Hi Don,
Just thought we'd let you know we are all adjusting quite well. We just
weighed Ollie tonight and he weighed in at 17.4 lbs!
He is doing quite well with most things, but we are struggling with him
biting. We have tried applying pressure to his jowls as Tom Dokken
recommends in his book, but we aren't having much luck with that method.
We have also tried walking away, but he is often chasing after us biting us!
We are wondering if you have any suggestions?
Thanks Tracy
Hi Don, hope your enjoying summer so far and u r staying out of trouble..lol...
With the hot weather we have been having as of late I took Rye to one of our beaches here and she found a toy to play with. we got a kick out of Rye carrying this toy up and down the rocky shore line. Rye knew this toy belong in the water and she was persistent to put it back in the water.
Here are some pics of miss Rye enjoying her summer so far.

Good evening Sunshine!
Yes we have been absentee emailers since the summer I think? That's my fault. I hurt my back and was quite restricted in my activity including hiking :( but we have been making up for lost time since March. Merlin is good! A mature 4 year old now, he is a full 80lbs now as he finally filled out and he has sprouted a few grey hairs on his chin and looks quite dignified.
He still gets into the detachment every so often to make his rounds with the prisoners and we get out on long hikes every block of days off again. I'll attach some pics.
That ol' Puck is spreading his seed! I bet he will top Storm some day. My friends had to put their Golden down in August and they have a mutt pup now with some collie and Shepard in her. She accompanies us on our hikes these days. His other buddies just left for Kugluktuk in NU but we may follow them next year who knows?!
Oh and Merlin now sleeps with me...he won me over. Every so often he gets relegated to the couch when he needs a reminder of the pecking order but otherwise he's still the cuddliest most lovable creature ever!
Thanks for emailing - it had been on my mind.

Hi Don,
I don’t know if you will remember us, but 13 years ago (Feb 28, 2004), Duce came into this world. He had a wonderful life and even this past weekend went to the cottage and swam in the Bay. Unfortunately, on Sunday after returning home, he passed away during his afternoon nap under his favorite tree in our backyard. We are all going to miss him tremendously; Dave, Pam and Gage his younger brother who you also graced us with.
For about the last year, Duce struggled with arthritis and a collapsed larynx, however, this didn’t stop him from doing what he wanted to do; it only slowed him down a bit. He was (and will always be) a beautiful boy!
Pam
Hey Don!
Yesterday we enjoyed a 7K hike along the East Coast trail with Roxy! She had a great time and enjoyed going through all the water and bog! She was rotten, but very happy :) I attached some pics of us on the hike! My oldest son, Connor, is in the pics. Nothing better than a boy and his dog ❤️ He loves her so much!

Hope things are well with you.

Don,
I thought this was a good picture of Daisy, so wanted to pass it on. She has fit in well with the family and is best friends with our 5 year old black lab.

Hi Don,
Our boy Buck is 7 years young today! He's now a big brother to two little girls who adore him, and is still as lively and fun-loving as the day that he came home with us.
I hope all is well with you. I've attached a few recent pictures!
Take care,
Jenna, Nick & Buck
Super shiny coat , loves his food as much as we do! Lol.
Thanks again Don.
Just saying Hello! Pretty good pup so far We just love him!
Eddie.
