No, not the season as much as I wish it were.  Summer is a lovely Sheltie girl I met last year at an agility trial.  She’s had a rough time early on being from a puppy mill where the adult dogs were tossed in a pen and left to feed on whatever they could.   The scars from her ordeal are still there.  When we first met, she was extremely shy, especially toward men.  I spent a bit of time getting to know her and got some nice images of her during her runs as well.

This past weekend, I ran into Summer at a trial again. She’s still a little skittish, but who wouldn’t be.  She did come up to me (there were some treats involved) and demonstrate her “touch” and “down” for me.  Her human is doing great things for Summer and it shows.

It was two days of fun, fur and photos.  Everyone was great and I got lots of pup-love.

The picture is of Rocky who had a fantastic weekend including a perfect score and a host of other accomplishments.

He’s a sweet little Corgi, but it was hard for me since we lost our own Sam the Corgi not so long ago.

He is a Phraraoh Hound lucky enough to be owned by Laurie Williams, the star of the CBS TV show Greatest American Dog and owner of Pupniron Canine Fitness and Learning Center.
