Happy shots!

Ok I decided to post some happy/fun pictures of Kirby and Franklin since I feel like I've been writing a lot about his issues. The river has gone up with our recent rains which means my usual river spot has returned to, what essentially is a fenced in beach. There are barriers on 3 sides and huge river on the 4th side so its a good place to allow not so trustworthy dogs to play offleash. No escape routes :-) As an aside also, Kirby did EXCELLENT down there. Practiced lots of recall and lots of praise. I still don't know if he will ever graduate past a long line though because he is just too skittish in general for me to really ever fully trust, we will see where he is at a few months down the road and see if he will earn more freedom. Maybe with Franklin as an example he will learn that minding=FUN!

I love this next one, Franklin just can't stand that I am trying to take a picture of someone other than him so he decided to block the shot lol!

Adorable! He's looking better already. With Franklin keeping him in line, I hope Kirby becomes an equally behaved gentleman. :)

Oh, so nice to see his Corgi smile! For some reason I thought he was BHT, but he's a red-headed who's still fading.. So handsome!

probably because he usually had his ears back in pictures so it was hard to tell he was a red-headed! Can't wait to see how much he fades out. Franklin's sister kept her black cap and she is RHT too. Today I was FINALLY able to get him to stay still long enough for a Frankie and Kirby shot! It was with my phone so not the best, but there's hope that I can actually get some non-action and non-sleeping photos of him yet! Lol. He NEVER stops moving unless its to sleep so I haven't been able to take many photos of him.

Aww look at those smiles! When I first saw him, I totally thought he was a BHT too.

Haha, I love the picture of the two of them with the stick! I wish Yuki and Ellie would play like that! They mostly just wrestle or Ellie barks at Yuki until he drops whatever he has. That Kirby is one handsome little guy!
