Sunny Saturday #14-”Natural Born Swimmer”

For Christmas Sunny got a big dog agility tunnel (he outgrew his little Ikea kids tunnel he used as a puppy-which was amusing to watch him try and get through it but not very productive:) and swimming lessons. He had his first lesson yesterday-here’s Sunny to tell you all about his aquatic adventure: “Hi, Hi, …

Sunny Saturday #12-”Echo Mountain”

Sunny is growing like a weed and has energy to spare! We took a hike up Echo Mountain to see if we could tire him out for a little while… Echo Mountain is a neat historic place in the local (San Gabriel) Los Angeles  Mountains. From 1893-1936  approximately 3 million people took a rail car …

Sunny Saturday #5-”A Week Of Sunshine”

Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.  -Maori Proverb Another week marked with a lot of firsts for Sunny. He’s losing his puppy “roly-poly-ness” and growing into the “gangly” stage. Sunny found his voice and we heard quite a bit of that this week-this puppy has a lot to say. …

Sunny Saturday #4-”Crashed”
