At The Spa?



We finally managed to remember to take a video of what Keller is like while taking a bath vs. afterwards. It is too, too funny and here's the YouTube link to it (you can also watch it on the side of this page). I think she knew a camera was rolling because she wasn't as crazy as times past!

Keller is going to Randy and Julie's today to spend time with Duncan for several days. I am certain they will have a blast!

Garden Dog


Keller's an excellent garden dog. Except when she walks in it. She hasn't for awhile, and she at least keeps the bees company. Look at how the Brock's/my garden faired this year! SO MUCH GOODNESS!!!!!

More Neenah

Oh yeah, and Keller met my cousins too, and her new best friend Duke (The Wonderdog). Remember Keller, to look up to and respect your elders!

L-R: Keller, Angie, Abbie, Alex (B-day Boy!), Duke, Me. :)

P.S. Thanks to Conni the Photographer and Brian the "Make Sure the Dogs Stay in Place" Photographer Helper.

Keller's Vacation

Keller's visit to Neenah summed up in a couple of words: "I could get used to this.....ahhhhhhhhhhh"

Harness No More

This morning I put the harness on Keller to go for our run, and I turned to put my shoes on, turned back around, and here to find out she had chewed the harness ON HER into two pieces. I could only stare and gape at her.

For some bizarre reason, she ran like the wind without that thing on. I haven't seen her run like that on a leash with me in a loooooooooong time.

So, either time to bust out the sewing machine or buy a new one. Probably a new one, considering she was getting close to out growing it. :)

Play Dates


After Keller spent a few days with Santi when we were up north, Santi came over for Saturday and Sunday while Seth and Sarah when up to a ball game in the Cities.

Needless to say, the two (the dogs that is) picked up riiiiight were they left off and proceeded to wear each other out, eat each other's food, chew apart each other's toys. By far, the Toy Of The Weekend was the stuffed pheasant, which I hear is SO popular with Santi that it's been stitched up and even temporarily replaced (with a duck). Well, there's no stitching left to the thing after the weekend...no stuffing or honky-honk thing either (see above right). I'll put a video up on YouTube, too.

Dave and I took them to Leads and Leashes on Saturday before we went to the McNally wedding (left picture in the Vibe). It was fun, but I won't go back really for much except to buy Keller treats or something. Kind of pricey.

Time to get outside for a run. Keller's feeling a bit lonely today, I think. We are headed to Neenah on Wednesday, and that will be her longest car ride yet!
