Humor

Look at that face! This is Wally from the Moonshadows…

SO CUTE! Love his dark eyes and freckles! This is his half-sister, Pozy Clarkia, who shares those traits…

Pozy is doing so well. She is extremely smart and drivey, and loves to train. We are in tracking season right now…

This is Pozy and me — thanks to Suzanne for the photo.

We will hopefully get into a tracking test in May and/or June — Pozy is ready (and so am I!).

Costco has a nice dog bed on sale — I am sucker for Costco dog beds. There is, however, some confusion about the bed…

Pozy: DOG bed.

Karma: Get your paw off me and remove yourself from my new bed.

Capella: Excuse me, Karma, this is a DOG bed. Also, I love you and so we can share.

Karma: Get off me this minute and remove yourself from my new bed.

And the winner is…

A sense of humor is a barometer to how our Little Soldiers are doing. If they cannot find or appreciate humor, they are not doing well at all. My Little Soldiers and I laughed and laughed when this arrived…

There was no note as to who sent it and so I just laughed and marveled that: 1) I was laughing; 2) people are wonderful and kind — and FUNNY; and, 3) the awesomeness of my guest bathroom keeps getting even better. Thank you, Lisa K, for ALL the things.

Loss of humor is also a sign that we are overtraining but I am going to take a risk on that…

I hope my Peloton bike won’t be jealous of my new running shoes! Okay — running might be a wee bit aspirational but who can’t use some aspiration in their life?!

Exercise is the very best medicine for all kinds of things — and laughter. I think I can keep doing both, and besides, I really want the tee-shirt!

Want to join us in Missoula on June 26? Consider yourself invited, in any capacity — including just sharing the celebratory hot fudge sundae at Big Dipper Ice Cream and/or checking out the Moose Restroom. #goals

I Spy...

These two have grown up together…

Both are TEN! That is Kai with Heidi Heidi (she is a Junior ;) from the H Moon Litter. Thank you, John, for sending that photo — I just love being part of families through these dogs.

And here is a photo that not many of us can ever imagine taking…

My reaction to the photo: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE moose and I love that puppy (Suki from the Bright Stars) and I just love that the photo was shared with me. THANK YOU.

Suki wasn’t even barking at her new friend! She must take after her father because I assure you, Claire would have been on the window ledge barking out all manner of dire threats to said moose, and all of said moose’s relatives, friends, acquaintances, and so on. You get the idea.

Suki, clearly more of a kindly and welcoming kind of girl, appears to be saying: “Hello, Strange Looking New Friend. Please — do enjoy our bush during your visit.”

And just to let you know that my love of moose is not hyperbole — and to also note the Universe has a great sense of timing — these just arrived and are going on the drawers and doors in the guest suite bathroom…

Congratulations to Bright Star, Xeena, who was in her first show this weekend (in Canada) and picked up her first point! Xeena is handled by her wonderful human, Kim.

Her auntie, Sparkler Kiri, finished her CD yesterday with a score of 199/200! That is some seriously awesome work — Congratulations to Team Kiri!

And this is iPup, Nikko, out on a walk in California…

This is Claire from yesterday enjoying her walk…

And Capella on a cold walk this morning…

Happy Sunday to you!
