Howliday Mischief!

Recently during our Holiday Photo Shoot, the girls got a little bored!

 Let's play!

Rarw!

"What!? I'm not doing anything!"

Luckily they didn't destroy anything!

Happy Solstice!

Stop And Smell the Lupines?

Photographing Zoe is hard. 

She can be weird out in the environment and she generally does not like to pose. 

I was trying to photograph her with these lupines but she had other ideas!

I did eventually get her to look at me!

Phoenix is definitely the easier "model" to work with and I'm so happy with this shot! 

Too Tired for Mischief & Nosework Fun with Identity V+E!

Zoe says, snooze!! ZZZZzzzz

We had a very busy weekend and both of the girls are just too tired for mischief! On Thursday night we went to dinner at my friend's house and Zoe got to visit with her best buddy, Marley. Sadly, I didn't get any photos. It was just too dark.

Here's an old photo of Marley & Zoe

Then on Friday, I went to a nosework trial with my friend Lia from Identity V+E and her fabulous pup, Riko. While I was at noswork, my husband took the girls to the big park to play.

I'm so glad that Riko liked me! He's so cute and funny! He really wanted to snuggle even though his mom was telling him to get back! LOL! (My face looks grumpy but I was actually really tired and sick with a cold in this photo!)

Riko got 2nd and 3rd place at both of his trials! Congrats to him and his mom!

After nosework, Lia and Riko came over to my place and stayed the night. Here's Riko making friends with my husband for some spaghetti! :D My husband was very taken with Riko. He and I are both huge fans of the malinois breed and we loved having Lia and Riko over. The way Riko's mind works was fascinating to me. I was so excited for a chance to work with such an amazing dog. Lia let me do some shaping (clicker training) with him and it was so fun.

Phoenix resting after a long weekend.

We had a fantastic weekend! There was some mischief with Phoenix. She and Zoe were a little stressed out with Riko in the house. They are not used to sharing their space, so we kept them separated and at one point we did have a little bit of a lunge and screech from Phee at Riko (they were both on leash) but they did really well other than that. We also had mischief with my cat, Pandora who kept trying to escape from the bedroom. Overall though everyone did so well!

Who Destroyed the Living Room?? Monday Mischief
