Copper has a visit

posted Oct 30, 2011 5:46 PM by Jon Richards

We haven't forgotten about you. We NEED some more class time! Am recovering from some surgery. Mike brought Copper up to the hospital twice where he behaved well. He did bark twice (you know, the herding, come play with me crouching bark). Gotta work on inside voice. Thanks for all you do.

Copper visits Pam in hospitalCopper visits Pam in hospital

I am doing very well. No heavy lifting or walking a dog who pulls for 6 weeks. But since my superior dog does not pull on the leash, we have been out for a few 2 milers. Yard is finally fenced so he has some romping space. Yay.
