Celebration pics LOTS of them

[lv4dogs]

I have 5o something pics to post so please be patient & keep on the lookout for additions to this post. Sorry if some are similiar to others I was picture happy!

Kaige, Raustyk & I decided to celebrate Kaige's graduation from puppy class with outings to a few local parks/hikingtrails over the weekend. We also celebrated the nice weather! ;)

I am proud of my boy, he graduated at the top of the class! We move onto Advanced 1 which starts this Sat. There are only 2 dogs from our class of 10 that are moving onto advanced. A few failed, mostly the owners that failed not the dogs lol and a few just wanted to do one class. Some people didn't even want to do the one class but they had to. One of the shelters in our area will only adopt out certain dogs if you take them to this obedience class.

Anyways here's the fun we had this past weekend!

This is the begining of the day. We hiked up a large hill, called Indian Hill.
Starting our walk:
Come on mom... put that flashy thing away & hike

Good job Kaige for doing a 10 minute stay! Give him a high five for me ;)

All those pictures are so neat, thanks for sharing! I do have one question that I've been wondering since I joined: How do you pronounce Raustyk's name?

EDIT: Oh, sorry, I thought you were done posting pictures. I've been sitting here waiting paitently for you to finish and you weren't even done :o

[Jessika]

[Toby's my baby]

[lv4dogs]

I do have one question that I've been wondering since I joined: How do you pronounce Raustyk's name?


It is pronounced rustic, rus·tic.

[.sarah]

It is pronounced rustic, rus·tic.
Ooh I was close, I was saying it like rawstick lol. It is a foreign word or just a unique spelling?

[Jessika]

I kept saying "rrr-oww-stick" hehe

Thanks! I SO wish I had a better camera AND was better at taking pictures!!!

What you have aussies and you would die if they ever got muddy? ;) Thats all we do! Have fun, hike & get dirty!!! lol You should of seen him, almost his whole body was all mud like that, up to his shoulders anyways. Of course it happened right afer I put away my camera. I go to get my camera out & he hops in the water & washes off. (insert rolling eyes smilie)

(my smilies won't work & I don't know what keys make the rolling eyes)

Just a unique spelling. The meaning is still the same. ;)

Rolling eyes smiley = : rolleyes : (no space)

And yeah mine do get down and dirty but I guess they don't really have the opportunity here since our "beach" is a rock beach, not dirt or sand so even swimming ALL day they don't get muddy you know?? I can't wait until I get my own house and they discover digging in the back yard... haha I'm in for fun then!

[petslover]
