Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One who is leading —Oswald Chambers

The leaves in north Georgia are beautiful right now, but they won’t last long. After tomorrow’s rain, they will start to fade fast.

The students continue to decorate pumpkins and for some silly reason, I continue to take their photos!

Last Saturday, Chip headed back to Dog School 101 to take some extra classes in puppy manners and things like that. He’s such a good boy, but he enjoys being bad. From time-to-time, both he and Cocoa wear gentle leaders, which are not muzzles. The strap across the nose provides just enough pressure to mimic how a mother dog corrects and controls her puppy.

In this photo, Cocoa is watching Sandy (one of her trainers) fill up treat bags for another class. She really doesn’t take classes anymore. She’s a Delta Society dog, but she loves seeing her friends so much that she’s a regular visitor.

Even though there are 10 or 15 people in a class, Xalina and Sandy have plenty of time for “one-on-one” training. If you are looking for trainers that really want you and your dog to succeed, look no further than this facility.

Charles Spurgeon wrote, “When you can’t trace God’s hand in your circumstances; trust His heart.”

In reading Letters to an American Lady this morning, I ran across this quote and wanted to share it with you.

“You and I who still enjoy fairy tales have less reason to wish actual childhood back. We have kept its pleasures and added some grown-up ones as well.” —C. S. Lewis
