Puppy Kisses

LP's new puppy is adorable.



Look at her little white chin!

 

Clever loves her new mama.

 

Side view!  (She's not sure she likes whatever's in her mouth, though...)
You can see the white spot she has in her ruff area, if you look next to her ear.
A "naughty spot" in reverse?  She also has a freckle on her left front leg.



Puppy flew alone all the way across the country this weekend.
Still tired this afternoon...



....but willing to explore!

 

Puppy kisses!  So sweet.

 

Riff and I had fun today, too! 

We were able to go to the field out at AARF this morning, where Riff acted like an old pro.  He took the contact equipment easily (although I'm still avoiding their teeter).  Started him at 26" for the show on the 21st, and he sailed over the jumps beautifully.  AARF has made some lovely improvements since we were last there (about a year ago). 

This afternoon we had a "weave entry" lesson with LP, after which I mapped out a lesson plan.  It's based on 2x2, but we'll be working with 4 to 6 poles - mostly 6.
