Congratualations Pearl on Novice Jumpers Title

          Pearl earned her AKC Novice Jumper's agility title this afternoon - she did it in 6 runs (there was a learning curve in effect)!  Now she runs in Open standard, Open Jumpers. 

4th Place - Q - Title

Wish it were in focus!

 Tibby - the likeness to Pearl is remarkable!

Again, wish it were in focus!

It's Pea Time not Tea Time

 Instead of Tea Time at my house we have Pea Time.

 Purchased this batch of fresh picked, locally grown peas from Tenney's farm an hour before devouring.

 

 

Tibby and Reina's 10 day visit

      

      Tibby and Renia arrived last night.  They are here until the 8th.  Tried getting some photos of Tibby, but she moves around a lot.  Here's the best I could do for now.

Above - Willow Sunshine, back to camera, Nash on the floor, Tibby belly up with her tongue hanging out, and Pearl.

 Tibby - The few seconds she stood still - still working on the face shot.

Is this the canine equivalent to the "devil" fingers behind the head when people joke around in photos?

Willow Sunshine, with Tibby's feet.

Pearl's Apple Fun - with video

The other day one of the contractors left his truck door open. Pearl made a beeline right for the truck, jumped in, and moments later dashed out.  "She's got your apple!" I said to Martin, who shrugged it off, the apple past being ripe for eating.  Not according to Pearl who horded it - My Labs LOVE apples!

 

Agility Practice

Operative word "PRACTICE"

Thanks for video taping Donna PFoot :)

Family Photo

     It was difficult this morning to get a really good shot of the three of them, Nash, Pearl and Willow Sunshine.  Pearl was in eradicate rodent mode.  Always on the go and ready if something is doing, it can be hard for her to sit still for long. She was kind enough to grace our presence, and appease me for a few minutes at least. Then she was off on the hunt!

Pearl had to sniff the flower in front of her.

Nash among the Daisies

     Every year - I would try to photograph Willow and Willow n Nash among the daisies - They were usually in bloom for Willow's birthday on May 30th.  This year they are several weeks late in blooming and kind of sparse, but here are a few of Nash among the daisies.
