Time goes too fast!!

Well it appears summer has arrived in northern BC. It has been warm/hot and sunny now for a week. We made another trip to Quesnel to visit the labs at Eromit Labrador Retrievers last week. I finally got to meet Nestle the grand matriarch of the clan. She is a beautiful old soul of 15 years. She now gets to observe her great great grand puppies.

Davie got to herd his favorite black sheep, AKA Verona. And Jackie also joined in the fun this time. Emmi got to play with Victor who is 3 weeks younger than her but almost as big. We also got a picture of the Tennessee Trio, Chester, Shelby and Emmi. Chester and Shelby come from LockFive Labs in Lebanon, TN, just up the road from Davis Branch Blueticks in Shelbyville.

We also did a special puppy prep class for the Pawsitive Steps Puppy Camp in Quesnel next weekend. We have been doing our homework so it should be a fun weekend. We get to stay in our new truck tent. Other than that we have been doing yard work and trying to stay cool. Oh yes and watching Le Tour de France. Well I have the other two would sooner sleep.

Victor got my attention so Emmi could go for the hair scrunchie

How come he doesn't fall over

Thanks to Erin for most of the above pictures.

 Oh and Davie got to add another puppy to his puppy list and this one is a Border Collie. His name is Teddy and he is the new little brother for Reggie and Josie the Golden Retrievers. Emmi kinda likes him too.

Don't worry I'm looking after them

 I wrote this post yesterday and didn't publish. I am so sorry to say that Nestle passed over the Rainbow Bridge today. I am so happy I had the privilege of looking into those wise old eyes that were as clear as a puppy's. There are some dogs that you know have a wise old soul and have been around many times, Nestle was one of these dogs. It will be different at Eromit with out the Matriarch but she will always be there and watching the antics of the puppies that are part of her legacy. R.I.P beautiful lady. To see Nestle's picture check this link http://www.eromit.com/0905ourdogs.html. Or Eromit also has a FaceBook page with wonderful pictures.
