First Place Dog

Well, Naomi placed first in her dog obedience class and won a certificate and trophy. She is a good dog. Sammie loves her and they have a lot of fun together. Naomi even made it onto the German Shepherd Rescue website as "top dog". Check it out at http://www.gsroc.org/ . (Click on the "Happy Endings" tab and select "stories from adopters". You'll see "Naomi the first place dog".) We went for a walk tonight and she does walk pretty well on a leash. Sammie rode her bike, and I walked the two of them. What a challenge for me but fun!

We've been busy these past few days. My parents were in town and we went to a Bar Mitzvah and a wedding Memorial Day weekend. Both events were fun. We had a lot of driving to do since they were both far away. ( Los Angeles, Fallbrook) My dad was the chauffeur which was very nice of him considering he drove 250 miles from Vegas to come here and then drove all around CA. EEEKKK Gas prices!!

Sammie had an annual visit at CHOC to follow up on her progress. She did great! We were there for 3.5 hours and saw 10 different specialists.( dentist, ENT, doctor,Plastic Surgeon, Speech Pathologist, Audiologist, Nurse, etc.) We sat in a room and they each came in one at a time. She amused herself quite well and the panel of specialists sure got a kick out of her! They will send us a report of their recommendations but all was good! She is 37" tall now and weighs 31 lbs. We took her shopping afterwards because she had been wanting a Cinderella dress. ( All week she said to me, "Mommy, we have to go to the Target and get a Cinderella dress") Well Target doesn't have Cinderella dresses by the way... so we went to WalMart. There was a a beautiful Cinderella dress there.. I will post a pic. I still haven't learned how to add two pictures to one post so I'll post it separately.

Thanks for stopping by to read!
