I think the look works for her.
What do you think ?
I've moved on from Eastern Passage to Sackville, Nova Scotia. New gardens to make and trails to explore. Thanks for tagging along.

Buffy's big day
Yesterday was a big day for Buffy.
She's been attending Saturday afternoon obedience classes for a while and yesterday was graduation day !
Each diplomas was personalized with the dog's own photo.
Even better there were mortarboards -- with tassels !

| I'm staying, I'm staying -- now get back here and give me a treat. |

| Buffy wonders why I get the certificate when she did all the work. |

| A fellow graduate fairly bursts with pride. |

| Family members crowd around to capture the big moment. |

With thanks to Meaghan Lumley of All About Dogs for going above and beyond to make graduation such a fun event. Thanks too, Meaghan for the mid-week phone calls to see how we were doing . Much appreciated.

The Doggie Expo
Last week I went to the Doggie Expo in Halifax, a one-day fund-raiser in support of the Nova Scotia Greyhound Rescue Group. The wonderful thing was the measly $2 entrance fee included your dog. What a deal !
Exhibitors were selling doggie hats, scarves, collars, leashes, toys, food and other paraphenalia. Dog rescue groups, therapy dogs and dog trainers were also there to answer your questions.
Interestingly it wasn't the booths that garnered the most attention -- it was the other doggie visitors. It was so much fun to wander around chatting with dogs owners, hearing about their dogs and enjoying the doggie interactions.
It was a good opportunity for Buffy to experience a new situation. Kait had brought her dog Sooki and the two dogs reactions to the crowded exhibit hall were quite different. While Sooki wagged her way through the throngs eagerly greeting two-leggers and four-leggers alike, Buffy found it all a bit overwhelming.
It was the most fun I'd had for $2 in a very long time.
One of us was very tired when we got home.

Operators are standing by ...
I chatted with my friend Sandy today while we played an on-line game of double solitaire.
While we were playing, her dogs started to bark in the background, so I put my headset on Buffy to see what she'd make of the experience. I'm not sure WHAT she made of it, but she listened to the barking intently.
Perhaps there was a language barrier as Sandy's dogs speak Golden Retriever and Buffy doesn't do well with accents.
