Well, we didn’t have nearly as exciting a weekend as most of the Alta-Tollhaus dogs, but we did have fun.

On Saturday, Pieka and I drove to Cincinnati to track with a group of people.   It was WINDY, which really made it tough.  We stuck with baby tracks:

Here, we're tracking on pavement as per Chris White's method. You can see how the wind is blowing our hair around.

We're working on a serpentine. Pieka still needs some help, but she's getting it.

On Sunday, we headed off to our friend’s house for some playing and a cook-out.   We had access to a 1.5 acre fenced yard – pure heaven – so I wanted to work on Pieka’s off-lead recalls.    As you can see, she did pretty well:

Mom, wait for me!

Then, we played some fetch.  Pieka LOVES fetch. 

Fetch is going well…until Pieka discovers the swamp/large pool of water in the corner of the yard.  I think this sequence of pictures pretty much tells the story:

And finally, thoroughly filthy and tired, she got to rest in the shade with a marrow bone.

Notice the beautifully clipped ears? You almost wouldnt' know she had serious dandelion fluff.
