The dog show in Helena is underway. I am not there but Marti is and she reports that iPup Kidd got his first Open A obedience leg today!
Marti’s girl, Lili, finished her GCH today as well and so the long trip to Montana is well worth it already! Congratulations to Marti on a most excellent day!!!
It isn’t Monday but I do have fun news from the weekend.
Thanks to Lisa K. for taking this amazing photo of Jordan — and for her willingness to let it be shared! LOVE.
Congratulations to Team Jordan (Sparkler) for passing the open draft level at the Seattle test on Saturday — and for returning promptly to work after chasing a taunting squirrel up a tree on Sunday, with her cart attached! I sure wish there had been a video of that.
Team Kiri — also a Sparkler — picked up 11 points towards her Bronze Grand Championship over the weekend. She was Best of Breed twice and once Best of Opposite. That is an impressive showing — great job, Team Kiri!
In non-dog news (sort of) — one of the things I did while on Sabbatical was co-author a book chapter; that book was recently published.
I am currently working on yet another book chapter — this one about dogs and college students. There are so many interesting projects in the world!
And one of those — I hope — is raising puppies. However, we will not know if Claire is pregnant until mid-October.
Another fabulous Galen photo of Claire.
Until then — are you wearing your Lucky Socks???
What fun to have the Heintzbergers living so close to Galen and Bethany!
Not only are Cindy and Vic now Idaho residents, but so are daughter Kira and her family — this is her youngest, Aubrey, with Berkeley.
And John and his family also just moved there!!!!
Sparkle being edged out by a possessive Heidi.
And that means so did Heidi from the H Moon Litter!
Named for the original Almighty Heidi, Heidi is glorious and wonderful in all ways.
These are two photos Galen took of Sparkle at Lucky Peak State Park near Boise — you can follow Galen’s photos at instagram.com/galen_henseler
Congratulations to Team Jordan (Sparkler) on a great show weekend, including a really nice Best of Breed win! And her Uncle Tristan (iPups) earned yet another QQ (agility) — we certainly have a versatile family ❤️
Progesterone testing begins on Thursday.
