More winter

I managed to spend a few minutes out with the dogs yesterday. Adjusting a setting in my phone made them look like they were on a solid white background for a cool effect. 

Winter

Winter decided to come full force in February. I’ve lost track of the work days that have been cancelled or rescheduled. We have temps well below freezing the last several days and now about 6 inches of snow. More than we have had here in years with more possibly on the way later in the week. I’d get more pictures but the wind chill is -20, so this is all. 

Meanwhile the dogs are getting tired of training in the house. They were pretty unenthusiastic this morning so I guess they can take a few days off. 

There has been a lot of this happening though. 

But sometimes they are cute 

I had to order Sweets a travel crate. Hopefully he’s about done growing because this is the largest crate size that will fit in the camper bunk!  Epic also approved. 

I also worked on these fancy candles. They take extra time but turned out almost too pretty to burn! 

Valentine's Day Photos

 I took the boys for a mini session with our favorite photographer and it went pretty well!  It was outside in an unfenced area so that presents some challenges but they all did reasonably well. Epic was great at staying but not as good about looking happy lol.  The other two got some good shots in between breaking their stays.  Next time maybe we can get some groups!

Snow fun

 This might be the most snow we get this year, and the dogs were not being super cooperative but I did get a few photos.

Nadac Jan 2020

 We spent the weekend in Oklahoma doing some agility and I'm really pleased with how Epic did We got 9/14 Qs and the misses were also good runs, just need some work on distance and weave poles for the most part.  Had a few other little things go wrong but nothing catastrophic.  He's getting faster, more efficient and more focused and responsive.  He got a lot a compliments as well.  He got Qs in all classes except chances and that went better than last trial.  He is also at the open or elite level in all classes and finished his open barrels title. Also he's now only 10 points away from qualifying for champs!

Our Christmas Present

 We decided we wanted to have alternate travel options to hotels, especially overpriced dog show hotels with ridiculous pet fees.  So we stepped outside our comfort zone and got a small camper! I'm sure we have a lot to learn but we are excited to try it out.  Epic is very excited.  

Mud season

Well it did snow some. But it’s too warm to stick around and just made mud. But I got a few photos anyway. 














Last night we spent New Year’s Eve home with the “kids”. Everyone got treats and paninis! Epic is waiting nicely for his.
