Bright Stars

The A Team: Aubrey and Bright Star Atlas…

I just love that photo! Thank you, Kira. Atlas’s life is as loving and sweet and kind as that photo reflects. How wonderful is that?!

And this is Atlas’s littermate, another shining Bright Star — Xeena…

We can expect amazing things from Team Xeena — that is a match made for brilliance. I thank my Lucky Stars regularly that Xeena is with Kim, who appreciates her exceptional working ability and trains Xeena with joy and love and kindness and intelligence. THANK YOU, Kim.

Peace continues here…

Harper, Karma and Capella

…but bad news — Costco did not have any more of those beds! Yikes. I should have bought 3 - 4 when I had the chance. Sigh.

In good news, both Pozy Clarkia and Suzanne’s Sadie Rose got tracks in a March 20 Tracking test! I am not sure Team Pozy is quite ready for this but we will do our best — and it will be so wonderful to just be there, no matter the outcome.

I sure hope your Friday is filled with Good News!

Party Time

This is what 13.5 years looks like in a Berner…

Miss Maddie from our F Litter. Loved, cherished, and celebrated by Barb and her Dear Husband — and the rest of us.

Peace and ???

I think we have a bit of movement on peace in the Bed War — too bad we cannot say the same about Ukraine and Russia.

The dogs agreed that the bed belongs to Karma. By acknowledging that, Karma condescended to say that they could share — if she felt like sharing, that is, and if Capella agreed not to bite her or use her as a pillow or whack her with one of her big paws…

Capella, still working on assertiveness, agreed to all of Karma’s demands.

Harper, closing in on 10.5 years, is mature enough to avoid all the nonsense and so she and Karma have the most stable truce happening.

It also helped that I agreed to go to Costco and buy more of the beds — I sure hope they are not sold out!

In a preview of a post about Best Intentions — what does this look like to you?

I am especially interested in Nova Sr’s thoughts on that question…

Happy Wednesday from sunny and cold — and peaceful — western Montana.
