Good Citizen

Flash is attending his first Canine Good Citizen class tonight. The class is being taught by Rachel Amado at Maverick Ranch. This should be fun.

Flash loves the kittens

Flash accompanies me every morning and evening when I feed the kittens. He loves them, especially Bubba, who wraps himself around Flash's legs. The kittens are no longer afraid of the big dog and he no longer wants to chase them. The outdoor cats are another matter.

Pretty boy

Flash stays still long enough for me to take his picture.

An Outing for Flash

This morning Flash played Nana to the kittens. I brought them into the house while 50-50 was sleeping. See video.

This afternoon, we took Flash to Pine Valley for a hamburger and frosty. He got his own hamburger patty but had to share the French fries with us. I saved the last of my frosty for Flash...as far as we know, his first taste of ice cream. He loves ice cream, as do we all.

Flash and the Kittens

Flash goes into the kitten den every morning when I bring the food and let the kittens out of their crate. Bubba walks under Flash and bats at his legs while the other two kittens just skedaddle in opposite directions. Flash continues to be interested, but doesn't get aggressive, which is very, very good. He's mostly interested in their food.

On Wednesday, Flash had his last training session with Rachel. In June we will attend the night classes at Maverick Ranch so Flash can be certified as a Good Citizen.

Dog Meets Cat

Flash is such a sweet dog. I let him into the kitty playpen to see if he would try to eat the kittens--and he just laid down while the kittens investigated him. What a good doggie.
