Back home there is yard work to be done


In Maine, Lizzie is on a mission - checking the lawn for moles.


and buddy Bonus does some judicious pruning


Down in Maryland, Colin makes a mental to-do list

"I can't reach the key" Tank has tractor trouble in Quebec


"Where to start?" Bramble (a.k.a. Twizzle) surveys her Nova Scotia domain


Yard work is exhausting so Geordie-NS takes a break - on Ellie


...while in New Brunswick, Hermit prefers a "smoother" pillow.


...but who's taking care of this Vermont garden?? They're fired!!!


2009 New Jersey Beanfield Earthdog festival


Thanks to Steve, Chris gets some time away from the "dog stuff"


With a great ride to the Pine Barrens with the "Hamilton HOG"


...and another up North to Joe's Hot Dog Stand.


Freddie and Sophie hanging out at the NJBEC Spring Festival on Training day Saturday


Sunday's Jersey Junkyard Challenge, Gunter and Zeke were successful but Colin "aced" it


A pretty but natural looking Intro earth used for Novice at the AWTA trial on Monday


Gunter waits patiently at the start of Tuesday's canoe trip. Although not the best weather, we had an excellent paddle on the Wading River.


Lunch time and lots of goodies including pretty blue hard boiled eggs from JoAnn's chickens and mango slices for all.


The end of the trip, once again we are indebted to the guides of the state park for a safe and educationl visit to the Pine Barrens.


The formal events are over so "it's a hunting we will go" up at the Sussex County Fairgrounds


...or not! Anna's trio are content to remain stationary after two days on the road


While Uncle Colin graciously pupsits the "travellin T's" - Tank and Twiggy


The guys round out the week with a spot of fishing and this one did not get away


...neither did these, a fresh fish supper to remember with lots left for the freezer


Sunday and a last play date for the pups before they go their separate ways.

May Days!!!


"If the shoe box fits..." Geordie (previoulsy known as Toast - fitting in very nicely


"What's wrong with this picture?" No Borders but bordering on the ridiculous


With an election looming in Nova Scotia - this one seems appropriate



Mr Tumnus wishes his siblings a happy nine-month mark (though not in the house of course)


Robyn shares upcoming birthday plans with her new two-month-old pals Tank and Twizzle


Roger gets cheese & steak, Gunter and Gizmo get muffins,
Zeke has to settle for grass!!!



"Hello down there!" Toast checks out his first chuck hole


"That's a pretty big hole!" Twiggy demonstrates wise caution


"I don't think anyone is home!" Tank hopes she's right


"Nope! There's no-one home!" Twizzle the instant expert


While grandpa prefers to take it easy on vacation


...and even Mom is happy to grab a nice afternoon nap
