Tonight was the Ventura GDA puppy meeting Denise says we had a demonstration on the Children's Workshop GDA does for the elementary schools. Denise tried to put together a cutie bug with her eyes closed and could not find the holes to put the legs on. She also tried to put a puzzle together and was doing well till Ms. Terri turned it upside down.

Wow I finally get to go to my first Ventura GDA Puppy Raiser Meeting last month I was sick so we could not go but this month is the Halloween meeting and I came as a Purple Jelly Fish with my little clown fish jumping on my dome (Denise says if you seen Finding Nemo you will understand but she could not find pink fabric for my costume so I ended up purple). Catalina came as the Churro again Denise ran out of time to make Catalina's matching Jelly Fish. Catalina finishing the comeheel and a treatCome and a treat

Tonight Denise gave me and Catalina to some new puppy raisers who are still waiting for their puppies. Our meeting was a trick or treating threw the mall but we had to do a formal come, sit nice of greetings, down stay, leave it, or sit stay to earn our treats I earned 5 treats Catalina only earned 2 she was taking advantage of the new puppy raisers inexperience and she also ate the bone at the leave it station "I did not touch it". So when we all came back to the meeting room I was one of three who earned 5 bones and received a prize of a new toy.Fern being a good girl for new puppy raisersCatalina and Calle Harriet the octomom

Today Auntie Mary Lou picked me up from camp GDA and took me to her house till Denise & Sammie came to pick Auntie Mary Lou, Lyndi, & Me up for the Monthly Ventura GDA group meeting we all climbing into the car and went to go get Kasey and her little brother. This months meeting was a dinner at Souplatation and I saw my sister Calle who is staying with another raiser for a couple of weeks and then Yvonne from the puppy department came out and we did some obedience to get us ready for open house puppy trails. Denise handed me to Kasey and then she handed Sammie to Noami so she ended up with no puppies but she did have her camera so she took photos of all us working.Catalina & Calle (sitting) baby Arrogon walking thru the hola hoops taking a nap in the hola hoops Musical Stays Lyndi's very slow down Kasey and I are getting ready to start playing another round of musical stays Miss Polo Mr Pax Kasey Catalina & Calle Calle (L) & Catalina (R)
