Title Certificate

:) now it's official - Kenzo did get his first title in USDAA: more to come!

Christmas morning

Dude chose to be my Christmas gift :) and Geisha is still playing with the new toys...

the day of Christmas-Eve

Geisha's first Christmas started a bit chilly but it warmed up during the day, so we could make another trip with the Hot Rod... this time to the park. to take the dogs along I had to drive in our Chevy though :) both had lots of fun running around in Austria it's tradition to give gifts on Christmas-Eve, so we did that too... THANKS to Jace, who was our Secret Santa! both LOVED what the received!

snow + sun = fun

although the sun came out, there's still some snow left where are her "whippet-ears"? going for a kill got'cha! zoomies with an alien-shadow and full speed back to the green zone and again... and again... and again :)

her first white stuff

we would call it snow, she would say awfully cold! but with an irresistible toy, you still can have fun :) running keeps you warm at least for a little bit... Kenzo got to play too back inside, we enjoyed the couch

fun coursing practice

close to us (Staunton area), a couple who has Lurchers and horses invited to have some fun. we got the opportunity to spend a sunny but freezing cold day with Timbreblues and other friends see the BC stalking and the collie trying to pass him to run... Sidney and her LHW came too!
Kenzo had to spend most of the time in the car, as he couldn't stop barking even when the bags didn't move at all. crazy boy! Martin did a good job releasing him the first time! when we decided he could show Juliet (Geisha's mom) what it's all about, it was my turn and I wasn't so lucky! he escaped 2x by backing up between my legs... then both had a nice run :) look at his eyes! seems like he wants to tell her better not even look at HIS bags ;)
Geisha got to run with Siren (Chippy's daughter, 2 weeks older) and they came 1/2 way together, then Siren decided to see where Sharyn was and Geisha finished alone. keep focus sweety! unfortunately we didn't get pictures of this run...
it was a short course, so Kenzo had a 3rd run with 2 other Whippets. Next time we are at an official event, I will get him certified :)

1/2 a year young

right after Kenzo turned 3, Geisha had her 1/2 birthday! of course we had a cozy day on the couch (due to miserable weather) + practiced some stacking, which still needs improvement ;) will she remains in this position when I move?

where did they go?

... let's cuddle with daddy then :)

Happy Birthday and a Happy Thanksgiving!

3 years ago, Kenzo and his siblings were born in Latvia! Congratulations to all!
Kenzo started his day with a delicious breakfast then got the chance to play with his newest ball hopefully this one lasts longer then all others before... looking forward to 356 days of joy and fun!

SHOT lure coursing 11/20/10

what a beautiful day to make a trip to Williamsburg for a SHOT lure coursing event. Dog of the day was "Bo", under blue... we even got a video of his final run against a Scottish Deerhound HERE. unfortunately the batteries died at halftime :( a Saluki was there as well as lots of other breeds. Geisha didn't only watch! her practice run is HERE + Kenzo's HERE. a good night sleep back at home :)

the weather is inviting for a nap today ;) so I thought a post of cuddling pets won't be wrong... mid of October they could enjoy the sunshine still outside now it's more stacking on the couch whippets love sleeping on their back just cuddling is great too! and a cat never minds a cozy bed as well :) Dude, a master of adjustment
