Playing With Dad's Camera

Jennifer sent this photo of Matrix that she took with her Dad's camera, which is like mine - a Nikon I'm guessing?

At any rate, Mr Matrix is looking good!

Ms Jake Goes Swimming

Terra from Kansas City writes:

I hope you can open these pics up. Jake loves the water. It took her a while to get the guts up to go far enough out to swim, but she did it.

She is such a sweetie. Our obedience trainer said she had one of the best dispositions she had ever seen. We are so glad considering she was bit by a St. Bernard at 4+ months. We were worried she would be scared of other dogs, but not the case.


She loves anything that moves. :) We hope you all are doing well. Take care.

* Sounds like Guy, Jake's brother.... He loves everyone and other dogs, too.

Ridgeback Play Date

From Amanda,

I had to share some pics of the boys from yesterday. We went to the local park where so many dog owners use the baseball fields as a dog park. The city (Pensacola) is supposed to be building a dog park in the area but have not YET broken ground- no one is holding their breath!

Anyway here is Logan and Roadie who have become the best of friends. Not sure who initiates the play but this is the typical game.



One poses the question, "do you wanna play?" with a play bow. The other answers, "Of course I do!" w/ a jump slap. Then the boxing begins. They do this for a few moments until one breaks free and runs off- looking back as if to say, "Catch me if you can."


Logan is finally finding his place in the pack. He has really gotten better w. his recall. Yesterday at the park there were about 6 dogs all running around- I called him to come and he started to run toward me when another tried to play with him- he ran around that dog to get to me to sit in front of me. His trainer worked very hard w. me to master that skill. He is a great boy and we are getting CGC'd soon. And for Roadie- we have sent his paperwork off to Therapy Dog International for consideration as a therapy dog- he passed the test with flying colors so hopefully they'll see what a great dog he is!

Harley (my sister's Ridgeback) is here this weekend for a visit. The kids are having a blast- makes me want to get another one- a girl! I am outnumbered here :)

Calling Home

Here are a couple of pics of Jake taken in the last few days. She is getting big. We are working adult food into her diet already. We are excited to hear that her brother might be coming to the area. We got to play with her ridgeless brother, Titus, the other day. We hope you and all of your dogs are doing well. We enjoy looking at the photos on your blog about the pups growing. Take care.

Ah, they are growing up fast...
