St. Patrick's Day! Holly Then... Maple 6 months

On this beautiful day we headed out to find our own clover. To think of Patrick explaining the Father, Son & Holy Spirit with the clover. As we walked in the sunshine I thought back two years.... to our last walk with Holly we were on a clover hunt then too... I gently mentioned it to the girls as we rounded that same corner with the fenced dogs barking a fit.







We've been teaching Maple to walk with with us, leash tight. We've watch many of the Ceasar Milan shows. She's is not allowed to bark at other dogs. We shush and quiet her and turn her attention away from them. We're trying to train her to really pay us her attention. Thereby the barkers get no attention. She's doing great!!!

Maple is so growing up! She's now 6 months old. She's lost her puppy appearance. She totally adores the girls. She barely notices me and Hubbie. She'll cry for the girls if they get too far ahead when we walk. She look back countless times if they follow. Maple always want to know where HER girls are!! Maple has been camping and oh, that was eventful!!

In contrast Holly was our dog. She did not have Maple's affection for the girls. Holly came when we called. Maple comes for the girls when they lay down! Here's a last photo of Holly in '07!

That was in 2007 and was first of a hard year. Hubbie wrote it all out in his Roller Coaster Ride.

This is also in sweet memory of Holly!!!











Barking in Heaven & Sweet Comfort Grace! ss
