I am writing today to catch up on our last couple of weeks.
Our grandmother came to visit us from Florida. She was hoping for some cooler weather than was at her home but she enjoyed coming to visit anyway. We didn't get to spend much time with her because she doesn't really like dogs and doesn't think they should be in a house...I don't know what is wrong with her. I always sit quietly next to her but since my sister has absolutely NO impulse control, we all had to stay in the kitchen until she went to bed every night.
The humans all went to the Massanutten ski slopes to watch fireworks and had this thing where they put the food on a blanket in the ground...which I would have liked to have been invited to!!! That sounds like easy pickin's for food!!! I think they call it a picnic. Either way, we got to try some of the food that Mom made for about 14 people!
In addition, our human sister Samy drove her 1st road trip (14 hours)--to visit us from Florida!! It was nice to see her --we had missed her and love playing with her.
This past weekend we all went to Winchester, VA to a trial. Hasten competed in her 1st 3 day trial and she earned her Open Standard title and moved to her 1st Excellent class.
It was a good weekend. We had lots of Q's --and on Sunday, I earned another Double Q! It was tough--it was so hot outside and not much cooler inside that I got to stay home on one day but I didn't even do that much squirrel hunting! The most interesting news is that Mom ran me in Standard class!!! Here is our first run together in almost 4 months---Wendy ran me in Jumpers and together we Double Q'd---NUMBER 18--as if that is important!!! Actually our Sunday runs are here:

Hasten started feeling sickly (tummy trouble) on Sunday and although she Q'd in one class, she did not in the last class of the evening. I actually felt sorry for my little bratty sister--she was quite pitiful. (Total Q's--3 for Hasten, 3 for me!)
Ciaran was, as usual, the hit of the day. He came to the trial with us on Sunday with Dad and everyone wanted to see him, pet him and ask what he is. Someone actually asked if there were more like him available. I guess they think he is cute.
Here is two little clips of him starting agility--he really loves it--kind of crazy--I don't remember ever being that happy in class...especially in my first few weeks...er months!

Ciaran 2nd class
In other Ciaran-related news--he has learned how to jump up on the couch--not sure how something with legs so short can do this but here's proof!
Anyway, glad things have cooled off around here--we have been on two walks and have chased several squirrels.
Thanks for reading folks!
I have to go snark at my little brother and sister!
