My first year as a LD Mom

My first year as a "Leader Dog Mom" is drawing to a close. Shortly after it was decided my job was to be a Leader Dog breeding female, Gary & Paula became my foster family. Hmmmm......in just one short year here are just a few of the things we have done and experienced together:

• Became a mamma of 7 puppies; 6 boys and 1 girl (they are ALL in the LD first year program)
• Went camping at Sleeper State Campground in Michigan, Tall Timbers in Dayton, Ohio and Allegan State Fairgrounds in Allegan, Michigan
• Attended a Ladies Bible Study (with Paula, of course)
• Had fun at two High School Graduation parties
• Went to two picnics at Frolic Farms (a little farm owned by one of my favorite humans)
• Celebrated my second birthday in May
• Froliced in the "kiddie pool" at home, discovered love of water
• Walked 6 miles for the March of Dimes in Troy, MI
• Attended Leader Dog Breeding Stock and Puppy day, met up with many old and new friends there, including my first born puppy now named Obie
• Made fast friends with other dogs. First a Paws With A Cause puppy named Sampson and recently I met a neighborhood Malemute named Willow
• Visited Paula's parents and their kitty cat in Cincinnati twice
• Watched small aircraft take off at Romeo and Allegan airports
• Visited Linda & Bob at their home in St Helen, MI for the weekend
• Walked over to the youth "house" at church and got to know some of the young people
• Car rides too many to mention
• Let many children around the neighborhood love on me, I love them
• Visited a lot humans in their homes. Including Lori and Jim
• Regularly attended small group meetings at Jeff & Linda's home
• Shopped for my own food at the pet food store
• Journeyed in and out of stores at pet friendly Partridge Creek Mall
• Went to work with Gary and Paula

BOW WOW, just listing what I've done has made me tired. I'm off to do one of my favorite activities, taking a nap. Tail wags and kisses from Zyla.
