Announcing "Hannah"

Update day 2

Hannah slept from 8:30PM last night until 4:45AM this morning, I was up on my computer already and heard her start to stir. She whined a couple times and laid back down, Rosie got up when she heard the whine and Woo, Wooo from Hannah. I picked Hannah up and brought her out back as soon as I put her down on the ground she squatted and peed. Day two and she has only gone to outside so far. She figured out how to go up the back porch stairs this morning too. She's going to be a smart one I think.

We picked up "Hannah" on Friday, she's a 9 week old purebred Lab.

We had Harley up at our Vet a couple weeks ago and they mentioned they had pups available. We got one! She's adorable. But we were camping, so they agreed to keep her for 10 or so days until we got home. We just couldn't wait and ended up leaving camp a day early and scheduled a pickup.

Remember puppies, puppy proofing, puppy breath? We do...

Here's Hannah!

She loves carrying her own leash around, soccer balls and she points already. Harley and Gordon are still getting used to having a girl around the house.

Camping 2018

Camping last week was HOT!

Wow, setting up camp in 96 degrees with 70% humidity was brutal, took a while to recover from that, maybe again in the fall. It cooled off later in the week back to the 80s, that made for some better fishing too. We cut the week short though, midweek Harley had a stroke (Not as bad in dogs as it is in humans, scary to see though, thankfully we were there when it happened.) We called our vet and spend a few nights at home just in case though so far no recurrence and Harley seems to be doing much better.

Camping was great, Fishing, eating, swimming, sitting around the fire, a Pie Eating contest. I caught a nice small-mouth bass, and several Kibs, I think Jarrod caught a nice size perch and 30+ kibs. James is becoming quite the fisherman too. Jason worked on his fishhook removal skills from caught fish.
