We went to the park..

This time we tried out the Homewood trail.




We met this white fluffy guy. He was very friendly!




Then we goofed off in this field for awhile..




Maisie found this good stick! And a bird!



Those lawn bowling people were having a picnic, so we parked ourselves nearby and looked cute and hungry, but they didn't invite us. I could smell chicken.. and I just wanted to run over there and really do some begging, but mom wouldn't let me.







So, we just hung out at this bench and relaxed for a little while, then headed back home.

Honeysuckle vine clings to the fence along... MY PLAY YARD!

At least it did 'till that BIG STORM I told you about. Mom got some pictures of it one night after work. We wish you could of smelled it! It was so fragrant this year. She said we even smelled like honeysuckle after we had been out there playing!

The BIG Storm!

We've had a little rain lately... Here's pictures we found from a neighborhood up the street.


It was pretty scarey!

Wednesday night the Pittsburgh area had several thousand lighting strikes per minute, and record rainfall, 2.92 inches of rain in just a couple of hours! There were floods, and power outages, and tornado warnings, and Maisie and I were home alone because mom was at work! OMDOG! But, we got through it, and when mom got home we looked around, and we just had a little basement flooding - not too bad.

Kissin' the Cup! Hello again, old friend.

WE HAVE RABIES!

NO, WE DON'T- JUST KIDDING!



I'm just glad Maisie is finally big enough and old enough to engage in a good old fashioned game of look as vicious as you can, bitey-face!










An Alert!... Maisie wants me to tell/warn everybody about this "thing" that comes to your crate , while you are sleeping, and does this to your new pink harness! She doesn't have any further information to offer regarding this incident, just that it was a "thing", but I told her OK, I would warn everybody anyhow. Mom isn't buying any of it....

Agility Classes!

My agility classes this session are on Friday nights. I think I already mentioned this, but my teacher this session is Jim, who is Tess and Jazz's dad! Stop by their blog and see how well they have been doing. There are also some cute baby pictures of them and a story about how they got to Jim and Lisa's house.
Here's a picture of me and Jim at school. he had some pretty interesting courses set up there!


This is Oslo and his person Valerie. They are in my class, and so is Jazz.


Once a month we take a lesson with Tracy. That's her helping a Border Collie figure out some fancy move!



We took Maisie along to that class to "audit" It's a little hard to see her there in the crate, but she sure was interested in all that was going on!


Next class is Friday night. Mom has an all day training she has to go to that day. I sure hope she has some energy left over!

Our Moms and Dads!

We have seen some dogs posting about their parents, and I think it's a fun thing to do. Even if you don't know who your parents are, its fun to imagine who they might be, and what they probably look like!

Since it's in between Mothers Day, and Fathers Day, we thought we would tell you about our parents. Both Maisie and I are from Saranac Shelties. Miss Anne lives in Alabama, and Miss Terri used to live in Pittsburgh, but now she lives in Illinois.
I was born in Pittsburgh at Miss Terri's house. My mom is Lorna (Saranac Black Sensation)



Maisie was born in Alabama at Miss Anne's house. Her mom is Annie ( CH Saranac Meet Me In St. Louis)

Our Dads both live in Alabama with Miss Ellen at Aynsworth Shelties.
My dad is Kent, and Maisie's dad is Sky. You can see their web pages by clicking on the link and going to "males".
Everybody says I look like my mum. We think Maisie is starting to look like her dad.
