Wednesday July 22nd

Rissa and I (with Robyn and Cirra) delivered 8 pet oxygen masks sets to County Ambulance today. The money was raised with our Dog Scout yard sale in June - we purchased 26 sets to donate to fire departments and ambulance crews in Hancock county. Rissa allowed a little demo of the mask.

Sunday 7/19

Today I took Rissa and Timber to the SPCA pet show and fair as reps at the Dog Scout booth. Weather cooperated - seems like they had a good turn out-to crowded for all the tables and folks/dogs under the tent tho.

Friday 7/17

The girls had another fun outing. We took a walk to the Reservoir on a quiet park trail. Went with neighbors Kate/Bobby and their kids and 2 other dogs - Moxie and Pilot. It's a perfect 1+ hour hike on a wide trail - swimming and then return. The trail head is only a 3 minute drive from my house too! Yes, we could walk but the girls are running and swimming so hard - I don't want Rissa to overdue it to much - actually Jillian is less conditioned than Timber and Rissa - she is getting in shape tho! It's hard to walk all three on a busy road also - safer to drive and park there.

Tuesday 7/14

The girls had a nice early morning walk at LLP with Tracy and Simon - swimming too!

SWIMMING!!!

Timber brings in 2 bumpers and I can't get a good shot of the girls front on so - this shows them all going to retrieve - Timber making the big splash on the left and out swims the other two hands down.

Jillian passed her first therapy dog evaluation today! She did very well with all the other dogs and the people at Cortland manor. 2 more observations to go!

Rissa was her sweet, calm wonderful self today as we visited the hospital and retirement village. She also double dipped as a READer dog and gave a certificate and a puppy pail to a nice supporter of READer dog. Ruth has bought and donated over 20 books for our kids in the last few years.

July 4th

Another eventful dog day. Sold "puppy pails" for dog scouts at the ball field in Bar Harbor. Set up a nice booth. Had a lot people ask what dog scouts are. Good PR. Sold some of our pails! The sun was out - against all odds and weather prediction. We have more pails to sell but, we have covered our product costs at least.
