Update On The New Puppy

Back by popular demand, Riley the 5 month old Wheaten Terrier, graduated from “Puppy School!” As you remember, she resides with Cathy Ryan, LPG Call Center Supervisor. Riley’s eight weeks of school taught her to sit, lay down, stay, leave it, and her personal trick “kisses.” She loves to tease, jump, play, and go for extended walks.

Graduation day

Riley made her first LPG office visit to see loyal fans, Linda and Catherine, who work for Drs. David and Saludo. She brought the ladies a Halloween treat prior to the start of office hours. Please wish Cathy good luck with Riley’s continued training! Stay tuned for updates as the months progress.
