Hi Nicole,

Another Lola and Ivy update.

Both girls graduated from puppy school- at the top of their class (they
share the honour). We were very proud of them. In typical Lola and Ivy
fashion, they didn't like (or should I say want) to practice at home but
turned it on at puppy school and had everyone amazed at their obedience.

The pups came for a visit to school on the last day of term. My class
absolutely adore hearing stories about them and have constantly asked for
them to come and play. The last time they saw the pups was a few weeks
after we got them. The kids couldn't believe how big they were. It was
adorable seeing 19 prep children each take turns and walking the pups
around the oval and gently patting and talking to them.

Lola and Ivy still love the garden- my beautiful flower bushes are flat in
the middle but growing nicely around the outside (hopefully you can see
the picture). They love playing chasey around all the trees and often come
out with leaves and twigs all over them. They have also taken to pruning
some of the larger trees- which makes me really happy.  Its so hard to be
grumpy with them- especially when they pull the cute innocent Im sorry
look.

I hope everything went well with the last litter and the new owners are as
pleased with their pups as we are with ours.

Brooke.
