RELIEF!!!

Well, we FINALLY got some rain. It was great!! No more dust in the kennel, it had been over 3 weeks until now. The rain also brought with it some much needed cooler weather. Thank goodness, we were getting really sick of the 80's & 90's. It will be in the low 70's during the day and 50's at night throughout the week. Looks like fall training will begin this weekend after all!! We can't wait!! We have to do some ATV repairs and get equipment ready, then we will be good to go.
The Curice family came down this weekend for a wedding and stayed with us. We got lots of dog talk in, but it is never enough for us dog addicts!! It was fun showing them our pups out of their stud dog Strider. Most of them look just like him. Ana had a ball playing with Caitlin, Cooper and Emily. It was nice having them here to keep her busy. She is a little spitfire for me in the kennel. On Friday, I put her in the puppy pen (pictures above) while I did dog chores. She loved it and ran back and forth with the puppies quickly chasing her. What a GREAT idea, I actually got all the dog chores done without interuption.
