There was frost on my windshield Wednesday morning. I was up early (pre-dawn, omg!) to go herding with Jubilee and Oda. I have been dramatically remiss in updating this summer, and there's no reason other than I was doing stuff with my dogs! Good enough. Still, I took lots of pictures over the summer, and so I'll try to do a quick update.

Back in early May, we had a training weekend in Bath County. Lynx is the dog I was training in HRD work, and he went to live with a friend in Florida in April (he is now doing competitive agility, obed/rally, lure coursing, dock diving, personal protection training, and soon, nosework! He needed more "work" to be happy, and he's in the perfect place for that!)

I don't even remember June. Things happened. I tried to get the pool to go from jade green to clear blue, with slow, slow progress. The dogs swam nevertheless.

June 30th, the U-litter puppies were born! That always throws everything out of whack for me for a while--it usually involves at least one all-nighter if not two, and it just sucks all my attention for a while like a black hole of puppydom.

July... wow, I don't even. Life occurred. It was good.

Nike turned 15 on July 27, so she got cake and pictures with three of her kids:

In August, it was surprisingly fall-like--cooler than normal. But there
were a few adventures and the pool stayed blue! Sunny came to visit while she was in heat, and
her sister Josie came for a play date. Nemi turned 2 on August 31. Sumo
came to visit for a week. And there were puppies....

That brings us up to September. I'll save that for another post!
