Driver Visit

Hi! It was Visit-Driver afternoon, so I now have two shepherds attached to my clothing with very busy noses.  Driver had his afternoon nap on my lap, and we were joined by the rest of the crew.  Brio gets up on the back of the couch, like a cat, so I had him behind my head, Milo on my lap with the puppy, and Stoney right beside us with his duck.  We were all reading the little newspaper account about hunt tests and advice on starting field dogs, so I hope they absorbed the lessons. Hope (in her orange fleece, since it is deer season and we could hear the efforts from her yard) is having a wonderful time with the puppy, and her older dogs are taking turns as caretakers, so it is all working out very well.

I was so sorry to hear about Dastra.  The only upside is that it gives me hope I will have Mac for another nine or ten years.  She was incredible–haven’t seen that much liveliness in most GSDs in this area, much less in older dogs, and she clearly enjoyed every minute she spent with you.  Thank you for giving her such a great life!
