Thornapple Intuition "Mylie"
Everyone had a great time at graduation last night. We only had collies and aussies so Alice didn't get to play with her favorite little white fluffy dog but she got to play with all of the big dogs. We played some obedience games and had some playtime for the dogs (Alice's favorite part of class) and then had some snacks (Mylie's favorite part and Collin's too!!). The dogs had homemade dog biscuits and the humans had butter pecan cake! Take care, Angela CONGRATULATIONS Miss Mylie & Miss Alice!
HAPPY VALENTINE WISHES!
