Happy 1st Birthday Geisha

Our favorite little phantom turns 1 today :) Happy Birthday to all of her 11 siblings! Thank you mama Juliet for giving birth to our beloved backyard-racing-queen! Thanks to Walt & Sharyn for taking such excellent care of our girl and trusting us to continue this. She thinks she's really strong now and loves playing with Kenzo, especially mouth-wars ;) A very pretty girl, soon to enter her first show (Fishersville).
I think she had a great birthday with lots of fun...

Manassas

exhausting weekend!!!
Close to Washington we had 2 days of Rally and Conformation fun. Both days the exact same results! In Rally we had perfect scores of 100 (the only ones of all classes). That way we didn't only win, we got 2 more legs and therefore the RN-title! WooHoo!
Conformation was on the other side of the board... 3rd of 3 ;) That's OK. The competition was really handsome!
We met lots of people + there was always someone willing to hold Geisha while I was in the ring, as Martin had left us for this weekend to have some excitement on his own a bit further south...

Our Dude couldn't resist and sneaked outside to enjoy some grass under the supervision of Geisha, who joined in and grazed too :)

Last but not least: who can find the dog in this picture?

sunshine :)

we had really bad weather yesterday, but this mornings sun makes up for everything... Queens of sunshine wondering where Kenzo is? on his favourite couch of course: he would bathe in the sun too, if she would shine on there...

SHOT AKC lure coursing 3/26 + 27/11

it has been the very first competition weekend in lure coursing for Kenzo. A lot of excitement & speedy Whippets :) although the weather wasn't the best with cold temperatures and showers on Sunday...

it's been just too cold to stay longer, so we started our trip back home.
Kenzo & I tried to cuddle a bit, but Geisha didn't wanted to be left out... what a brat :)

Park & Ride

first we played the doggies tired Kenzo can barely wait till the ball is in the air Geisha was up next after each of them had single fun, they could run together for a bit

while the dogs slept at home, we had a nice afternoon with Adam & Molly lunch at Five Guys, some ice cream at Kline's :) what else do you need for a good time?!

Title Certificate
