#TBT summer lovin

Happy #TBT!  The weather today is finally bearable so the dogs seem much happier. In this #TBT Trevor & Sharkie are looking forward to another adventure. 

Next week we are taking the pups camping, so we will look for a good camping throwback to share. We will also post about our Wheaton Wagon (camper) renovations soon!

#flashback Friday

Hello! 

Our apologies for not posting our usual #throwbackThursday post, sometimes we get a bit distracted! To make it up we have decided to do a Flashback Friday post! 

The heat here in Washington has been unbearable and we know we would love to get away to some cool water! Here is a picture of Sharkie enjoying a day on a boat!!

Enjoy your Friday! And look out for a post over the weekend about Chrissy Miss and her mischievous ways!!

#TBT- relaxin

Dogs can keep you company and provide endless entertainment. They can also teach you how to lay back and relax. Observe Remora enjoying some r&r (and getting her belly rubbed while she's at it!) 

Happy Thursday!

Happy Fourth of July! #TBT

"Yesterday the greatest question was decided which ever was debated in America; and a greater perhaps never was, nor will be, decided among men. A resolution was passed without one dissenting colony, 'that these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States'."
2 July 1776, John Adams in a letter to his wife, Abigail.

We hope you all have a nice holiday and keep your dogs safe from the firework celebrations!

Since today is Thursday we thought we would share an extra adorable throwback Thursday picture with you:

The Declaration of Independence states that, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." In the Turner house we believe happiness is spending time with man's best friend.

Becoming a Turner

Things here at Turnercamp are busy and bustling as usual! Bringing a new dog into your home takes work and patience, especially when they are a bit older and have lived in other homes with different rules. Our newest addition, Chrissy, is such a sweet little girl and we are loving having her in our home but there have been some challenges.

Although she is playful and a gentle dog, Chrissy is less confident than the other dogs we have brought in. It seems she has some anxiety, and we have been working with our wonderful trainer Chelsea who has also been working with us to make Grady a therapy dog. The training is working very well, making her feel more confident. Her anxiety is apparent when she cries at the telephone and how she is very shy in public. Arley has taken her under her wing in the training department. There have also been a few potty issues in the house, though both Chrissy and Grady are guilty in this respect…due to everyone’s new adjustments. Luckily these issues are getting resolved for Mom’s sake! Grady is very fond of Chrissy, and she gets him to play several times a day. Trevor and family friend Nik rough house (gently) with her, which gives Grady a welcome break from her high energy. It is fun having a younger dog in the house but she can be hard to keep up with! However, she is one of the most fun dogs to play with because she is our first wheaten that plays “fetch” (terriers are not very good at this game in general, and her version is the closest we may ever get…) She is a big fan of her toys, peanut butter treats, and of her food. Her appetite has been very good since day one!

With all the playtime Chrissy gets and the training, she is acclimating and adjusting well. She had also been spayed shortly before we picked her up, so she still had stitches and such when we adopted her. At first they bothered her and she used her leg to scratch at them, so we bought her a “dog T-shirt” at our pet store. She looked a bit silly but it was very effective! The area has healed very nicely.

We are very thankful for Chrissy (Miss Puddin’) and are enjoying working with her to provide a happy family life.
