Ch. Hartwyns Acadia Totality- Dwight

Dwight is a really special guy.  He is very moderate- in every way.  I haven't measured him recently, so I don't know how tall he is.  He is balanced and fits himself.   His head planes are level, eye shape and size are correct.  His ears are Natural!  His foot timing is perfect and he moves effortlessly.  His temperament is easy going and responsive, but not nervous in any way.  His coat is Huge and great texture.  I have done a bunch of his health testing- which is on the OFA website- and so far he is a very "Normal" dog.   This is a really nice guy and I am excited to have him.

Carrots- my new favorite chew toys

Carrots make great chew toys.  They are 100% edible, 100% digestible, easy to find, and inexpensive.  The larger the better if they will be used for recreational chewing.   I had given the baby carrots as treats, but then I bought these large carrots to feed our mules and I was reminded how great the big carrots are for the dogs to just chew.

They are so happy
