Every lil' Success is Reason to Celebrate ;o)

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Willow, "Camper" Leena, Emma & Sutter

The fashion word has announced that Emerald Green is the color for 2013 ... Yipeee ... Emerald Green & White have been the official Golden Embers colors, so we're right in style ;o)

Snowshoeing

Our landscape is snow-covered and perfect for snowshoeing thru our own woods, a pocketful of kibble and a piercing whistle sound brings the girls at a gallop (and how yummy are "deerberries"), windy temps hovering near zero have safely frozen the pond for perfect ball chasing games ... the excercize of splitting and hauling firewood on sleds keeps the woodbox full ever other day, and "whenever" naps around the warm woodstove prove that Winter is sure in full swing ;o)

Emma introduces Leena to "Deerberries"!

Great Explorations!

Willow will celebrate her 3rd birthday on Monday (1-28) ... she has not yet chosen her favorite "Performance Sport-dog" event, but she loves all the training(Agility, Rally Obedience & Tracking), loves a relaxed swim and more importantly, she's just the best loving snuggler ever ;o)


Willow & Emma share the Birthday Cake toy
(plays Happy Birthday)

Willow's fluffy tail is the last to submurge!



Willow gets comfy ;o)

Sutter will be 11yrs in 2 weeks (with the heart/mind of a real youngster) and in her 10th year has proven that she can be a real "team" player on the Agility course ... her "wild-child" run-offs are only occasional when something new interupts her focus ... she's just a superstar in her Winter Agility League performances (6 teams of 6)  ;o)


Weave those Poles Sutter!!!

Sutter Jumping on Course!

Emma's 2nd birthday isn't till May 8th and her proud "brag" is just how much she loves her Agility "Doggie school" sessions and is showing just how well she's learned all her lessons ... a proud team!

Emma proud of what she's learned  ;o)

Emma Birdwatching ;o)

 

Leena & Emma just having fun!

Thank Goodness for "Mother Nature's Bathtub"  ;o)

 

We continue to have an occasional "camper" visit us ... over the holidays it's been Leena from SunKissed kennels ... we celebrate her first birthday on Wednesday (1-30) as she enjoys all the adventures that Camp Cedar has to offer ... running/chasing/tugging with 3 Golden camp-buddies, snowshoeing, ball retrieving, "bonie-chewing", learning some beginner Agility, sharing our fun of travel adventures and snuggling together by the cozy woodstove at day's end ;o)

Leena, Emma & Willow at day's end ;o)

Leena

It's really "friendly" sparing!

Emma, Willow & Leena

... and finally, admittedly this Blogger is not the most savy when it comes to electronics ... Internet access has been really sketchy lately here in the woodsy country and Blogging has not been possible ... an exciting new device and hopefully we're back in business ... HURRAY ;o)

Celebrate Every Success ... Big and Small ;o)
