Barn Hunt Take 3

So this was my third time doing the barn hunting. This time they moved it outside and I must say that I was more interested in the smells of all the other dogs there than finding a silly rat.

Even when they showed it to me, I really didn't care like I did the first two times inside. Hm..

Maybe next time I will find the rat. :)

Tempest Agility Class Week 1

So Tempest has started her agility career. She is in a puppy agility play group where she gets introduced to all the agility equipment in a fun and low setting so she can't get hurt.

Oh no! Look who is in her class...it is her sister Jerica!

The goodies

Bokeh with all the goodies he won from the Disc Dog competition.

 photo eJWB_8557_zps84b031d9.jpg

For his first place toss and catch he got a Brilliant K9 Harness. We LOVE Brilliant K9. This one even has the name of our disc dog club embroidered on it.

 photo eJWB_8559_zpsa0ce5f07.jpg

and a cool medal

 photo eJWB_8563_zps15121dd7.jpg

He got second place in freestyle and ended up with this super cool Fleecy Paws leash with the club logo on it

 photo eJWB_8560_zpsc201b449.jpg

and a trophy

 photo EJWB_8562_zpsdfea801c.jpg

Tempest didn't come home with any goodies but she played her heart out. We are proud of both of them.

Eat Her!

Tempest insists on sticking her head in Bokeh's mouth all the time. We finally figured out WHY. We were at the training club and Tempie's mom was there with 2 of her sisters. We saw Lucy (her mom) do this to one of the pups left. Silly puppy.

Locked Out or Locked in???

So last Saturday mom decided to drive all the way to Lake Erie to spend the day with her mom. So while she was gone dadster decided to go out back and pick up dog poo and pull the weeds. Well, he left Starr inside since she isn't a fan of the heat and took me, Bokeh and Tempest out back. He played some frisbee and ball with us in between his duties. Well, he went to get back in the house and Starr must have knocked the door stopper inside the door to stop it from opening. Dadster didn't have any keys on him. Luckily mom was close to home BUT guess what, she left her keys to the house home because she knew dad would be there to unlock the door when she got home. So.....we remembered our good friend Lynn had a key to our home. Well, Lynn was out of town, but luckily she got her neighbor to go in her house and get our key so we could get back in. What a crazy day! Starr was barking like crazy wanting out, we wanted in. If only we taught Starr how to open the door. BOL

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!

 photo EFJWB_8577_zps1f2b1bdd.jpg

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.

 photo EFJWB_8571_zps804261ea.jpg

Picture of the treat

 photo EFJWB_8580_zpsfb898174.jpg

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

 photo EFJWB_8582_zps556b213e.jpg

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

 photo EFJWB_8584_zps7826a06b.jpg

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.

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

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.

 photo EOJWB_8573_zps8fbee448.jpg

Starr the first to try them. She loved them.

 photo EOJWB_8574_zps9eacaa98.jpg

Bokeh's turn

 photo EOJWB_8575_zps1a4bcf44.jpg

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.

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.
