Just wanted to tell you about Kodiak’s first puppy outing in Springfield, IL. We visited the Mill Creek Alzheimer Center, the residents really enjoyed petting the puppies and telling us about their dogs. Kodiak loved all the attention and was the center of attention for most of the afternoon.
He got lots of compliments about his soft furry coat and good manners. I must confess there was
a little secret they did not know–so I can’t take all the credit for his good behavior. Springfield is about a ninety minute drive and he was awake since
about 8:30 in the morning. We arrived at the Center at 2:00–and is was very warm in the Center, so he was ready for an afternoon nap.
As you can see from
the group picture we had several puppies there
The tiny yellow lab is about one week younger than Kodiak. Her name is Lindy. The big yellow lab is Gabe, he is 11 months old and will be going back to Leader Dog in March. The Golden is named Bradford he is 7 months old. The two black labs are Purcell, 10 months, and Sterling, 7 months.
After our visit at
the Center, we stopped at a Cracker Barrel for dinner. You would not have known
our puppies were there–all six were sleeping under the table before we had
placed our orders. We had a really fun day.
Hope you enjoy the
pictures–next month we will be going to Peoria Airport. It will be a training
day for the puppies and for the TSA security personnel as
well.
