Playing Catch-Up

It was a wet, drizzly and muddy day today - what better way to celebrate the muck than to invite a new pal into the arena: 7 month old MacKenzie, a red/yellow lab who Avalon adored!

And here's a movie
of my sis and I playin' with the new girl-pal!

Next up... I actually got to visit my totally pawesome brother, Jamie a couple of weeks ago. I absolutely adored playing with him and will always look up to him... well - he's waaaaaay bigger than moi!

And a week before that, you would not have believe how cold it got. Well... unless Momma took a pitchur of the hail that came down among all the pretty cherry tree blossoms!

And this might help explain why we've been so MIA. Avalon and me has been working ever so hard on our obedience routines, practicing three times a week and visiting our teach, Barbara and oh... gots a headache thinking about it all!!! But about a month ago, I did manage to earn my second leg of Open A (whoopee!). Next week, I'll be trying for my final leg - imagine... a CDX! Woo hoo... let's hope I can remember all the things I supposed to be doing! Will keep in touch!

What's a little rain and mud when there's running and romping to be done! Congratulations on your second leg--that's really great. Good luck with the next one. Hope to see you all soon, let us know when things slow down for you doggies!

A CDX would totally be awesome!!! We had a mild hail storm here in Malaysia too. We didn't get to experience it tho because it happened in another part of Malaysia. Great pictures, great post!
