Tempest turn

Tempest turn to show off her disc doggin moves. This is her doing her toss and catch in Intermediate division. She didn't get a placement but she played her heart out. She is going to be amazing once her and dadster get their timing down.

Tempest actually earned her first title on Sunday. She earned her DQ-Bullseye Advanced title. Here is a video of her in action. During this game dad has to stand in the middle of the bullseye and then you earn points for the farther out the dog catches them. Tempest landed all of hers in the higher point zone. There were over 20 dogs competiting in this and Tempest came in 4th place. Not bad at all for a seven month old puppy! We had so many people come up and tell us how great Tempest is and they look forward to watching her learn and improve as she gets older.

and here is Bokeh doing his Bullseye

Fromm Treats

This is part 2 of the Chewy.com review. Bokeh eats Fromm food so when we were given the opportunity to review the new treats we were all over it.

Chewy.com sent the package to us very quickly. The flavor they sent us to try is Cheese Recipe. These treats are manufactured in the USA (good thing there have been so many reports of foods coming in from China). The treats are a nice size and crunchy like a cracker. They are made with fresh cheese. Did you say cheese? Yes please! The ingredients include: wheat flour, cheese, salt, brewers dried yeast and garlic powder (I heard that helps keep the fleas away, so can I have a few extra treats mom?)

Me posing with the bag of treats. Hurry up dad so we can try these out!

Up close of the bag. We think the bag is very nicely designed. Not too busy and easy to read. They kept it simple and to the point and made it very easy to read the ingredients, etc.

All of us sitting nicely so dadster will hurry up and pass out the treats

Bokeh wanted to do a trick to get his treat quicker, BOL

So to sum it up, we would purchase these again in the future. These would be treats that we can use for either training or as a reward for coming back in the house, we could keep some in the treat jar. Thank you Chewy.com for allowing us to sample these new yummy treats.

Oh...one last thing. Louisville Weimaraner Rescue will receive a $20 donation for any NEW customers making their first purchase if they just use this LINK HERE

Orijen Treats

So as you all know by now Tempest, Starr and I all eat Orijen. Tempest eats the Puppy and Starr and I eat the adult because we are big girls now. Anyhoo, our friends over at Chewy.com asked us if we would like to try the new Orijen treats so we of course barked YES YES YES!

Chewy.com sent the package to us very quickly. The flavor they sent us to try is Ranch Raised Lamb. These treats (and our food) are manufactured in Canada. The treats are freeze dried. The ingredients are 100% lamb, boneless lamb, lamb liver and lamb tripe. The treats are soft and a nice size. Since we do so much agility and training we are super happy to hear that Orijen is now making treats so we can use these during our training. We are always looking for treats that are soft and easy to break up into smaller pieces during training.

I was being silly and trying to smile at dad so he would give me my treat before Starr. Starr always gets hers first since she is the oldest in the house.

Starr the first to try them. She loved them.

Bokeh's turn

Oh and for those worried about their figure, you will be happy to know they are only 5 calories per treat.

So to sum it up, we are very happy to hear Orijen is finally making treats. We will be buying these to use during our training in the future. Thank you Chewy.com for allowing us to sample these new yummy treats.

Dawe's

Last month we went to Dawe's Aboretum and Frankie and Ernie met us there. They brought us some more donations for mom's rescue (they are SO kind). We went there to take pictures for a friend for Mothers Day.

Quick photo op by the Japanese garden.

Barkley

So....some of you may not know this but we used to foster dogs for a mixed breed rescue group. We have kind of gotten away from that since we currently have a full house of permanent residence. Anyhoo....we had a foster puppy named Barkley back in May 2010. You can see puppy pics and read about Barkley on our old post HERE.

Barkley got adopted by an author who lived in Massachusetts. When Barkley left for his new home momster cried a little more than normal because she thought she would never see him again. Well...guess what! They moved to COLUMBUS earlier this year. One of mom's good friends actually lives with Barkley and his family and she brought him to see us when she was having her photos taken for Mothers day. Momster was so happy to see Barkely again. He grew up to be so much bigger than mom though. He is so tall. He is such a good boy though.

Three years later I was reunited with my past foster brother.
