Willow Passes Her CCA

 GMGRC Photo ... Willow (R)
On Columbus Day weekend, after baths for all and all car bedding washed, we were packed and left in the 5:30am foggy darkness and headed to Northern Vermont for 20 month old Willow's "Canine Certificate Assessment" ... 3 AKC judges independently evaluated her, as compared to the "ideal" Golden Retriever and she earned 83 out of a possible (near impossible) 100 points  ;o)   It was a sunny warm day and the folliage color was just supurb ... perhaps we'd camp overnight and explore the north country and enjoy a leisurly trip home!
? Bees or Mushroom ?
Just 48 hours prior, Willow had a severe allergic reaction to ? bees in the wild Asters or a dust cloud from a ruptured "Puff Mushroom" while out playing ball after supper ... Benadryl for 4 days finally brought the hives swelling down!

Emma 5 1/2 Months Old

Willow & CCA Rosette

Emma continues to "grow like a weed" and recently started thinking that she owns the recliner ... OhYa!!!!
She continues to amaze me in "doggie school" with her sitting calmly for greetings, downs-out-of-site and heeling at my side while weaving amongst the other classmates ... good girl ;o)
Enjoy their photo story ;o)
