Three Things

Three Things:

1. Simba was career changed for barking. :/  He went back to the family that started him and they are so happy to have him back!
2. Trinka will be heading back next month as a potential breeder! Hopefully she makes it! :)
3. At our last meeting, we welcomed Kirsten who is a one year old female black lab that was transferred to our club.

That's all I have for now! :)

Pumpkin Patch & Corn Maze

The first of October our club (along with two other clubs) participated in our annual pumpkin patch and corn maze outing. My husband and I happened to win for the second year in a row!  I mainly attribute that to Kelli (the leader of one of the other clubs) amazing sense of corn maze map reading. We had Simba for the day which is a brother of the famous chocolate lab Snickers! Simba was transferred to our club and he's a BIG dog. As in I don't remember the last time we had a dog that big in our club. He's just really tall and STRONG. I was able to get pictures of all the dogs in our club though truth be told, some cooperated a little bit better than the others. :) Here they are in no particular order:

Cadence:

 Kyra:

Trinka:

Simba:

We also got a new transfer dog to our club, but I won't have any information till our club meeting tomorrow.  Also, Trinka is on breeder watch and will probably be heading back next month.  I will leave you with this picture of Simba.  He was totally worn out so  he was laying on his bed and I was taking a little nap on the couch.  I woke up to this and was trying really hard not to laugh...HI SIMBA! :)

Oregon Fun Days 2011

I will start off by saying that this years Fun Day seemed to have less people than the last few years. For those who went to the California Fun Days, did it seem about the same, more, or less? I was able to get some litter mate pictures though for those who asked. Sorry it took me so long to post this, but things have been nuts around here and we leave for Florida on Thursday so I needed to get it done before then (or you might have had them in time for Christmas!) :)

Here are some pictures of Saxons' siblings Salsa and Stanton. I don't remember which is which (though Salsa is a female and Stanton is a male). That is what happens when you wait to long to post so Mandy, I apologize!

I believe the first two are of Salsa:

I believe this one is Stanton:

Next up I have some of Snickers' siblings Snapple and Sherbert! I know who is who because Sherbert had her skirt on (thought you can't really see it in the pictures). Also, Simba (another sibling of Snickers) was transferred to our club so I'm sure we might have him a time or two before he heads back or is career changed for his alert barking. Neither dog was apparently in the mood to get their picture taken so this is the best one I have (which isn't great):

Sherbert:

This is a picture I took yesterday of Simba at Macy's Shop for a Cause:

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get any pictures for Tartan or Jorinda litter mates as none of them showed up. :(

I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer! I can't believe fall is right around the corner!

Petpalooza 2011

Last weekend we attended Petpalooza which has become our clubs May outing the past couple of years. Here is a link to last years post which talks all about it: http://gdbpuppysitter.blogspot.com/2010/05/petpalooza.html

This year since our club is down to Trinka (who happened to be in season) we had to borrow some dogs from other clubs! We took Calico who just turned a year. I was pretty busy talking to people and selling toys that I didn't get very many pictures this year. Plus the dogs were ALL over the place because there were HUNDREDS of dogs there. Nothing like extreme dog distractions! :) I also got to meet Simba who is a brother to the VERY popular chocolate lab Snickers! Below are some pictures of the day.
