Swimming!

We drove up to Reno to see if Teaz's obedience attitude has improved (it has) and to show Suede in the breed ring to make a major for Iris's Bella (except, she didn't win either day).  On the way, we stopped at Topaz Lake as usual and the dogs had a great time.  Above is Suede and below is Sketch.

We spent Saturday night at Auntie Iris's so of course there was fun in the pool!

Then it's time for fun!

 

UKC

We spent the weekend at UKC obedience trials, for Sketch's obedience debut.  Each run he had one brain fart, including going down on the sit at Saturday's second trial but then it was 102° so he had an excuse.  In the end, he had three decent scores between 193 and 196 and earned his U-CD.  We also did the SPOT test, which is their version of the CGC, and passed with flying colors.

YUM!

training, training, training!

Stuck

We are stuck in Great Falls until Tuesday or Wednesday, I won't say why because it's just too embarrassing.  So here are pictures of Sketch having fun!

 

Isn't he just the cutest thing?

Snow in June

Indoors!  Rick found some more toys out in the garage so I gave a couple to Sketcher.  In no time, there were toy guts in his pen - here he is holding the victim.

 

Trying again

Got Sketch a new treat-in-toy, and left it in the packaging so maybe it would last awhile. Twenty minutes later, out of the package and the treat is gone. Sigh.
