    Remember that sick dog I adopted 4 months ago?

    Where did he go?

    Zoom!


    Took these back in February after one of our heavier snow falls. Just now got them off the camera.

    Chipper started Level Two Obedience this past Sunday. Currently only 4 dogs total in the class and Chipper is the only one that took a previous class with Janet. The other dogs are sweet, but wow, no manners at all. I'm sure it's true they took Level One Obedience else where like they stated, but you wouldn't know it the way their dogs behave. Janet did a quick overview of the basics and Chipper totally showed off. I got him in a sit/stay, put food on his paws and walked away out of sight while the others were trying to get their dogs to lay down!

    I hope I don't make any enemies. But Janet's a good teacher so I think the rest of the class will pick up fast.

    Well, onto the rest of the photos:

    Vets figure 2 years old, though he looks so much older and wiser, doesn't he?

    Here's a video from that day too.

    Oh Kimmy... Chipper is SO lucky that you found him and didn't stop or give up hope when most things failed trying to find out what was wrong with him!!

    Wow, you snapped a LOT of Great action shots!!
    My favorite of Kia:


    And the one with Chipper leaping over the fallen log is great too!!

    I hope I get to meet Chipper this Memorial day weekend at the bark park!

    Good results come form a lil Love and Good Food!
    Reminds me of Smokey's first few weeks ...
    He arrived as a sack of grubby fur wrapped around an assortment
    of ribs and bones ... what a difference now!

    Welcome HOME, Chipper!

    Love your photographs. For a sick dog he looks pretty darn good to me. Give yourself a pat on the back for a great job. Looks like this dog fell into the right hands.

    Chipper is looking good! Wasn't it his lucky day when you walked in and adopted him. Kia is such a pretty girl. Just love her eyes. Can't wait to meet Chipper at the dog park sometime this summer.
