A day at Half Moon Bay.

It was a beautiful day at Half Moon Bay. Shawn played on the beach and loved every minute of it! The weather was perfect and the sunset was amazing!! 

Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas!! Shawn had a great Christmas. She was very happy with the present she opened. She was also a good sport about wearing the reindeer antlers! 

Bell Ringing for the Salvation Army!

Today we went to the Arden Fair Mall and rang the bell for the Salvation Army. Shawn was a hit! Everyone loved her and how she could pick up and hold the bell.

Grand-puppy Lacinda visits.

Grand-puppy Lacinda is spending a week with us! She is from McKenzie's litter, McKenzie was from Chandra's 4th litter with Randy. It has been fun having a puppy in the house again.

New CCI Breeder Tosca II

Tosca II has been selected as a breeder. Tosca is Chandra's grand-puppy!! She is from AKEELAH and Kaelen's litter. She looks just like Akeelah and Chandra as a puppy!

All clean, thanks to Pet Food Express

I took Shawn to Pet Food Express for the self service bath. They are great about taking care of service dogs and even Shawn as a retired breeder. It only takes 25 minutes and she was washed and dried!

Greek Week Fun

Shawn has had a fun week! First we went to Tahoe for Spring Break and then came home for Greek Week activities. Shawn is definitely getting a lot of attention and she's loving it! :)

Happy 7th Birthday!!!

Happy 7th birthday to Shawn!!! She has been enjoying the great weather that we've been having. She has been going with me to CSD's softball games and we've been enjoying walks in the sun :)

Chandra's legacy...

I've been thinking about how much of an impact Shawn has had on CCI. Over her breeding career she had 36 puppies. 5 puppies were chosen as breeders. 1 is a Skilled Companion (Oasis II). 1 is a Successor Service Dog (Maura) and 3 are Facility Dogs (Omari II, Ayla & Macy III) with one still in AT and hopefully graduating in May (Milano).

Here are a list of breeders that are related to Shawn:
