Happy Thanksgiving!

Well, in celebration of Thanksgiving I thought i'd post Winston's holiday photo for 2005! There are a lot more, but the rest will have to wait until closer to Christmas!



Winston's favorite Leader Dog, Willow had a wonderful idea of posting what she was thankful for this Thanksgiving. I'm pretty sure that Winnie would be thankful for a lot more than I can think of, but here is my best attempt. :)

*His foster mom, Laura!
*His original trainers (Betsy, Roseanne and Julie)
*His job
*Not being stuck in the house all winter like last year while I recovered from surgery.
*Clicker Games
*His favorite Aunt, Megan.
*The Hilbert-Hess family (including Delta Therapy Dog Molly!)
*His well trained best friends in the entire world!! CPL Ivy, SSD Ross and SSD Sequoia!
*His little brother, Liberty
*Food!!!
*Zeth and Dierdre and the entire Phila Pet's gang!!!

And so much more, i'm sure.

Oh, and I almost forgot. Winston and I started a new task this week! Something i've wanted to do for years, teach Winston to throw things into the trash for me! I'm free shaping the entire behavior, and it's been too much fun. He has definitely not gotten it yet, but he will. :) I'll try to post a more in depth entry about the training if anyone wants me to.

Happy Thanksgiving!
