Camp season!

A few years ago I had a house guest when Ziva, my friends Welsh Springer Spaniel, came for roughly 10 days.  Today I have another house guest but this time she's grey.  Her name is Stitch and for those of you that have not met her, well let me introduce her.

Running around the pond

Stitch is my friend Sallie's new addition and her dam is Giselle, a Chatawey dog, who was bred to Summit from Silversmith Weimaraners.  Sallie's plans are to show her in Obedience and Rally but before that she will be shown in conformation.  She's already shown that she may be a nice show dog, at her first official match she got a Sporting Group 2 from a very large 3-6 month entry.  Needless to say we were very proud of her.

She's been getting a lot of exercise while she's here and as we all know, a tired puppy is a good puppy.  As of this morning she has taken TWO dunks in the pond and in both cases she got herself out and was none the worse for wear.  I will admit that the first time she went in I did run (ok, sprint) down to the pond but she was already out of it and shaking the water off.

Shaking it off

Yes, that is Swing's butt in the picture.  I personally believe she pushed Stitch in the first time.  :-)

Stitch will be here for a few more days and the next camper will be our little brother Hank!  Yes, Howard is entrusting his boy to me for two and a half weeks.  His comment when he asked if I could keep him, "Beau may not want to come home!".  That means the next blog entry will be filled with stories and pictures of his adventures while he stays with my crew.  

Now, what is everyone else going to be doing for the next month?  And before I close let me wish all of the moms out there (human and 4 legged alike) a very happy Mother's Day.
