Well, here we are again … this week we are featuring our gourmet meals…  it is a quiet time for kennels right now, and we have time to feature our gourmet meals.  This Saturday, among others, a Miniature Pinscher will enjoy a sautéed in butter miniature ground steak patty made from Australian grass fed beef bought at Earth Fare…  served on our rice and ground beef and green beans and celetry stew.   Very tasty, even for us.

We had a darling Parson Russel Terrier puppy having his agility class… fotos on our website … he was amazing.  A bit shy at first, but when he discovered how much fun it was to clamber up the walkway and see the world from a different viewpoint, he kept clambering up and waiting for his treat …  another little dog, a poodle, learning to jump the little six inch jump, only six inches because he is just a puppy, cleared it with about twelve inches to spare …. He  jumped straight up and over … I don’t know how he propelled himself forward once he was up in the air … amazing.  Such fun to observe and learn from the dogs. 

After the heavy rains we had on Tuesday the fourth of March, our grass is turning green again, and some of the trees are beginning to bud … let’s hope no more deep freezes will come along this year. 

Agility Trials this Saturday and Sunday …at the Piedmont Kennel Club, all day long … One of the dogs competing is Kaz who has been training with us for ten years …  and has won all kinds of things during those ten years.  Wish im luck .. he is a Polish Lowland Sheepdog … we have fotos on our website of him at training classes, when he does things PERFFECTLY   … but of course when he goes into a trial he sometimes does things a bit differently, like rolling around in the collapsed tunnel, making the chute part look like a big worm having a wrestling match with himself…  funny, but not good for a qualifying score…  but that’f life … it  has to be fun for the dogs too …   and he does qualify and get blue first place ribbons inspite of that mischievious streak.  Till next time.

Did you know our Day Care Dogs get a free agility lesson on Tuesdays?

And that we are planning a Treasure Hunt for our Day Care Dogs on the second Thursday in April? The Treasure will be a baked organic liver bread bone which will be hidden outside or inside depending on the weather…. More details will be available soon...
