Am I Not Turtlely Enough For You???

The other morning, before work, I saw Lexi and Foster sniffing in the grass and then jumping back from something, over and over again. I really thought they may have found a snake, but turns out they were just scaring a little box turtle that wandered into our yard from somewhere. When I got home from work there was no sign of the little guy.

Last Saturday morning we woke up to another limb down in our yard. This time it was from the neighbor's oak tree. It has been dead quite some time, but I don't know what made it fall on a completely clear night.... We are trying to get with our neighbor sometime this week to cut it up and get it down without hopefully harming the fence.


Speaking of the fence, last weekend Mike finished the majority of the new gate!!! We now have a 2 door gate instead of the old heavy 1 door gate. All that is left to do is put the latch on!!


All of the pups are doing fine! Lexi is taking an obedience class and is back herding in addition to agility training. I am slowly figuring out that her "shutting down" is really her saying "I just don't want to do what you want me to do". But we are working through it, and I hope all of the different exposure she is getting at all of the classes will help her agility:) Foster is doing great!! Just gearing up for the MOTC trial at the end of this month! We (me, Lexi, and Foster) will be staying with Jennifer and Moana (Cletus and Dexter too) in a pop up RV next to our friends Steve and Terry! We have a great BBQ Night and Fiesta Night in the works for the weekend!! Bailey is doing great too! She is really coming a long way with her herding!!

I was really upset when I heard the other day that there would be no AKC agility at the St. Jude Showcase of Dogs this year. It is one of two shows that we have here at home all year. But today I heard that they would be doing a 3 day USDAA trial instead! Even though Foster can't compete in USDAA (jumps are too high for him), it will be a good show for Lexi! YEAH!

Tomorrow is Imma-Jane's very 1st birthday, and Saturday is my Mom's birthday, sooo...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to them both!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Mike!!!!!!!!!!!

It has been a few weeks so I will try and catch everyone up on what has been going on...

Today is Mike's Birthday!!!!!!! Of course, the cake was Baskin Robbins white cake with chocolate chip ice cream as it must be every year! :)

This spring I decided to try and grow some blueberries because they are so expensive at the stores. So we got a little blueberry plant from Lowe's and today I took my first blueberry harvest!!! They were delicious!!

Here are a some pictures of Lexi and her sister Blue waiting "patiently" for their turn at agility practice. Lexi has recently started back to herding lessons too. She loves the sheep and the ducks! (Well chasing them anyways)

Mike and I also celebrated our 3rd Anniversary on May 28th!


And I will leave you with a couple of pictures of Foster and Bailey just hanging out in the yard.
Maybe next time I will attempt to upload a video!
Can you guess what Bailey is waiting for?? (Its green, round, and fuzzy...)
