That said, I CAN share a picture of our new family member, who we started with the first day of co-op this year. She wasn't ours until the evening of Aug 23rd though, the next day.
This is Misty, our sweet new Labrotti puppy! She looks very much like a black lab except the shape of her muzzle and the thickness of her coat is different. Her father was a chocolate lab and her mother a LARGE rottweiler named Ginger :).
We thought a school year that is pretty packed should also include the joys of puppy life, especially since it was days before we left for a week of vacation! Clearly Mom has had room for new challenges and excitement. It is neat to be back in a mode much like early childhood training, and is helping me equip my kids with important lessons on how to train to train a dog, and children. There are some similarities when it comes to consistency, patience, being clear, and working toward the end you want to see achieved!
