As any of you who have been following "Upcoming Events"know, Jocelyne and I met up with Isobel and Gordie to attend the Border Terrier Club of Ontario - CKC Earthdog Sanction Test, the first event of this kind in Canada. Well, it was a "blast"!
|
|
On the way down we stopped at the 1000 Islands Parkway for a picnic lunch
|
|
|
Which saw the BT's munching on cheese, peppers, carrots, and goose droppings!!!
|
|
|
After a relatively uneventful trip down (despite the power outages and questionable gas availability) and stopping in at the Test site to make certain everything was "hunk dory" - we arrived at Isobel's and introduced the latest BT additions to Gordie!
|
|
|
"If I close my eyes that puppy thing will cease to exist!"
|
|
"See - it worked"
Gordie - once more in charge of his domain
|
|
|
"Let me out of here - I promise I'll never bark at a big dog again!"
|
|
|
"The very first CKC Earthdog Sanction Test"

|
|
|
All in all a well run event
|
|
|
|
|
On the way home, we stayed overnight at the Spotted Dog B&B in Madoc (dog friendly and recommended) and then continued along scenic Route 7 before calling in at Fred & Marnie's for breakfast. |

Penny - the "hostess with the mostest"

Arguing over the plates? - Who's washing, who's wiping?

Just one week later, Jacqueline and I met up with Jenny, Barb, Chris, JoAnn, Marg and Amanda's Indy at the Lackawanna AKC Earthdog Tests near Scranton PA. Beautiful weather, great site, excellent organization and wonderful company all made for a memorable weekend.

"OK! We've found the Blasted Church Vineyard, now where's the blasted wine?"
|
|
|
Blasted Church
Vineyard is the actual name of the vineyard. Many years ago a decision was made to move a small
nearby church from one location to another. In order to loosen the nails in
the wooden church prior to dismantling it for the move, a small dynamite
charge was used, hence Blasted Church.
