Colorado Trip August 2011

Arrived in Colorado in time to cheer for my niece Sara and her Golden male Trooper placing 2nd in rally novice after a run off for time for first place. Well done Sara and Trooper!

Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park is one of the most scenic places on earth, we hiked up to Dream Lake one morning to take in the sights and watch the trout in the lake.

Lots of wildlife, we passed these to big elk on the greenway trail while riding. . .

our Segways! It was a blast and a great way to see animals as they are so quiet.

And no trip is complete without playing with some of my sis's Flyway Goldens. This is Zita showing puppy Twist how it is done, it was her first time swimming and she took to it like, well, like a Golden!

July 2011 Linda's Visit South

Sky's breeder, Linda Hartheimer, came down south again this year for the Southern Futurity with Trixie (Sky's dam), littermate Jam, and 1/2 sister Savi. To get the most bang for the buck, Linda came down in time to attend the Tarheel Weim Club agility trial, where Jam earned on open agility title with a placement, and was high scoring Weimaraner at the trial! Jam and Linda, you rock!

After the road trip from New Jersey, the girls were ready to get out and run, we took a hike to Sam Knob and along Flat Laurel Creek, one of my favorite walks.

Savi and Sky really enjoyed each other and played well. Sky and Savi trading tips on how to train their humans!

Sky, Trixie, Linda, Savi and Jam, what pretty girls!

Sky and Sheba, don't leave home without us!

My parents were leaving to go home after a great visit, their dog Sheba hopped in the trunk to be sure she wasn't left behind, and Sky decided she'd go with them too. Silly girl Sky!

WB/BOS Asheville KC 6 11 2011

Sky went Winners/Best Opposite Sex at the Asheville KC show in June 2011. Another point closer to that elusive championship!

June 2011 Flat Laurel Creek

Sky cooling off in Flat Laurel Creek. Note the stacked rocks on either side of her, known as cairns that mark the way of trails, a friend of ours refers to them as "tourist rocks", since folks have a tendency to stack them up not realizing there purpose as markers.

The rhodendron was in full bloom this day, picture is looking at the side of Sam Knob taken from Flat Laurel Creed trail.

Sky came across someone's campsite along the side of the trail and was quite curious!
