Playdate for Brandy & Stella

In Pets by Steve Sliwa

We arranged a play-date with Stella (Sharon & Dan Riggs) with Brandy at the Fountain Hills dog park.  They were litter-mate sisters and hadn’t seen each other since the pick-up day when they were 8 weeks old.  We missed Poodle Palooza hosted by Springer Clan Standard Poodles which is an annual gathering of the various poodles bred by SCSP.

It was a fun rendezvous at the dog park.  The conformation of Brandy and Stella was amazingly similar.  They enjoyed reconnecting.  It was also fun to watch our mini-goldendoodle play with Stella as well.

Brandy showed Stella her favorite dog park activity … squeaky-ball fetching.  Stella started playing with the squeaky-ball right away.  By the end of the hour, she sprinted out after the ball just like Brandy.  I bet she grows to really like it.

We are planning a follow-on play-date to go swimming together.  Brandy is now an excellent swimmer and it will be fun to see if we can get Stella to enjoy in as well.

Here is a video of Brandy showing her the fetching part.  Stella looked exactly like this about 15 minutes later, we just didn’t get it recorded.
