This was our 3rd visit to Ballito and Orion’s first experience at the sea.  We stayed at Paws for Thought again, always wonderful accommodation.  A promo for Eukanuba who sponsor the JOY Dogs’ food was organised at Absolute Pets and a very successful visit in all.  The car handled well and the dogs were happy […]

A delightful show for the old folk and a special birthday visit.  Orion joined the team and performed very well.

This advert was filmed in the studio with a fan to get the desired effect.  Oscar ran true to form and was a star.  I think he liked the wind in his face.  

Yola achieved Gold CGC and Orion Bronze and Silver – I am very proud of them! And thanks to Caring Friends in Vanderbijlpark for hosting the tests.

With the arrival of Orion we needed a bigger car.  A 7 seater Suzuki Ertiga was purchased, the rear seats removed and a platform fitted.  Now plenty of room for the dogs.

This is what my music studio looks like when I’m practicing guitar – hardly any space for me!

The learners were treated to a show by the JOY Dogs, they were enthralled at the tricks and beauty of the dogs and learned a lot too. This was our second visit there so we must be doing something right!

I made collages from puppy photos from Valeriya, the breeder in Russia and one from when Orion arrived here.  The first photo is the one where I fell in love with Orion.  

An awesome JOY Dogs show at this school.  The children were so well disciplined and it was a pleasure to present our show.  The dogs were great as usual and we have been asked back for next year.
