Re: new list members & dogs moving about

Hi everyone,
Yes Gina it has been very quiet on the list.
Daisy (One litter) has been very busy. We took her swimming for the first
time. Well, she didn't actually swim but she did go in the water just not
far enough to swim. We took her to Lacamas lake and she walked right in and
then ran after some sticks but did stop when it got too deep. She was very
careful. Not at all a dare devil.
We were at Costco and bought her these two balls, about the size of a soccer
ball, and they had strapped a rope toy around it. It is hard to explain but
there is a rope toy on two "sides" of the ball, one for you to hold on to
and the other for Daisy to pull!!! Then she walks around the house carrying
this ball by the rope toy in her mouth, it is funny!
It seems to be holding up too.
Congratulations to everyone who is adopting the three Brier dogs, how
exciting for everyone involved.
Would love to hear how all the other Brier dogs are doing :-))
Take care,
Patty.
