Whew...summer has flown by!!

The PEAK DOGS and I have been soo busy with plans for the fall and doing performances, that I have not even had a chance to post updates!!

Sooo....I will briefly try to update the commings and goings of our spring/summer!!

In June we visited Charterhouse School for their final Mustang Monday!  

 In July we had fun at the Broadway Family Fun Day meeting some new friends...

And spent some quiet time saying Goodbye to old ones....

.....Then August came and we had a great time following around the Rockbridge Co. Library's Book mobile and spending time with the kids

and a little Relaxing in the Maury River afterwards....

Finally we spend the afternoon at the Augusta County Fair for their Community Night....

"Where we meet some really nice people and they even gave us some ice cream!!"

Its been a very busy summer!!!

Can't wait till the fall!

International Festival

Yesterday we set up at the International Festival in Harrisonburg, VA. It was a great turn out on a questionable day that ended in rain.  But before the rain came in, we had kids come over and make balloon puppies and colored pictures of the PEAK Dogs and a few of the Manadoob Characters.  We showed off a few tricks and met some parents and professionals that were interested in the program.  Hopefully, we will get some people making contact this week to pursue the program further.   I always almost forget to get pictures...but I did get a few....

1st summer camp!

Well our first summer camp was a success.  I think the kids and the dogs had a lot of fun and the kids learned about paitence and compassion.  We did crafts, read to shelter dogs, played agility, had team building activities and learned to teach some new tricks !!

I am looking forward to planning more camps and summer programs for next year...and we are already talking about maybe doing something on the a few weekends at the SPCA in the winter...
