Sedona Hike

 Zephyr, Astro, and I went on a nice hike in Sedona.  We took the Brins Mesa - Soldier Pass - Cibola Pass loop which is about six miles.  The weather was beautiful in the 60s.

 This month is the 3 year anniversary of Zephyr getting encephalitis and it's been a little over 2 years since he finished his chemotherapy treatments.  Everyday I remember how lucky I am to have him.  He's a super healthy boy.

 

Zephyr and Astro met lots of people on the trail and received some nice comments on how sweet they are.  They were on leash for the hike.  I just took their leashes off for the pictures.  They would have loved a run around, but there are cactus and it's a pretty public trail.

 

A beautiful day.

Not the best pictures because they were taken with my phone.  But, they were so happy with their find.

Dog Worker

Zephyr and Astro got the Dog Worker puzzle by Nina Ottosson today.  I've wanted to get it for them for a long time, but it's a little pricey.  But, I finally just did it and I'm glad I did.  I think it will be a lot of fun.

This is Zephyr's first time seeing it.  I was really happy with how he went right at it.  He likes to use his paws and nose.

Astro was game from the start too.  My click was late and then he didn't find his treat, but he continued.  I first saw this puzzle done by the Greyhound Carly, with Joan Malak.  Astro is related to Carly and I think it's neat that Astro used his mouth to lift the blocks like Carly.

Arizona Highways

 Last March Astro and I were asked to be part of a filming of the agility club in Cottonwood, AZ for the Arizona Highways Magazine television show.  It was a lot of fun and it was part of a show that aired in late May.  Here is the clip from the show.

All is Well

 Just wanted to do a quick post to say that we are all doing well.  Just haven't been able to update the blog in a long time.  Sorry I haven't been around to visit my blog friends in so long.  I've just been busy with work and basically just everyday things.  Astro is doing great in agility.  We are working on our Excellent titles in Standard and Jumpers with Weaves.

 Zephyr turned seven on January 6.  We celebrated with Surf and Turf, beef bones and salmon.

 We celebrated Christmas in Phoenix with my parents.

 The weather was lovely and the boys always enjoy the grass.

 Both Zephyr and Astro have been super healthy.

All of the fun left everyone feeling like this.  Hope everyone is doing well!
