My Shadow

It's not that I feel watched or anything...

Sunday Stroll

 September 9, 2012
Madison, GA

The weather was so beautiful today, that I decided to go on an impromptu road trip. Well, it was more of a Sunday outing. We cruised through beautiful Greene County - which was very lush - and stopped in Greensboro, before heading to Buckhead and Madison.

Madison has a new city park, Town Park, which is quite beautiful. Tessa was ready to test out Cooke Fountain!

Politics

Watching one convention or another, but politics don't interest her.

Greta


August 18, 2012
Jersey, GA 

Tessa (farther out) swims with her friend Greta, a 7-year old GSP.  Little did we know that this would be the last time we would see Greta who died unexpectedly three weeks later. 

Greta was a rescue. She came to our NAVHDA group a little aloof, a little grumpy, and turned gunshy somewhere along the line. But Steve kept on working and living with her, and she came around nicely. She overcame her gun-shyness, and seemed much more at ease with everything and everyone. She did well with the duck searches. Somehow, this dog was always dear to me - some dogs just have a way...

RIP Greta.

NAVHDA training day consisted mostly of the water reward, after she did pretty well on the birds.

Sadly, we have not been to any dock diving events this entire season but every so often, I check to see if she still has it in her. She has. So next year, we will make a better effort. I miss those events and the ribbon collecting!
