Happy Birthday Rissa! 12 years old and going strong!

School

Timber, Rissa and I just went to school to talk about what we could offer this year. I can not go every Thursday as I have the last 3 years. They will take any days I can give them. She seems to think it will be beneficial any days the kids can read with the dogs. Testing etc... going on now so they wouldn't want me to start for a month anyway. I will try 2 days a month and see how it goes.

Today was a dog scout meeting a walk. Jillian and Rissa attended and then we strolled Jordan Stream trail. Saw 2 horse drawn carts and 1 mule drawn cart - all dogs stayed on the side of the path - no barking - respectful of the horses. Had Jillian or Rissa ever seen a horse? Then 4 of us ate at Jordan Pond house on the lawn. Yummy popovers! The girlz were great at the outside restaurant. Behind Jillian's close up is Jordan Pond. Cirra (white dog) and you can't see Bruno on the other side of the table.

The quest for the carriage road certificate continues - another hike this eve on Hadley Brook trail. Me (Timber),Pier (iggies) and Nancy (goldies) made the entire loop. Robyn, Denise and Cirra did half the loop. The "brooks" would have been so nice had there been any water in them. We also went by the largest waterfall in ANP - behind the girlz in the picture - a little water coming off it.
