Foster, fosters, fosters

 Dasher got adopted to a nosework home and I'm super excited for him and his new mom!

Charlie did not get adopted and we are super bummed about that. 

The new guy is Mann and he was a medical owner surrender. He has cancer and will have his leg amputated next week.  He's a great dog and super easy to have around. 

Titles, camping, sniffing and agility

 I finally got all the stuff submitted for the boys to get their AKC Trick Titles.  Epic got both his novice and intermediate and Sweets got his novice!

We made a very chilly camping trip for a semi-local AKC scentwork trial.  Epic had a great weekend getting 5 Qs, several placements and finishes this Container Advanced Elite title. 

The next weekend we were off to Oklahoma for more agility.  Epic did not have the best weekend.  HE was very enthusiastic but not that accurate and took a lot of extra tunnels!  But he did get a chances Q yay!

Mississippi

 Our friend Elaine spends a month on the gulf coast every winter and invited us to spend some time there as well.  So we spent a long weekend there walking on the beach, eating amazing food, running a 5k, doing some sight seeing and playing games!

This tree has survived pretty much everything

February

 The rest of Jan and most of Feb were pretty uneventful.  We took the dogs on a nice paved hike and otherwise just run of the mill stuff around the house!

Ice and sleet

More winter weather kept us all home today. The dogs had fun outside and now are napping hard in the warm house. Hopefully we can get out to work tomorrow!
