July 4th Weekend


Drove north to visit Decker and Shasta's puppies this weekend. It's around a 3-1/2 hour drive from Beaverton to Bothell, so we opted to drive up on Friday evening and stay at Sandy and Jim's house on Wye Lake in Port Orchard. Its always great to visit with Sandy and Jim (although Sandy was not there this visit) and the dogs and I always have a hard time tearing ourselves away from the relaxation of the lake when we leave.

Saturday and Sunday morning both dawned cool and overcast, but we forced ourselves to take the dogs down to the water and get some training in both days. The dogs enjoyed themselves and the less seasoned dogs are making nice progress. I traveled with Decker and Chili this weekend and gave them a review of some of the tasks for Versatility since they are entered in a trial in a few weeks. I did a little grooming both days too, with a bath and some brushing and light trimming for Decker and his great-Aunt Sabrina.

We visited the pups on Saturday evening and enjoyed them so much that it was hard to tear ourselves away. They are a sleek and healthy bunch of pups and I am excited to see how they mature.
