Lighthouses & Show News

First bit of news since my last entry is that we are not moving to Georgia. Not sure what the new plan is but I'm sure it will all work out!

Now onto our other adventures.....

The last weekend in August we took at trip out to Rochester, NY to visit family. Siena came along for the ride while the rest of the gang stayed behind at Kara's place and with the wonderful folks at American K9 Country. Siena got a lot of swim time since my sister's house is right on the lake! We all took a ride to see the Charlotte Genesse lighthouse together. Fun family weekend was just what I needed!

Some dog show news~ Apollo was out with Diana Mason PHA this past weekend at the Cape Cod shows. He took Reserve Winner's Dog 2 out of the 4 days! I just can't contain my excitement about this boy! With very little coat and looking a bit immature compared to the other open dogs he did fantastic. Diana did an amazing job showing him and he loves her already. We have decided to keep him home for the winter to mature and hopefully grow that gorgeous coat back. Hoping to have him back out for some spring specialty shows. After watching Apollo show one of the days Bob and I decided to visit the Nobska Lighthouse (not far from the show site). There is something about lighthouses that captivates us!

We had a visitor for a couple of days after the Cape Cod shows. Sorbet, SunKissed Berried Treasure, fit in wonderfully with our golden family and we all miss her! Zap is particularly sad she had to go back home.

We have some upcoming agility & rally trials in October/November. Possibly heading back up to Canada with Zap.
