Loki learns what birds are

Since we were heading to our new dog trainer with Odin we thought this would be a perfect time to introduce him to Loki who had only been part of the family for a little over 24 hours. Chris and Ben also thought this would be a perfect time to introduce the little guy to birds since every Brittany is supposed to be somewhat naturally birdy even as a puppy.

It was funny to watch Chris laying down on the ground playing with Loki and introducing him initially to a pigeon. At first Loki wasn't sure about his whole bird thing but after a few minutes of Chris playing with him and the pigeon he caught on that this was something he wanted. 

Hello Mr. Pigeon

 By the end of the day we had him pointing a chuckar and finding it in various coveys as it flew around. I think Ben definitely has another bird dog in the family and maybe next year he can go out with both dogs during hunting season.

Our Newest Family Member- Loki

We decided to expand our little family with a new Brittany puppy who joined us on Friday, July 16th.. Meet Lacey Mtn's B Campbell Little Jester otherwise know as Loki. He is currently 9.5 weeks old and is learning about life. Odin has taken to have the little guy around quite nicely and we think he really likes having a playmate since the boys are always playing or snuggling together in the evenings.

Thought for the Day!

When life gives you lemons, puree strawberries and make strawberry lemonade! If that doesn’t work, add vodka.

8th Anniversary

Yesterday we celebrated our 8th anniversary. I guess time really does fly when your having fun.

The last year has been filled with both good times and bad, the smiles and laughter FAR surpass the frowns and tears. We're a team and we've accomplished a lot together over the last year and in the past 8 years.

We both feel very thankful. Thankful to have a partner like each other in this crazy thing we call life and we very much look forward to the years ahead....

We decided to stay home to celebrate this year as things have been a little crazy with our recent big decisions (stay tuned for more details) and had a home cooked Mexican dinner and spent time with Odin.

Happy Long Weekend

Were basking in the joy of having a 3-day weekend. Our plan is to do some dog training at Sauvie Island with our new trainer, visit friends and family, relax and sleep in, finish working on the house and hopefully enjoy a few Seattle sun breaks.

HAPPY 4th of July WEEKEND!
