Sally's Big Adventure in Maine!

We've taken many of our client's dogs to our summer house in Maine and every dog has lots of fun in the huge yard, the acres of woods to chase chipmunks in and if they like to swim, well, it's doggie heaven.

Our weekends pretty much revolve around entertaining dogs. ( Yeah, I know we need to get out more :-)

However, tall Sally, had the most fun we have ever seen a dog have. Any activity at all, like, "Sally, want to go for a walk?" - was greeted with enthusiastic leaps in the air and joyous spins, WOOOOO - HOOOOO, Boy do I ever!!!!!

Two things that we've also never seen before. One was Keeway playing his stick chasing game on land and in the water with Sally as his play partner. Usually, if another dog chases his stick, Keeway will sigh and walk away. Not with Sally! Sally is a Labrador and knows that loud growling, hard tugs and dirty trick are what make this game so much fun! The other thing was Keeway letting Sally have some of his supper. No dog has ever gotten Keeway's food! EVER! But Sally asked politely, Keeway hesitated, then walked away from his food bowl and let Sally have the rest of his food. This has to be a first, not just for Keeway, but in the whole Labrador world!

So here are some pictures of Sally's big adventure.


OK, we need to decide which way to go!





OH! You know the Labrador Tug-o-War Stick Game! OK, little one, game on!






OK, You know the game! Cool! So few dogs do these days!






OK, not sure about this boat thing!





Hey! This boat thing is not bad at all!
