Life with Winnie...

We have had our sweet Winnie with us since the beginning of January, so almost a full month. She is awesome, we love her. The learning curve has also been steep. I did not expect her to knock our kids over and bite them as much as she has, but still, we love her. She is learning and she is so trainable. We had a dog trainer come to our home last week and he gave us some amazing tips. The call to the trainer was made after a day of much biting and jumping (not the vicious kind, just puppy playing kind). But we are on our way now and she is doing great. 

This weekend she had her first visit to the Pacific Ocean. She was exhausted after a morning of running around and exploring Crescent Beach. Our philosophy is that a tired puppy is a good puppy. This lines up closely with our parenting philosophy, so there is a lot of walking going on around here :)

Here are some other pictures of our last few weeks. These include: swimming lessons, nature walks, a field trip to the fort, and a bald eagle on our neighbors chimney.
