Training-playing-cooling off

I so clearly remember how much I would have loved to have been able to spend my summers the way these two are doing on the day these pictures were taken. Sadly, one was withdrawn from the program only days after these pictures were taken. A father didn't approve and a daughter left with a broken heart.

I only offer two positions to teens who want to learn about dogs and I do have a waiting list, so the spot was gobbled up within hours. I'm happy for the girl who got a spot after all, but my heart breaks for the one who now faces a bleak summer.
