Numbers of Monarch butterflies have dropped by over 90 percent in the last few decades, but there are things we can all do to help them survive!  Plant native Milkweed in your garden.  Milkweed is the only plant that the Monarch larvae eat and it’s the only plant where Monarchs will lay their eggs.  Without Milkweed, Monarchs will not survive!  Think about creating a butterfly habitat in your garden by providing food (Milkweed), water, an area for protection, and never use pesticides!

Here’s another fun image from the weekend dock diving event at Westwind Kennel.  This was just after the toy was tossed and the dog is launching from the dock.  Both dog and handler are focused on the toy which is in the air and out of frame. These dogs are amazing athletes and so much fun to watch!

What a fun time I had on Saturday at the North America Diving Dogs event at WestWind Kennel to benefit Chesapeake Bay Retriever Relief and Rescue.  I met up with my friend Rinn and her pup, Reesie, and new friend Penny and her pup, Shaman, who were competing.  (FYI…Rinn is Savannah and Gabriel’s foster mom from Siamese Cat Rescue Center!)  Above is Shaman super focused on the toy as she jumps off the dock.  Below is chocolate Lab, Reesie, ears in the air and a big smile on her face.  These dogs LOVE to dock diving!

Ruby is ready for her first ballet lesson!  Isn’t she adorable in her pink tutu?  Ruby was so much fun to photograph!  For such a young puppy, she was game for everything!  What a perfect little model!
