Nothing like a mud bath to keep a girl looking her best!

Caitlin Meeting her Public!

Caitlin was such a good girl! She was great with everyone who stopped by with a pet and just loved every dog!

A day at the Beach....(a girl can dream can't she?)

Now that the days are getting hotter, after I run and play with my friends, I really enjoy the pool at the dog park. I would love to enjoy all this with my "forever" family!

Caitlin's "Sit"!

This is a picture of Caitlin when she was still at the shelter. It still makes us laugh!

Another fun trip to the dog park

I really enjoy visiting the dog park. Every visit brings new friends to play with, but boy am I tired when I get home!

My first shopping adventure

What a busy morning! After a good run at the dog park, we went shopping at Rio in Gaithersburg. What a great place! We visited the ceramics store and they give out great treats-chicken jerky-yum!! I checked out the whole shop and met lots of nice people. Then we went to the shoe store, which wasn't quite as exciting. After sniffing a few pairs of shoes, I decided they weren't for me so I just curled up and waiting while my person bought a pair (I won't tell how many she tried on). Then we strolled down the sidewalk and did some window shopping-I love admiring myself in the windows. Now I am home a taking my afternoon nap. I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.

Ears, Ears!

It takes a special girl to have such special ears! We think she's adorable!

Meeting Some Young Lads...of the Human Kind

Our girl was very gentle with the little ones who came to visit today. She happily accepted treats and cuddles.

She thinks little people are just the perfect size!

A Lazy Sunday Afternoon

A playdate can really tire a young girl out!

Just take a look at the link to the video of Caitlin and Lucy!

Meet Caitlin!

Caitlin is one of our newest doggie super stars. She arrived recently from a rural shelter that Homeward Trails works with. Caitlin impressed the shelter manager with her personality. She is about 10 months old. She is a beautiful, intelligent and very unique looking dog. She absolutely loves other dog friendly dogs that love to play so she'd be a great buddy for a dog such as this. She's a very friendly girl. She's quickly adapting to her routines and quickly picking up on things especially by watching other dogs in her foster home. Any dog that is smart enough to figure out how to sit the way Caitlin is sitting in the photo has got to be one smart cookie! :) Caitlin has an apparent hearing defect in that she doesn't appear to be able to hear sounds. It is likely something congenital, but she doesn't let this stop her in any way. Working with a hearing impaired dog is not difficult - just different. They pick up on things just as dogs with hearing do but they just follow visual cues versus verbal ones.
