A little Cash!



Cash has been doing a pretty good job if fitting into the household. This may be a temporary stop on his journey, but I have a feeling he will do well whereever he goes.
Yesterday I was vending at the Leonberger Regional that happened to be held at the Colony Hotel in Kennebunkport. This is the site of the BCCA National in 2011 that we will be hosting in exactly a year.
It was a beautiful day! The sun was shining, there was a bit of a breeze, and the decor was wonderful, lots of pumpkins and mums and cornstalks-very fall in New England! (later I even took a walk around the hotel and along the road that faces the ocean....what a treat)
We took Cash with us. At 3 months I don't feel he is quite ready to be left to his own devises for the day! So we loaded up my stuff, his crate, expen, toys, bowl, water, food.....it's like taking a baby[lol]. We arrived early, around seven am, and set up our tent and all the little things that Cash would need.So far he has been a great traveler (or like Traveler) and rides just fine. He adapts quickly as well, and once out of the van, wanted to run around and smell everything. He was soon in his little house, with crate and toys and bowl, waiting for his breakfast. He wolfed that down and got to go for a bit of a walk. We need the practice, still getting used to the leash and all that.
Well he fell in love with the big dogs!
The feeling was mutual, as all the Leos thought he was adorable...or lunch, I'm not sure which. He also adored a big Newfie that was there with his Leo brother. Cash was petted and cooed at and talked to and petted, and adored by just about everyone. He always had a wagging tail and a tongue to kiss with. Cash has one of the best personalities I have seen. Traveler and Sadie did another fantastic job with this breeding. At one point a huge trash truck went down the alley right next to us and Cash jumped up and climbed up the expen to get a closer look. Nothing bothers him.
It was a nice day for him, and once we arrived home the three older dogs were SO glad to see him. They all checked him out and each had to have a turn playing with him-it went on all night!
Cash is becoming the little adventurer too. Today he has been trying to leap onto the counter to see what is up there....[sigh]. He is a very smart fellow!
He had a great adventure and made lots of new friends.
Next week we will try another new thing...the match that YCKC is having. Stay tuned for that one!
