SunKissed Wish Upon a Starr
(Grandmother was Starr with 2 "R's")

Looking for Adventure from the time
her eyes opened!

Girl with a sense of FUN!

Girl who likes Challenges!

"This is FUN!"

Tackles anything! 

Canine Good Citizen!

Kayaking at Sunset!

Aced "Tricks" seminar!

Loved Agility from the start and is GREAT at it!

Has to be told to "Go Easy" while Scent Tracking!
(she's so fast and a strong puller on the line)

Excited when doing her "Comfort Dog" training!
(Strolling with her Grammy)

Well ... she thinks part of Agility performing includes
"visiting" and just not Blue Ribbon times!

Willing to try anything!
(Skateboarding)

Loves the ocean and running free with her sisters!

At day's end she is a loving lap-dog or claims "our"
recliner for herself!

A present she's never had ... Lambchop 😉

Happy Birthday Sweetie  💗

Lil' Camper Raymond's Activities as October Starts!

Our Newest Lil' Camper "Raymond" 💓

First outing in the Peddle-Boat  😎
(He wears a long-line in case he decides to try swimming!)

He went to Agility class with instructor Elise
and did a few low jumps 😊

Watches while our car is serviced!

Walked well on leash and explored while we waited!

Big Noisy Trash Truck!

Zzzz ... it was a very busy morning! 

Then there is after the nap Tugging!

Camp has toy, ball & tugging stations!!!

Raymond got his 2nd vaccinations today
... but first he went to Doggie School and is
 extending his stay at Camp!
(he was so glad to see his human mama 😍)

Raymond visits mom at the Life Care Center and is a BIG HIT
(faces blotted out for privacy)

Outing at Rockwood Pond  😎

Emma, Raymond, Mya, Willow

Checking out the Dock under water!

Raymond on the run!

Fire-Up the Woodstove
... it's been a wet/fun Columbus Day  💧💧💧💧

Agility ... not his thing!!

A different pond!

"Watcha lookin' at ... just put the money on the counter ... I'm
taking one of each!!!"

Working on "WAIT"  😋

Camp is EXHAUSTING   😴

Raymond goes on a Pumpkin Hunt  👀

Which one doesn't look like the rest?

Very "Popular" and a "Big Hit" at Mom's Life Care Center ...
Residents, Staff & Administrators alike!
(sitting on Mom's bureau)

Has "Bonded" with her Camp counselors  💗

Life Care Center (Administration, Staff, Residents)
all say Good-Bye and Thank-You for the visits ...
Raymond says he'll keep in touch  💖

Workday at Pillsbury State Park ... Last Adventure before
going home to his family!

Where Did Summer Go ... September Already!

Emma

The Girls of Summer ... planning our Fall Get-Away to the Ocean!
(Emma, Mya, Willow)

Critters only left us 3 peaches ... sadly, NO PEACH JAM 😒

The "meadow" is re-emerging ... till the next rain  😄

Welcome "Raymond" to Camp ... we haven't had a lil' camper
in a while ... let the Adventures begin!

Mom, Emma and I were asked to be in a Promotional video for
