Snowflake's Blog Part Three

Snowflake is training to be a disability dog. She currently lives in Auckland with her foster carers Vicki and Simon who help her write her regular blog posts explaining what she's up to. Here is her third post!

I love my bed! Sometimes Ada likes to come and share my bed with me.

Ada and I went to the French Markets with my foster parents. We were very good and waited patiently while my foster parents went and bought some brunch. When they came back, lots of people were waiting to see if they could meet us.

I love going to the park. My foster parents take Ada and me there to train some days. We get to practice our recall which makes me very excited! I get to run fast back to my foster parents and then play with my tug toy as a reward. I love running!

I was very lucky. I was allowed to attend GAP's Auckland Behavioural Workshop. Flip Calkoen from Flip's Top Dog ran the workshop. He is lovely and all the greyhounds and their owners learned a lot from him. It was nice to see other greyhounds. Flip let us play together after we had worked hard on our training.

My foster Mum put me in a down-stay in the middle of Flip's training ground. She left me there for a long time. That was okay though, because I got to watch all the other greyhounds working around me!
