New Puppy!

Snickers is leaving for formal harness training next week. I will miss him so much, he is a fabulous puppy. I know the first question everyone asks is will you be getting a new puppy, and the answer is of course! I will be picking up a new bundle of puppy fuzz next week, I am getting a female yellow lab/golden cross and her name starts with the letter O. I am so excited for this little girl to arrive but a little nervous about the letter O, since it is unusual and there are nine puppies in this litter. So let the guessing begin!

(P.S. I will be back shortly with pictures of Tartan's farewell and Snickers last puppy class)

Last Day with Tartan

Today was my last day with Tartan, he is getting transferred to his new raiser tomorrow, so I decided to do something fun with him and have a whole day with just me and him.

I decided to take him hiking up to Bridal Veil Falls because it it one of my favorite places. He looks so grown up now and I know he will be such a good boy for his new raiser.




Here is the last picture of my two boys together. I cannot believe that Tartan is taller than Snickers now.
And, after four and a half months I finally got a picture of my labrador rainbow, black , chocolate and yellow.
Here is the last time Tartan played in the yard with his brother and sister.
Then I gave him a bath, nail trim, ear cleaning, and brushed his teeth. He is all pretty for his new raiser.
I sure and going to miss the boy, Tartan is such a good puppy! 10 hours. . .

Fun Day Trip 2011

Here are some pictures of my Fun Day adventures. Me, my roommate and my boys took off on Wednesday the 20th to spend the next four days touristing around California. It was crazy, busy but so much fun. We did Muir Woods, San Fransisco, the golden gate bridge, the Winchester mystery house and of course Fun Day. Anyway, here are the pictures.

Snickers on the way to California.

This the Grinch's Christmas Tree in the Salt Flats. I always love seeing it.

Are we there yet?

Are we there YET?!?!?

After a good nights sleep our first stop was the Winchester Mystery House. It was so cool, we weren't allowed to take pictures in the house so I only have pics of the grounds and museum. Here are the boys in front of some Winchester riffles.

Some old coin machines in the gift shop.

The outside of the house.

Tartan in the barn.

This door is on the third floor and leads to nothing.

The boys in front of the house.

Me and the boys waiting for our tour.

My roommate, me and the boys in front of the house.

The front door was so cool! The owner of the house only used it once.

Next stop, THE BEACH!! Tartan and Snickers loved the sand but HATED the water.

Snick in the sand.

The boys loved running around in the sand.

Snickers finally got into the water.

Me and my boys.

Tartan played with this piece of kelp for like 30 minutes

I am not really sure what Snick is doing but it's cute.

Then we did San Fransisco.

The boys with Alcatraz behind them.

Me, Snickers, my Roommate and Tartan by the sea lion statue.

Then we got Trish's Mini Donuts (A must every single time I am in San Fransisco, those things are addictive!) and ate them while we watched the sea lions. Tartan and Snickers found them fascinating.

The boys in front of the sea lions. There weren't many, I was disappointing. They are way back on the last plank.

Then we got a sundae at Ghirardellis. Also a must! The boys were so tired.

More Alcatraz pictures. I really wanted to do a tour but three weeks in advance just wasn't enough, they were already sold out through August. :(

Me and my boys under the Ghirardelli sign.

The boys getting a water break.

Then we went to Muir Woods. It was amazing and I love walking through those huge trees.

Tartan and Snickers in front of a fallen tree.

I loved the fog on the way back to the place we were staying.

Finally the day I wait for all year, it was Fun Day!

Tartan got to reunite with his brother Tuscan. He was so cute and much more active than Tartan but otherwise they were very similar.

The vet clinic had a car cutout set up that they had raisers taking pictures with. Me and Snick

and me with Tartan

Snickers getting lots of attention from his daddies breeder keeper, he loved all the attention he got all day.

Snickers sister Sweetie. the other chocolate celebrity. She was very cute. She is much shorter and stalkier than Snickers.

Snickers and Tartan got the new jacket patch while at Fun Day.

Snickers looks thrilled.

The boys were way tired after our crazy few days.

On our way back to the place we stayed we stopped by the golden gate bridge.

Then back home to Utah. The boys took a couple days to return to normal. But, I think they both had a great time and were so good on all the outings we went on.

THE END!
