Did someone say duck?

 After this morning's hunt test with Jam, which resulted in a fail due to her breaking before the shot, we took Savi on a terrific 5-mile hike along the TMI trail. No, not the Too-Much-Information trail, but the Tuxedo-Mount Ivy Trail through Harriman State Park.  Who knew we would stumble upon a pond with ducks?

 Savi did a super job, went on point and held until I called her back to us.

 We were quite a distance away and she made me proud by listening to the "whoa" command and then came as soon as I called her.

I guess I took the wrong dog to the hunt test!  Savi will get her turn to next weekend.

Saturday mini-hike

 Saturday was too nice of a day not to get the dogs out for a quick hike. Both girls are still in season so they had a short run on this empty trail.  Jam and Savi were quite interested in whatever was hiding in the trees...

 I bet Savi wishes she could climb trees...

Nature's agility course!

Happy Hiking at Harriman

 What to do on a perfect September day?  Go hiking of course at one of our favorite places, Harriman State Park.  It was cool in the woods and Jam and Savi were excited to run and run and run...

 Jam stopped to point a deer in the distance and we were thrilled to see Savi back her.

 Savi backing Jam...

Jam on a deer point!

 Smiling Savi, she sure enjoyed our hike.

And even treats, the girls think this is the best thing ever, especially doled out by Kellyann.

New Snow - time for another snow hike!

With 4 new inches of snow, we headed out with Jam and Savi for a wonderful hike in the beautiful woods of northern New Jersey.  Enjoy the slide show!
