He's Officially 3 Years Old!

Yesterday was Lox' official #3 birthday, making him, well, about 9 years old in people years. We celebrated with a turnout at Martinez Arena, where he has quickly discovered that the shady corner with the dried willow leaves on the ground is a nice spot to hang out during these dog days of summer, followed of course by a deep muzzle dip in the trough and a little game with the spigot.

Lox is sporting our new Chris Cox training halter and lead, which arrived this week and is a great invention for safety and communication! Kudos to horse trainer Ron Hutchison for the suggestion. Thanks to friends and neighbors Monica and Steve, we're getting a lot of benefit from the Chris Cox training DVD's as well.

Next year, carrot cake!
