Trip North

It was so hot at my parents' when we went for our visit that the pups mostly laid under the shade trees with the humans. Kastle hasn't been feeling 100% lately (combination of food change, weather, etc?) so he was very mellow. Just as well though.

Ear floofs blowing in the breeze:

Tugging with Eden - she is holding the end with the smallest knot on it - she makes me laugh! He's so sweet and tolerant :-)

Weave

This video was taken after we did a reminder session with just one set of 2 x 2's and then he was hot so I just did a quick run-through with him with two sets and let him carry his ball. He is getting the hang of it - slowly.

Flyball Team Tourney!!!

Kastle ran in his first tournament on the team laugh It was HOT (111* with heat index, 140* on the pavement by where we were parked), and he did great. I am SO PROUD! We have worked so hard and it was such a miserable, humid, disgusting day and he did his best. This was our first and last team run with Fly by Night frown because we are moving. I will miss this team and how far they've helped me come! There's a slow-mo section where you can see him sllliidddeeee into the box (and knock Lies crooked) and that is why he has to wear all of that gear! He is averaging about 4.5ish seconds with 7-10 foot passes (not because he can't pass, but because the dog he is passing into had an owner that did not want closer passes).

Anyway, video:
What happens when you miscalculate your start time...

Family Photos

I need to stop trying for group shots LOL They are always a disaster! It was extremely hot, extremely humid and I waited as late as I could for it to cool off and still have sunlight.

The outtakes...

The keepers.

Ike & Kastle

Ike has been sold, these will be the last photos of the half-brothers together :'(

Ike at 3 years, Kastle at 1 year:

The first time they have played together, really run and play, since Kastle smashed his teeth out.
The rest of the photos of the two of them together are HERE.

Ike will be greatly missed.

Tug Time

Eden has started to enjoy tugging just for the sake of tugging - including tugging with Kastle, which is soooo cute!

The rest of that cuteness is HERE.

We are using Finn's Kastle-drive to get Finny to care about toys and tugging, it's working really well so far!
 The rest of the Kastle/Finn pics are HERE.

Kastle loves toys :-D

Also, Kastle now has a little brother - an Australian Kelpie, named Limit:
