It's likely to become another busy year

Hello! Mint here again!

I had another busy weekend starting on Friday.

On Friday I attended a summer camp of the Camp Quality as an Outreach Therapy Pet and had a lots of fun with many kids and other therapy pets.

I shook hands with many kids.

Saying hello to Mr Donkey as well.

Everyone was having a great time!

On Saturday I attended the Informative Day for Outreach Therapy Pets volunteers interested in joining Foundation Courses for therapy dogs with their own dogs, and I demonstrated some off-leash work that they are going to learn on one of the courses and some tricks that I am going to help teach in a new tricks class for therapy dogs.

Waiting for my turn to do a demo.

On Sunday I went to the Hound Racing with Cinnamon!! We LOVE racing!! It's exciting and lots of fun!

Cinnamon the hunter!

Cinnamon was running ahead of the lure!

Wait! 

I am flying!

Tug of war!

I wonder what I am going to do next weekend!!!!

Basic obedience class for therapy dogs

It's me, Mint, again!

From late May to last Saturday I went to a class for therapy dogs to learn how to behave well off leash.

I really enjoyed the class, meeting some new friends who were also therapy dogs every Saturday. Now that the class has finished, I really miss them!



This is Mo. I truly admire him. Mum always complains that I can't stay, but Mo is super good at stays! He can stay in one place without problem even if he can't see his mum.


This is Maddie. She is a super friendly doggie. She wants to say hello to every dog she sees.


This is Mandy. She is a charming and stylish girl. She always wears her bandanna that suits her really well. She is small but runs really fast when she goes back to her mum in her recalls!


This is Sally. She was the largest dog in the class but also the most gentle girl as well.


By the way that sweet looking black Labrador sitting behind us is Jess, our instructor's dog. She is my old friend since my puppyhood too.

On the last day of the class we sat for a graduation exam (we did a series of off-leash exercises, a long distance recall, an out-of-sight stay, and so on) and we all passed!


I got a nice looking certificate of completion of the class.


After the class, we all promised to get together again for walks. I can't wait for the walks!

Oh, I shouldn't forget to mention that Cinnamon was waiting in the car during my exam. Thank you Cinnamon!
