Remembrance Day Parade

This was Moka's first appearance in the Parade. She went with grandma Moli.

We were in the holding area waiting for the parade to start. 

Moli posted in front of the first aid van.

We didn't get any pictures during the ceremony. Both girls were very well behaved and stayed quiet during the ceremony.

Our St John Ambulance co-ordinator has a samoyed too.

His famous saying " therapy dog doesn't have to be white"

But we don't want to cuddle a fluffy white sammy.

Cruickshank Canyon Lookout hike

Loki has come to visit. Hermione took her 2 kids out for a pack hike. They packed our water and we did the hike. 

It was a nice sunny start.

We first stopped by Helen McKenzie Lake for a swim and a break.

I tried to have all 3 looking at the camera with a smile.

It hadn't been quite successful.

Now where were the other 2?

That was kinda 3 in the pictures, all faces no butts.

The Fall colour is so beautiful.

We made it to the Canyon so was the cloud. 

Everyone was back on leash. The human were not prepared to jump after the dogs...haha!

Moka the therapy dog Part 2

It has finally arrived.

Moka's therapy dog certificate after she has been working since Dec.2014.

Roadster Summer 2015

We have 3 dogs competing this time. Hermione ran in Master and she started the weekend with a "Q" in Master Jumper.

 

Hermione got a "Q" in Master Standard the next day.

t

Both the young one, Roxy and Moka got "Q" in Starter Snooker.

 

On the last day, Hermione had a beautiful run in Master Snooker. That is her 4th "Q" and earned her the Master Snooker title.

Here is the run.

Roxy got her second "Q" in Starter Gambler and will be moving onto Advanced level.

Here is her run.

Moka had a "Q" in Starter Jumper. 

The weekend finished with Hermione's surely but a bit too slowly Master Jumper. Everyone was exhausted.

We were all very happy with the result from this weekend. We were going home for a rest.

See you next time.

Mount Seymour

Moka visited brother Beckham in Vancouver last weekend. Beckham took her up Mount Seymour for a hike. She was initially not impressed with carrying the backpack with my water. Once she had seen the beautiful scenery, she had forgotten all about it.

They took a swim in the lake when it got too hot.

They took a little nap after lunch before heading back.

It was a total 8 km hike with 450 m elevation, which took us less than 4 hours including breaks.

Enumclaw 2015

Moka is a very good girl. 

She is a good representative for the breed.

She has beauty and she has brain.

She is more than a pretty face.

Moka took select bitch at Mount Rainier Working Dog Club Show in the morning.

She spend lunch hour in Rally Obedience trial, got her third leg, i.e. her Rally Obedience Novice title.

After Rally Obedience trial, she ran back to the ring and took Best in Working Sweepstakes at the Samoyed Club of Washington state show, winning $20, a toy and a jar of cookies. 

She is earning money and bringing food home.

She went onto the regular Samoyed Club of Washington State specialty and got another select bitch, in pouring rain.

She is a true working dog. Weather cannot defeat her.

Beckham thought he can't be outshone by his sister, so he took first in his class in the Samoyed Club of Washington State Specialty, won a nice wooden dog leash holder. Donated by Cindy and Curtis Hill. Thank you.

Mama Hermione went to agility trial on Saturday, came first in her class, got her third leg and her agility novice title.

GVOTC- agility trial 2015

These were the result from the only CKC agility trial that we can make this year.

Roxy rocks. She got the most runs.

Merlin managed to get one clean one without knocking any bars.

We crowned him the "King of the Knocked Bars"

Hermione got one run. She was running fast, just needed to work harder on doing the weave flawlessly. However, she is running in the Excellent level and is the hardest of it all.
