let it SNOW..let it SNOW...let it SNOW !!!

Jesus is the reason for the season!!

Welcome to wonderful winter...

I apologise for not posting before this. no excuses!

I know you have probably been chomping at the bit to know all Harlys latest..sooo here it all is...

I took Harly to a wonderful training seminar for dog trainers. He was used as a demonstration dog which was great fun ! He got to eat LOTS and i mean LOTS of treats over the 2 days..which he never complained once !For a 4 month old pup...he did sooo well..and was soo well behaved..and cottoned on really quickly to all the new tricks they were getting him to do...like trying out a new remote controlled treat feeder...get to do a few obedience tricks and whammo...out pops a treat ! After about 2-3 times of realising the treat popped out of the feeder...he ran clear to it and knew a treat would pop out...smart puppy !!

Harly passed with flying colours at his 8 week Obedience class.. he really did great..we are soo proud of him.

Harly has grown into a really beautifully handsome young pup..weighing in now at close to 10 pounds ! He still loves to travel to the beach ..which we have 2 more times.. :)

My son Joel has been out from Australia visiting with us these past 3 weeks.. Harly just loved him straight away...of course...that meant...3 lots of treats each day...2--3---4-- times a day?? hehehe more the merrier in Harlys books !!
We had the pleasure of traveling to the Redwoods in California for 3 days..and driving then up the coast road in Oregon..spectacular scenery! Harly just loved running wild in the woods...sniffing..and eating the pine needles hehe..He had a fantastic time....( so did us adults too..hehe)

We have had 2 more visits also to the Nursing Home...last one being just prior to Thanksgiving...BTW.. * * HAPPY THANKSGIVING * * :)
There was one lady, Helen who had been really troubled since about 2.30am the morning we arrived...not sleeping..up and down...not settled at all..and raving on about the same thing...all morning...Juanita was almost besides herself...then along came Harly for his visit...well...Helen settled right down again...quiet as a mouse...enchanted with harlys new tricks he was showing off to everyone...She was content to just watch and observe all that Harly was doing...was a wonderful time..especially for Juanita !! :)
The nursing home is really such a blessing to these patients...beautiful elderly people..we just love visiting there..:)

lately ...Harly is really trying our patience ..hehehe. It's like having a 2 year old in the house...close this door..put that up...( especially tissues and socks!!)...don't leave that there !!! etc...and the prize act happened...just yesterday ( see pics>>>>>>>> ).....I opened a new ..brand new box of tissues...yes..Im sure you can guess already what he did !!! ... I took just 1 tissue from box..and placed box on coffee table...left room for 2 minutes...and upon entering living room...you would of thought we had a major blizzard .roar thru !! The floor was completely white.of shredded tissues..with this caramel coloured fluff ball in the middle of it !! with ...yes...a totally EMPTY tissue box....it took him 2 minutes ..to anaialate the whole box...HEHEHEHEHE...
Im sure my face was white also....with shock...horror...amazement...and then i just burst into fits of laughter...it really was the most hilarious sight i ever seen !!

Anyway...never a dull moment around here with our adored..loved HARLY !! We truly enjoy every antic...and moment of entertainment he brings...he is such a joy...a delight and great comfort ..not just to us..but to the nursing home..and also everyone he comes in contact with..a true little gift from God...

He is not fully trained..we still work with him on a daily basis...and will most likely at some stage next year..enroll him in intermediate obedience class..

We all here at the Coho's House..wish u a very MERRY CHRISTMAS....full of Gods LOVE...PEACE and JOY !!

Lots of love...xoxoxo
