Foxy and Barda Blue ("Yellow & Blue")


On top is Foxy ("Yellow") in her Halloween costume - clever disguise! She lives in Michigan and is "growing like a weed" - 34 pounds currently. She sits, shakes, and lies down, but her best trick is to have a treat placed on each front paw, then she will wait until she is told before she eats them. Below her is Barda Blue ("Blue") who was weighed a couple of weeks ago at 25 pounds. She is certain to more than that now! Blue has been trained to fetch, sit, lie down, and offer her paw. She bounds and hops around the yard when chasing her ball. She also has a boyfriend, some sort of red retriever. They stare at each other through the fence, but now seem to be trying to tunnel to each other. Out on the street in Spokane, people will guess at Blue's breed. Some of the guesses have been Portuguese Water Dog, Giant Schnauzer, and Bouvier. No one has guessed Poodle/Rottweiler, and I predict they probably never will!
