Traz and Shadow

I was thinking about Shadow today, mostly because Avery often acts like her! I even find myself calling him Shadow from time to time. Traz was not even 2 years old in this picture. Time goes way to fast. My struggle this week with Avery has been "Patience or Punishment" he is getting to the age and weight that any bad behavior is to much for me to handle! He has that Puppy Energy going on that seems to last most of the day sometimes. Lance started taking him for runs alone side his bike this week and he really likes it and is doing very well listening to Lance. Nixie had her third and last shot today. Shes doing so well and feeling better than I can remember her ever feeling! Doc Kim thinks most likely Avery had this bug when we got him and passed it to the other dogs, Nixie got it the worst because of her bad skin allergies. She said its normal that Avery got better with good food and care because the mites wont live as well, but that Nixie re infested him and then Traz. I will be glad when this is all over and am hopeful that Traz will tolerate the treatments. Today was a great dog day, Nixie found a ball at the park so was showing off to Avery and Traz most of our walk. Of course shortly she set the ball down and Avery took off with it..! After supper they came outside with me and helped in making the first of many dried flower arrangements I will make for Christmas gifts this year. Avery took off with some flowers, he felt so proud..ha ha ha. Today I am thankful for perfect weather, having all my work done for another day and for the love of a good man.
