7-18-10 Bang is finally home! I left on Saturday to go pick her up and the easy 4 hour up and 4 hours back turned into a stressful weekend. A friend of mine that happens to have Jesse (Bang's litter mate) went with me to see Jesse who is at Miner's Kennel being trained also. We each brought a dog with us also. About 15 miles from our hotel my van decided it was done. So I limped along as far as I could to an exit ramp and it gave out completely. We took our dogs out of the van (in 90 degreee weather) and walked up the exit ramp to a motel that was close by. After about 2 hours of phone calls looking for a rental (not on the weekend where we were!), trying to find someone to tow my van and arranging to get a ride to our hotel where we had made reservations for the night, we finally meet up with some angels that God must have sent our way and got the dogs and all of our stuff to our hotel and the van taken care of. My friend's son and husband drove the 4 hours to bring her vehicle to us so that we could still keep our plans for picking up Bang and seeing Jesse on Sunday. The guy who towed my van fixed it, on a Sunday! and by 5pm Sunday we were headed back home. Quite the adventure! Bang is doing great...she is doing sight blinds now. I videoed my lesson with Nancy Miner so that I can refer back to it at home. I got told twice, "Don't screw her up".
7-14-10 Reese has come in season early (thanks to Jazz coming in) so...here we go. I will start progesterone testing tomorrow! Looks like she got that CDX in just the nick of time.

4-11-10 Reese earned first place with a 193 in Open A at the Golden Retriever Specialty in St. Louis.
3-25-10 Happy 1st Birthday! to all the Reese x Hootie puppies. See what they look like today on their 1 year old page under News.
2-25-10 We are back from Texas :( It was a wonderful time. The grounds we were on were a doggie disneyland. There was every kind of marking situation you could imagine. The dogs were doing some 200+ yard marks everyday. Not to mention the lovely weather. I hated to leave 70 degrees and drive back to freezing temperatures.
2-12-10 thru 2-23-10 Reese and Bang are going to Texas for a week of field training. We are all so excited!
1-31-10 Reese earns her Rally Advanced title at the St. Charles Kennel Club show this weekend with a score of 98 on Saturday and 97 on Sunday.
