Wonderful Weekend

We had a fabulous weekend up in Boise. The trial was fun and successful, and it was so nice to see good friends. Sully and Barley had a blast playing, although at first Sully couldn't believe how energetic the puppy was. Guess he's getting old! It was great to see Pat and Aileen. We also got to meet Pat's sister Shana and her daughter Claire. Ty thought Claire was beautiful! Check out their blog...http://shanahorvath.blogspot.com/

Linda, April, Julie and Bill drove down from Moscow/Pullman for the trial. All the dogs had impressive runs, and the ribbons were abundant. Ty was passed around to all the aunties, and got to meet April's grandbaby Christopher David. I walked most of the courses with Ty on my back, so hopefully he is starting to pick up handling skills at a young age! :)

Sully ran wonderfully for me this weekend. He picked up four qualifying runs and three new titles, but it should have been more if it weren't for his rusty handler! We'll get to see everyone again in August when the club holds their next trial.

To top the weekend off, Ty's 5th tooth came through! The 6th looks like it will closely follow.

Pat, Aileen, Josie and Barley


Chris has figured out zippers and tried to free Brekka. She was just happy to have Chris come and snuggle!




Julie was injured for the trial so she was the token Ty holder while I ran.


Our set-up, and Bill with Abby catching their breath after a fast tunnelers run. Ty visited each dog this weekend while pulling himself up on their crates.


Sully and his loot, although he donated the toy to Ty.


Ty and his loot. Impressive! Thanks to Bandit and Kimber who gave Ty three stuffed trucks! Thanks Auntie April for the books!




The best part of loot, playing with it!


Nana has been asking for videos of Ty crawling

Here's another



A video of our last run of the weekend. Maybe next trial I will remember that I have a video camera and get more runs filmed. The class is tunnelers and it is Sully's favorite. You even get to see me make an error and Sully save my heiny (not to mention the running like a duck factor)!!



Our entertainment Saturday night
