Lake Tahoe + More

Well first of, DeSoto and I have been enjoying our summer SO much! Not getting up at 6 in the morning for school is nice. We did get 2 new puppies in our group. Fantom -MBL being raised by Taylor and Morgana-FYL being raised by the McDowells. Unfortunately, all the photos of them, are on my mom`s camera. So as soon as I can download them, I will. To see pictures of them visit Kelsey`s blog. Today was a exciting day. My family and my friends family all headed up to Lake Tahoe for the first time this year.

I did find out that Mr. DeSoto is not into the water that much. He did get wet, but only one time. The other times, he just put his feet in. But most of the time he just sat there and looked at the water. When he did start swimming a big wave came and splashed him in the face, and that ended the swimming. Other than not swimming, he was very well behaved on the beach.

Our plans for the rest of the week are not too exciting, hanging out at home. Although tomorrow we are going to Taylor`s house to hang out for a few houres. So that shall be fun!

So here are some pictures from the beach.

A big log, just thought I would snap a picture.
Watching everyone pack up.



The rest of the pictures are not from today. These are actually from last Thursday when we went to the Sierra Summit Mall. The reason we went there is it was my Best Friends Birthday. We spent most of the day at the mall eating, shopping and going to the Chocolate Bar which I highly recommend it is delicious! DeSoto was great the entire time.

Wondering why us girls have to try on SO many clothes!

Hope everyone`s summer is going great!

Playtime!

With summer coming up, I decided to post some pictures of the outdoors and playtime! DeSoto is almost 11 months old! Can you believe that? I guess it`s time for an update, it has been a few weeks.

Starting with last week. We had no meeting that Monday, which it was nice to have a break. DeSoto and I have just been attending school for the most part. Not really going anywhere "fun." This weekend my family and I, went camping with friends at Walker River Resort. I LOVE that resort and hope to go back and bring DeSoto. The reason I did not bring DeSoto was, we were mainly going there to ride our dirt bikes, and I did not want to have to kennel him the whole weekend. So, he got to go to Taylor house! Speaking of which, she is getting a black lab male "F" puppy on Monday. Also the McDowells (long time raisers in our club) are getting a FYL "O" puppy this Saturday. It`ll be nice to have some new pups in our club, considering DeSoto is the youngest in our club. I think sometime next week my family and I are planning to go to 6 Flags. Unfortunately we will no be bringing DeSoto, due to the hot weather. But in the future I hope to bring one of my guide dog puppies to an amusement park. Last night we had our annual Ice Cream Social. Sorry no pictures, forgot my camera. But instead I have pictures of DeSoto in action!

You put that jacket on, and you are amazed at how well they behave!

I hope everyone has a great summer!

Concert!!

On Monday some friends of mine and I went to see Carrie Underwood. I also found out when I got there that Amber was there. We had good seats, and I tried to get good pictures, but some of them were not worth posting. Carrie was touring with josh Turner, who i don`t really like but he was alright. So enjoy the pictures!Josh Turner opening up the concert and playing for about an hour.



AND........... Finally Carrie came out!!!!!

Some of you are probably wondering where DeSoto is and why he is not included in this post when my pets are included. DeSoto is at my leaders house till Friday, because I have been them to work with him just on simple stuff like pulling and dog/people distractions. So it is nice to have a little break, but I miss him though.

This is Bella. She is my 3 year old, female, red and black German Shepherd. You can not tell she is at all spoiled by lounging on the bed?!

And this is Dietrich, and 2 year old male red and black German Shepherd.

The Trip

This weekend my family and I headed down to Great America. DeSoto was originally going to come with us to the park, but when I found out the weather was going to be in the 90`s I decided it would not be fair for him to come in that heat. Instead DeSoto got to go to my aunt`s house (she is an approved GDB puppy sitter) and have fun. The trip was very fun, but at the same time burning hot. My favorite ride was of course Flight Deck (a roller coaster). We spent Friday night camping out in tents in the park. That was a neat experience. Saturday we went to my aunts house and just hung out and spent the night. Sunday we drove him. I was so impressed with DeSoto in the car, he mostly slept or looked out the window. At the moment I am currently puppy less. Mr. Wish (our leader) asked to have him for the week, because I have been asking him for a few weeks if he could take DeSoto and just work on little stuff like pulling, dog distractions, and nail clipping. Tonight I am going to a concert, so I am super excited! Maybe pictures later! But for know, pictures from the trip and yesterday. DeSoto discovering a giant ice cube!

What Is Down There?

10 Months Old!!

Almost Double Digits.... Scary!

So i guess it is time for an update. I admit, I have not posted for a few weeks now, due to lack of time and just not feeling like it. So enough slacking!

Starting with the last weekend of April. I don`t recall us doing much, probably just hanging out running errands. The 30th I had my Hawaiian Dance which probably explains the two pictures! Even though DeSoto did not go to the dance, I still dressed him up for a few minutes. And yes I know there is purple and pink, but that is all I had. Saturday May 3, we had a 3 hour CPR class for dogs. Our CFR, Celeste came up for the day to give us a class on doggy CPR. I found it very interesting and lost of great information. Sunday Emily, Kesley, and I went to the Movies and saw Baby Mama. It was a great movie, lots of laughs! All 3 dogs were great did during the movie, I could not have asked for more! On the 16-19 we are going to be in Great America, for a Girl Scout function. DeSoto will be coming along for the experience and fun! Also the 19th I will be going to see Carrie Underwood in Reno with some friends. DeSoto will not be coming to that. Look foward to the Great America post soon! So I think that does it for my update. Oh! DeSoto will be turing 10 months on Saturday! Scary how fast they grow up!

These galsses are a long story, but when my friend went to Chicago, she got 2 paris of these crazy galsses. They light up, but in the picture you canot tell that they do. My handsome, almost 10 month old boy!

Hope everyone has a great week!
