Family

Mary-Ann Sontag June 16, 2023

We are missing a Wildflower and I have nagged as much as I dare — I shall assume that life is just busy for this family and when it is convenient, we will have an update. How about just a puppy pic to hold a happy thought for this guy on his birthday?

Given my life over the past two or so years, I totally understand about capacity — or more to the point, lack thereof! Thanks to everyone who keeps me in info/photos in spite of my sometimes less-than-optimal attention/response 😳

How are things, you might ask.

That sums it up nicely.

But I have hope that resolution will be happening soon 🍀

Family photos today — YAY!

Sparkler Jordan…

Jordan is clearly better trained than her sister, Claire, who would have jumped off the railing and been swimming laps between the boats 🐬 Thanks, Dianne!

Also a Sparkler and winner of Best Freckles — ZIMMER!

Kissable! Thank you, Kathy ❤️

No freckles but still kissable — and gorgeous. This is Bright Star, Atlas.

Thanks, Kira!

I cannot remember if I shared this or not but it is such a great photo of Bright Star, Xeena, who is red hot in nosework up in Canada.

I get regular Xeena updates/photos, and am so grateful 🙏🏽 I love her 💖

And to round out the Bright Stars — here is Capella refusing to put her ears forward.

My cute Bright Star and I will be doing a Pride Walk this morning — I knew my rainbow tie-dye from the Specialty would come in handy 🏳️‍🌈

Have a wonderful Friday!

Birthday Pozy

Mary-Ann Sontag June 15, 2023

I was finally able to do the photos I wanted for Pozy’s birthday.

With all the beautiful wildflowers we have now 💐

Pozy is three — how did that happen?!

Like so much of my life, Pozy is behind schedule but I know we will both catch up ❤️

Pozy is — in a word — brilliant. One of the most intelligent dogs I have trained. Quick and intense, she LOVES to work. Her attention on me is incredible — I literally had to teach her that she is not required to stare at me all the time.

At home she loves everyone — even strangers.

Away from home, she moves away if a stranger wants to pet her. No barking or anything like that — she just moves away. That is our training challenge.

I love challenges and I love this dog so much.
