Fun in the Sun! Summer 2010

While Chloe is not exactly a fan of heat she loooooves summer and water. She loves to swim in the lake and in the pool. We brought her to the cottage and she jumped right in! Bella (the new puppy) and Chloe are not exactly best buddies yet but their love of water seems to be bringing them together. There is a lake down the road from my parents' house and I was so happy to see the two dogs running around together in the water.

Now a Bella update: Bella is 6 months old now! She was spayed just recently and was none too pleased about being under 'house arrest' for a week. (She was only allowed to go outside on leash as she loves to jump and run, imagine that lol!) She is the typical Golden Retriever puppy; loving, sweet, and crazy hyper! She gets into a lot of mischief and her nickname is Marley (Marley & Me movie) since she looks like him and acts like him. I also call her 'Terror on 4 Feet'. She makes up for her naughtiness with her adorable looks though. Oh and in case you didn't know Bella does not live with me, she lives with my parents! (I'm not that crazy to have both Bella and Chloe in one townhouse ha!)

So anyways here are some pictures from Early Summer 2010!

Chloe's Issue

So being a full time puppy parent is super rewarding but it comes with its challenges. One of which is that no dog is perfect, Chloe being no exception. She has had issues with other dogs since she was around 8 months of age. This started after she was attacked by a large dog. Ever since then she will growl and snap at other dogs who approach her. This has been difficult for me because I just moved to a new city and making friends is difficult when your dog doesn't like the other person's dog. We are starting training classes soon and hopefully we can sort out Miss Chloe's issues. She is such a sweetie so I know she will be fine. I will put some updates on how her training is progressing.

Sad & Happy News

I forgot to mention in my last post that my family had a huge loss in March. Our beloved Golden Retriever, Jazzy, passed away suddenly. It was a hard time for us all. Chloe was upset as well in her doggy way I am sure, she loved Jazzy.

Our family just wasn't the same without a dog so we added a new puppy to our family recently. Her name is Bella and I'm sure Jazzy would have loved her. She is purebred Golden Retriever and a bundle of energy. Chloe wasn't too sure of her at first but now they get along great. We visit her at my parents' house often and sometimes Bella comes in to see us :)

Almost Summer!

So I have neglected my blogging this year it seems...

It's almost June now and Chloe is doing great.

She got a summer haircut and is happy to be outside in the sun once again! We have a new roommate now that has a dog, Max. They are best of friends. Chloe also has some new rabbit and guinea pig friends. She loves them a lot. She is a very happy puppy!

Cousin Princess Comes To Visit

So my Aunt's Toy Poodle, Princess, came to visit a couple days ago. Chloe absolutely loves her. They always run around crazy together since they are both young, Princess is 2 and Chloe is 1 year old. I took a video of the two girls showing off their cute tricks.
