Fun at Iris's house

Sketcher has been getting a lot of swimming practice in the pool and can now turn in the water without forgetting to keep kicking his back legs.  He's also pretty good about finding the steps to get out.  Some of his entries have been less than spectacular ...

But others aren't too bad.

No matter the entry, swimming in the pool is fun!

Travels

We traveled to Reno for a match and three trials to see if Teaz could get a UD leg.  She did Q at the match, but missed one exercise each day afterwards.  Sigh.  Sketcher had many opportunities to swim and run amok, as well as experiencing an indoor trial.  He had lots of fun!

He also inherited the trait of walking other dogs, as he is doing here to his mom.  Below he has his and his mom's leash in his mouth at the same time!  All walks must include a leash in his mouth.

The next week will be spent at Iris' house, and then Leslie's!

Sketcher and his bird

Since we won't go to Prado until he is at least 12 weeks, we've been doing a little field work - very little! - in the yard.  Here is a shot I took of him retrieving his teal that was too dark, but Photoshop not only lightened it up, now it sort of looks arty!  ;-)

Two months

More pics!

 

Wanda Marrison got a rhino plush toy for each of the pups and they are soooo cute!  So, this 

will be the only time that Sketcher will get to touch it since it's too cute to get torn up by a puppy.
