Check In...

It's our monthly check in... Already?

A picture at N.E.A.D.S. headquarters...

This is what it's all about...

OK, outside practicing Sit Stays.

Down Stays...

Big City Livi'n

Off to the Hospital, a waterfall inside.

After at least a hundred rides in my own personal elevator I needed a break...

I was almost kidnapped... She really Needed me.

Practicing unders after a long day is no problem...

Attached?

OK, So I know were not supposed to get attached...

Bernice sent me some pics of her time with little Otis...

How can you not just LOVE this face?

Oh Buddy, I miss You!

Another couple days with Leo, aka Bull in a China Closet!



Mindy's trying to teach Leo some in the house ed
etiquette but, it's a tough job...

Golden Retriever?

I'm a Labrador, Who's this?

Ya see, I guess the powers that be wanted a puppy swap amongst the puppy raisers.

So I, Otis went to a very nice lady named Bernice and Rick has Leo.

He's an Eleven month old Golden Retriever. He's much bigger than me and FULL of Energy!

Rick says he misses me very much and can't wait to have me back but until then he will do his best with Leo...

Here's Leo with my surrogate family... :(

Mindy still says she's the Big Dog.

Let's try this boat thing...

Back in Freedom... ya-hoo lets swim...

In the boat Rick say's... I'd rather swim!

Ok, lets check this place out, what do you think Josh

Hmm, lets sit back here, seems safer...



OK, lets try to relax...

Ya baby, now I've got it figured out...

 

Good Night.

York Day's...

Every summer our local dog club puts on a little demo for the public...

Otis could have cared less...

But he had no problem sharing Mindy's water although he couldn't be bothered to get up.

Mindy just thinks this is the Greatest thing ever... all kinds of people come to pet and play with her.

All in All it was a beautiful evening and everyone had a good time.









Cool drink on a Hot day...

Boxers wait outside, Labrador's dive right in...

A Day of Firsts...

First day at Church

Then a visit to a local hiking trail that has a metal bridge over water

No Problem... off to the Grocery Store.

Help'n out...

I make friends everywhere...









Graduation?

No, not you Otis this young lady Emilia just graduated High School

This party had everything... I guess there brother was dinner???

Hmm... the other white meat

I think this guy had too much to drink...

Everyone just Love's me...

This little guy played & walked with me... I felt like a Celebrity...

 

I hope I graduate some day...

Problem Solved...

No more chewing everything!

I Yanked his teeth out...

Just kidding everyone... Otis is losing his puppy teeth.

Is there a tooth fairy for dogs? There adding up.

Service & Therapy awareness...

Once a month the service dog community gets together in Saco to brain storm work out issues and just interact...

The gang's all here...

Just out for a walk

walk on a fence? ok...

Otis in a basket

I think Mindy thought she was getting a Bath...

Another mentor for Otis... this is Arika with her service dog Faxon,

He is Awesome!!!

Mindy may not be a service dog but, therapy dogs can practice under's too.

She hates to be left out...

The Maine Chapter says good night, see Ya next month.

Summer in the Street...

A friends Band played downtown...

Otis Loved listening to the Band but, cleaning up and lugging equipment...

Hmm, I don't know.

 

So he just hung out with his new friend Richard...



Beautiful night...
