Winter fun!

The cold and snow of New England Winters have set in this month. Even with sometimes subzero temperatures, we still hike and play outside every day.

This is a slow time for dog shows and competitions, but we keep very busy anyway. Nina is continuing obedience and rally training. She is also doing yard drills for field. Nina seems more than ready to earn her Junior Hunt title, but we'll see more about that when there's open water. Baby Crusoe is not such a baby anymore. He is working on growing, learning manners, and has started basic obedience training. Nina and Crusoe have a great time together with Moxie, Henry and Bella joining in.  This month, Pearl visited for just over two weeks. This sweetie and Crusoe still love puppy play. We're so lucky to have these flat coats who crack us up with their antics!

Hope you're enjoying the New Year and Winter!

Silly Nina, you're not a unicorn
