It’s graduation day for Stormie the !!

If you’ve been following long enough, you’ve seen a featured English Cocker Spaniel named Shotzee, whom was my merry little sidekick for over 15 years. This might paint the picture of how wonderful it’s been to have Stormie in training with us for the last two weeks!

Stormie quickly picked up the basics and was adventure ready almost instantly! Conquering the world one pet friendly store, park and restaurant patio at a time—not to mention a super fun beach trip and her first stay at an Airbnb! She’s been just about everywhere with us and loved every second.
Today, she returns home to .hair and where she will keep up her skills, keep exploring the world and getting pup cups, be doted on by the girls at and mayyyyyybe not bother her fur siblings as much at home. 😆

Just a few short weeks until Stormie is back for boarding and we are already counting down the days and planning new adventures!

Keep voting!!! Only a few days left!!!
