 month old! He was so adorable always nipping here, and there with his sharp puppy teeth. <3
