Molly teasing max

Molly is quicker than Max and is always first to get the toy during fetch.

Treat time

Max and Molly love playing in the snow so much we have been having a hard time getting them to come in. I have had to offer then treats to lure them to the gate. This picture is them waiting for their treat.

Squirrel teasing Max

Squirrels love to sit on the fence and taunt Max. you can see the squirrel in the upper left corner of the photo.

Molly's snack shrub

Now that the snow has covered up the grass Molly loves to snack on this bush. We try to keep her from eating the shrub as much as possible.

I guess it has been a while between posts.

Katahdin Iron Works.

After our hike we went for a drive about fourty miles away to Katahdin Iron Works. Katahdin Iron Works was a working steel mill from the 1800.

Hike

We took the dogs on what we were told was a two mile hike up a small hill. The hike turned out to be more like four miles long. When we got back Max and Molly collapsed for a long nap.

Max got wet with a little reluctance.

Max was a little slower getting into the water. He would walk around but never got into swimming like molly.

Molly over her head for the first time

We went camping at Peaks Kenny State near Dover Foxcroft this weekend. They had a great place for the dogs to learn to swim. This picture is molly over her head for the first time. You can see her surprise in her eyes when she realized she couldn't touch bottom.

Fence

The fence is coming along slow. Hopefully by the end of Memorial day weekend it will be done. This picture was taken weekend before last. We are working on the picket fence between the house and the garage now.

Fence Rock

Spring is here, frost is out of the ground, and we have started the fence for the backyard. We have been planning all winter to put up a fence to give the dogs a place to run. Saturday afternoon we got started and Lynn and I were able to get 4 posts in and 3 sections of 8' long fence up. Sunday morning KT and I got started again and four and a half hours latter with the help of Ben and Chris we had the fifth post in and the 900 pound rock moved out of the way.

Wags and Boston

Boston (left) and Wags (right) were Max and Molly's other two class mates. Boston was the entertainment and Wags was the star pupil.

Last puppy class

Sunday was the last of our puppy classes. During class a "saint-bernard mastiff" mix came to visit, he was just a little bigger than Max and Dusty.
