field training

Dodger, Proxy and I spent four hours training at Prado this afternoon, and since it was hot and I am old I had to stop and have a sit down every so often.  One of those times, Dodger was cleaning burrs out of his coat and he decided that a burr on my shoelaces had to go too!

Success!

There were a lot of big dragonflies out.

Beanstalk!

in less than a day!  And I didn't even plant magic beans... ;-)

First, the required pictures of Kitty!  ;-)  I had hosed off a soft crate and brought it in Thursday night so it could finish drying off.  For some reason, Kitty thought this was an excellent place to hang out.

Saturday evening we went to some friends house to see OC Elvis, a local Elvis impersonator - much fun!

 

Our hosts, Roger and Tara

This morning, we went to train in Long Beach and saw Holly for the first time since her surgery - poor thing, she looked sooooo pathetic.

Labor Day

We got quite a bit done over the three day holiday, most significantly the trailer is cleaned up and repaired so can be put up for commission sale.  I also found a stand at a garage sale that would fit a big tank we had stored and then moved the goldfish that were in two smaller tanks to the one big one.

Sunday was also my birthday - Rick got me flowers and a sweet card, plus we went to dinner.

Bonus!  Picture of Kitty in the sun by the sliding glass door.
