i think i might stop by petsmart after school tonight and quiz them on background, etc. i think it might be worth a shot, i dont know... the socialization thing is a big deal, too.

that website content is blocked where i work.. can't get the pic =(

getting my dogs used to the water a little bit... i throw their toys while playing fetch, of course. on occassion i will toss them into one of the $5 walmart swimming pools, so they get in it and retrieve the wet toy. is this a good idea? think it will help when i get them to real water?
