We’re in California this weekend. It’s been a rush fitting in visits with family. Molly spent some time with my mom who had a stroke several weeks ago. It was sweet to see them together.
Then we met up with Mike’s family to go for a walk in the Redwoods. Yes, there is a redwood forest in SoCal at Carbon Canyon park in Brea. It’s amazing!
Then a late lunch at Lazy Dog Cafe. The dogs were a bit tired.
We finally landed at our son’s house in Burbank this evening. We’re exhausted! Anyway, I wanted to get a test posted so we just did it in their backyard. Their new little puppy, Rosie, was quite the distraction as well as my granddaughter, Stella. Molly loves Stella and wanted to play with her and Rosie but it was work time!
This is Molly and Rosie at the end of the day.
We’re ready to crash, too.
It’s been a busy day!
ReplyDeleteThankyou for sharing the highlights of your trip in pictures.
ReplyDeleteIt is fun seeing Molly and family in New settings and new situations. As an Instructor, it's a delight to see how valuable and practical the FC exercises become in real life. Especially in the crazy world of CALIFORNIA 🤪
ReplyDeleteYes! Everywhere we go we ask if dogs are allowed. The answer is usually, “yes, if they are well behaved.” The training we’ve been through gives me the confidence to answer, “she is” knowing that if she isn’t, I have the skills necessary to make the appropriate correction. So far, this trip has been a huge success thanks to Roxanne’s training 😊
ReplyDeleteAs far as the RC training this past week, I have to say it’s been interesting to watch Molly "evolve" this week. She started by frequently putting her chin on the dumbbell, not in her mouth. She'd move forward, lift her head then settle her chin on top of it. I had to work in front of a mirror because from the side or behind with her furry head, it looked like she was opening her mouth. Sneaky girl 😯
ReplyDeleteECs got the point across. IN the mouth, not under the chin!
