Dog show

Jonathan participated in a dog show with his mom's dog Boo over Spring Break. He did a great job and won several ribbons!





He's also doing a great job taking care of Lyra here at home. She's lost a lot of the extra weight she had when she first came to live with us. And, he's taught her several new commands. My dad even said she was the best behaved dog he had ever met when he kept her a few weeks ago....shhhhh...don't tell Pepper!

Elizabeth has learned the sign (opening her mouth and panting) and the word for "dog" now....although her word comes out more like "Doh!"...and we're not sure how to teach her it's not attractive when she makes the sign for "dog" while her mouth is full!
