Nothing better than family and fun in the jacuzzi on Labor day at The Little Farm. And our dog Smokey trained with the children before – she was so great – calm and really smart – we are thinking that we are going to train her to be a service dog. She has the intelligence and loves working hard. Its hard work for me too but so worth it. So much to learn – ringing a bell to get help, becoming a brace to help someone get up, and of course huge obedience for sit, down, stay and so much more. We are just touching the surface but learning a lot – both of us!
Lunch was pot luck – everyone brought something yummy – roast chicken, taco and tortillas with beans, rice, cheese and lettuce, a delicious watermelon tomato feta green onion salad, cupcakes ( DELICIOUS), fruit salad, my home made pumpkin bread, hard boiled quail eggs and chips and salsa. What a feast! Thanks family! And for cleaning up too!
