Picture Time: Puppy Match Edition

This Saturday I spend time hanging out at the Basenji Clubs annual Puppy Match. It is where the pups get their first chance to go into the ring and strut their stuff.

Sabrina's puppies where in attendance, even little Abbott was there with his new owners. He has them firmly wrapped around his tiny paws.

Other than basenjis everywhere, there were a couple of fluffy Afghan pups, several sweet, pointy whippets, a handsome Rhodesian ridgeback, and even a lovely Irish Wolfhound present.

I only got a few pictures. The lighting was not that awesome...

Picture Time: The Spring is coming Edition

It is finally happening here in WI...Spring is is coming. Beginning last week the temperatures went up. So we waited for things to melt off a little and this weekend we headed out to soak up some sun and fresh air.

It was time to exorcise the Curly Tails' winter demons...

We also decided to explore yet another dog park we had not visited in the area. This time we choose Indian Lake Dog Area. It is beautiful...the main downside I saw is that it is not fenced and gated, and the parking lot is close to the road. This means leash up the dogs a ways before getting back to the car.

I will start with just some pictures of the park that I took and then move on to the documentation of the exorcism ritual :)

She found some mud to roll in...she was thrilled!

Yep, this is the dog that would not go near any body of water to save her life as a puppy...

I wish this shot was focused...

She is going to get him...

Bonus Frenchie...we ran into this little guy and I snapped a quick photo.

Picture Time: The mostly Franklin Edition

So I visited with Laura and the puppies today. I had planned on taking pictures only to find that while I had remembered the camera...I managed to leave the battery at home on it's charger. Yes, I am brilliant like that, thanks!

Laura was nice enough to hand me her camera and send me the resulting pictures. She says that Franklin appears to be my favorite based on the frequency in which he appears in the pictures...maybe Franklin is just a photo hog :P I admit nothing.

Little Abbott has left for his new home...someone saw his pictures and fell in love with his cute little face :)

Oh look, it's a Franklin...

Also an Irma...
