…of creating a litter full of very smart, eat-anything-not-nailed-down puppies.
I received a lovely report from Harmony’s people the other day. Apparently she has figured out how to open drawers (!!)…she just grabs on and pulls while walking backwards. Cindi and Patti are missing a few items (whoops) and will be investing in child locks soon. Ha! It’s so very naughty…but I have to laugh, too.
On the wonderful side, Harmony just graduated from intermediate obedience class and will be heading to an advanced class soon. Patti is doing a lovely job training her and they have started attending a class for service dogs together. They are hoping that by the time she’s a year old she’ll be ready to take her CGC and Delta Society therapy dog tests, and get her certification as Patti’s service dog. And I’ll tell you what…as proud as I am of the show dogs from the litter and their owners, I am JUST as proud of this family! I know that Pilot’s owners will be thrilled also…grandma Alice, in addition to helping propagate the trashund genes, seems to have contributed a few more desirable traits also.
She’s also a Delta Society therapy dog. I’m glad that Harmony can use her evil powers for good, also.

Thanks. We couldn’t adore the little kid more. She’s just awesome. I am, however, quite thankful that the rest of the Clan is not as smart. My goodness!

It’ll be so cool to have another service Cardi in the world! They can be very handy dogs

I think we’re ALL in trouble if the cardi kids learn to open the fridge.
Nash is trying to devise a plan to open the dog food container as we speak.

Jo & Keith… that kid opens everything! Geez Louise! Last night I found her climbing crates like a mountain goat to get to a washed pair of tennis shoes. Nothing is out of her reach!
