Arrival

Last Saturday Anikin arrived on Chebeague Island with his brother Obie, a yellow lab.  Anikin is part border collie but mostly black lab.  He's sometimes difficult to see in photos. 

Anikin plans to spend 7 weeks alone with Lita and Bop-Pop.  His family wants him to learn to swim.  Don't you think an island will be a good place for that?  Anikin also needs to recognize commands like come, sit, stay, and heel.  Can you think of any others he should learn? 

Lita took Anikin for a long walk yesterday and another one today.  He was  scared of the loud rumble of a dump truck and the shrill calls of  a bossy raven.  A minute ago, Bop-Pop found Anikin eating clam shells and told him, "No!" 

Anikin has so many things to learn!
