Hello again
Well we met Hope on the 10th of May in Trout Lake Park (I am not
sure why they haven't renamed the park Doggy Heaven Park).
So, Hope
has owned us now for 10 days and is pleased that we are responding
so well to most training. She had a little difficulty in teaching
us that she gets to go where she wants to go when she wants to go
there, but we are people after all and are not all that easy to
train.
Hope arrived at Boat Bluff Lighthouse on the 14th and pretty much
runs the place now.
There is a pack of wolves on our Island, several black bears and
possibly cougars, so keeping an eye on our adventurous little pup
is a full time job.
The local ravens that love to torment Billy (our first rescued border
collie cross) have found a nice new target and will sit just a few
feet above a madly barking and jumping Hope, enjoying themselves
immensely.
Hope still has a few new discoveries to make. She has yet to meet
the local sea lion population, the resident Orca and Humpback whales
and white sided dolphins. She will be taking her first trip in a
boat in a week or so and you can see her in one picture trying to
untie the boat.
Finally we have to put both Billy and Hope, who are getting along
famously, in prison from time to time, when we are unable to keep
a close enough eye on them during our daily work. She looks so sad
that usually either Charlotte or I will stop what we are doing and
"accidentally" let her go.
Will let you know how she is making out in a while
Mike and Charlotte Higgins
