Spring hikes with Sky

From Sky's blog - Sky is CH Grayhart Lightfoot Early Morning Rain, RN,JH,TD,NA, NAJ,VX (Parker x Trixie)

 

This sign (above) is actually on the Balsam Preserve side of the gate, but thought it would be a perfect photo opp! We saw many lovely wildflowers on todays hike, along with a baby bird just testing it's wings, a lizard, and most exciting, Sky pointed a grouse at the edge of the trail and held her point until the grouse flushed! I was so excited of course I failed to get a picture, but I am so proud of her holding on this wild bird!

Morning in the Mountains - walk near Lake Logan

Snapped this shot of Sky before meeting friend Susan to walk a fire road near Lake Logan.

Sky enjoyed a nice roll in the grass after our 6.8 mile walk, we all sat around for about an after returning to the cars just enjoying the beautiful day and peaceful surroundings.

We cannot wait to visit Debbie and Sky this summer and experience these beautiful hiking trails first hand!

Cinco de Weimo!

Trixie during her demo

 A fun day was had by all at the Tri-State Weimaraner Rescue's 6th Annual Picnic held at the Ironwood Outdoor Center in Lumberton, NJ.  The forecast was for a sunny day in the 80's but that never happened and the temps stayed cool in the high 60's and the day was overcast.  The drab weather did not ruin the day and it was amazing to see dozens of Weims run loose together, playing and socializing, while their owners enjoyed good food and a terrific raffle.

Savi takes a turn

 We volunteered to bring some agility equipment for a demo and to let the other Weims take a try at our favorite sport.

 Trixie sported her new Mod Dog collar for the occasion...

Ha, I'm the Weim Whisperer! This is only about half the dogs that ended up surrounding me and sitting for a treat!

 A mix of gray and blue Weims frolicked in the huge fenced area and the people food was kept in the smaller fenced area by the pool.

 Trying to get a group picture with all those people and dogs was a challenge for sure!

 This was an excellent fundraiser for a great cause.  At the end of the summer, TSWR holds another event at Ironwood where the dogs get to swim in the pools before they are drained for the season.

Weims on Display

 The school where I teach has a display cabinet in the lobby that was a gift from the Home & School Association.  The staff was asked to volunteer if they had a collection that they wanted to share and display in the case.  There were displays of Bugles, Beanie Babies and Angels. Finally, it was my turn and of course, my passion is Weimaraners, so this display was created.

 I dedicated one shelf of the display to my show dogs; conformation, agility, obedience and field pictures decorated the shelf along with ribbons.

 The lower shelf showcase our models, Jam, Trixie and Savi, in their ads and books.

 Books and other fun Weimaraner collectables rounded out the display with my prized Best in Futurity Dog trophy.  Many students and staff have found the display quite interesting and love looking at the dogs.

Beautiful Trixie, posing while I attempt to learn how to use my new camera - a Canon DSLR Rebel T3.  It will be fun learning how to use all the settings and of course, we have the perfect subjects.
