Playtime and bath time!

We love watching the Kings game...had to take some pictures of the girls yesterday with the ball. We are working on something, but I think I need a friend to help with the photo shoot. 

Listening to our friend Kayte do the radio analysis on the Kings! 

Bath time! Not the girls favorite day. We went to Pet Food Express for their baths, it's a great self service place. 

Doesn't Battier look pampered? She's such a good girl!! 

Work and play...

Yesterday I went to the Raiders game to see Britton and the Broncos! Britton loved the picture I shared with him of Battier in his jersey and Shawn holding the ball! 

Since I wasn't sure about how the Raiders crowd would be, I asked my friend Kayte to watch the girls for the day. Lucky for Battier she got to go to work with Kayte to KHTK 1140 to do the Sacramento Kings and OKC Thunder analysis. Kayte's report on Battier was that she was great and slept all during work. I wouldn't expect anything less from this awesome dog! 

Sometimes we get asked if service dogs get to have fun....well, here are just a FEW of Battier's toys! She LOVES her toys and has another full box on our tennis court. 

Battier is such a happy girl! I just love her and I'm looking forward to seeing what she chooses to do in the future. 

CCI NW November 2014 Graduation

On November 7th we drove to Santa Rosa for the NW November graduation! It's always amazing to see the new graduates and fun to meet up with friends. We arrived to campus and the girls were able to play in the big CCI park. It's always so much fun for them! 

Battier, Froomin, Clyde and Charlena. 

France, Battier and Jane...all Sacramento dogs that know each other from class. 

The agility tunnel is always a lot of fun! 

Jane and Battier stop for a drink! 

Cousin Spencer in the play yard! 

After graduation we went to see Hiltie and her family! It's always so nice to see them! Hiltie was my 2nd CCI puppy and she was my first graduate. On November 19th Hiltie will turn 12! It's so hard to believe, but she still looks great and is still working as a Skilled Companion. 

Hiltie gets to open her present with the help from Battier. 

We recreated a picture of when I picked up Battier last December from Karen. I was in Cabo when Battier was ready to come home so Hiltie's family kept her for 4 days. 

Shawn, Battier and Hiltie. 

On our way to Santa Rosa. 

Lunch by CCI at Dada's...they have some awesome sandwiches! 

People were pretty impressed to see 10 dogs under the table outside. These are: 

Elsie, Jane, Cami, Battier, Shawn, Sabina, Azuki, Forever and Delphi. Mingo was there, but wasn't in the picture. 

11 months apart...pretty amazing. 

Sacramento Kings!

The Sacramento Kings are back in season and we love going to the games to cheer on our friend Jason Thompson! Last week we went to a Kings game vs the Denver Nuggets. The Kings played very well and got a big win! CCI puppy Destry came with us to the game, she's a little over 3 months old and she did great! 

Battier and Destry before the game. 

We sent a tweet to Slamson the mascot for the Kings asking him to come over and take a picture with the dogs. He came over right away! We got some cute pictures and it was another great training opportunity for the dogs, they both did very well. 

Destry sleeping during the game. 

Kisses for Slamson. 

Destry trying to get Battier to play. This was during half time and they only did this for a few minutes before going back into their controlled downs. 

49ers game!

We went to the 49ers and Rams game after Halloween. There is an awesome golf course parking lot next to Levi's Stadium and we actually parked on the driving range! Pretty awesome. We arrived around 9:30 and stayed at the tailgate until about 12:30. It wasn't as hot as it was the last game. Battier did great as usual. 

Good "up" practice, Battier held this position for awhile. 

Not winning ;) Battier is good at posing for the photos! 

A little Corn Hole...don't mind the Rams logo, our friend Lisa's husband is a Rams fan. 

The 501 Club seats have a walkway from the private bar to our seats, this area looks down to the main concourse, so much red! 

People spilled popcorn all over the floor. I moved most of it, but there were some pieces left. A great test for Battier...she passed!
