Photos of the Week

Santa Claus came to The K-9 Clinic this year! Is that a poodle Santa’s holding? Or is it a German Shepherd in a poodle disguise? Poppy the Airedale ask Rolf, “Dude, are you serious about that ‘naughty or nice’ list thing?” “Weeee… ha! Two-leggers so don’t have the advantage here!” Roxy walks the plank… harrrrrr! Lucky for her there’s land and not ocean at the end of it! Ain’t no mountain high enough for little Louie. “You just don’t appreciate how hard I work. Up and down. Walking the planks and going through tunnels. There’d better be delicious reward waiting for me!” Winston proudly wears his jingle bells hoping that will win points on Santa’s “nice” list. Maya is always the proper lady and sits politely while she accepts her reward for a job well-done! “Hi Mom! I love it when you wave to me like that!” Juno demonstrates the Juno Mind-Trick: “That is not your chicken treat. This is not the sibe you are looking for.”

After a short hiatus, Photos of the Week is back! Here are a few random moments from late summer Saturday and mid-week training. “Better watch what you say, my bionic ear hears everything!” Two shepherds gracefully demonstrate their Grand Pas de Deux and show they are beautifully in-synch in their side-by-side Grand Jete. Their handlers, sadly are not. Union workers protest low training wages and demonstrate with a sit out of the training field. Management begins negotiations with a hose. “Err…mom? When they said hot dogs for dinner, I didn’t think you were going to grill me up!” “Hey, the humans are all taking off, but they aren’t leaving any beach balls, blankets, sun tan lotion or soft drinks. Don’t they know how to have fun at the beach?” “Hey big fella, I’m new here. I’m not looking for any trouble. Just mindin’ my own dog business.” “It’s ok little fella, I’m just wonderin’ what  you had for dinner last night.” Casper demonstrates being a little dog in a big dog world ain’t no big thing. Cheyenne looks aghast. “Dude, a little old spice wouldn’t hurt you!” Dan tells his dog Rolf, “Don’t listen to those Aussies. A little dab does me every day. Just take a quick whiff.” Rolf replies, “Dude, I’ll take your word for it.”
