Missed Santa Pic and News

Hi y'all,

My apologies to Mr. Luther & Miss Payton. I somehow didn't scan there Christmas card until it was too late, doh! Either way, have a gander at it now, better late than never. These two cuties are always photo ready...

(Priceless! Payton always looks like that but I have never seen Luther with that petrified looking, don't-mess-with-me gaze hahaha!)

Some news links for ya:

I hope your New Year's holiday went well. I cranked up the pipes at Midnight, always a pleasure to be able to do that lol. ;)

Have a nice week, welcome 2012!

Coppertoned!

Hey everybody,

I hope you had a great 4th of July weekend and have been enjoying this precious weather we so deserve!

This morning we welcomed Copper to The Fort for his assessment. He is a dashing, four year old, forty-five pound, orange, black and white Australian Cattle Dog (Red Healer).

Copper spent his time in the Big Roll and did very well. He seems like a dog that would do just fine with the Big or Med pack. Being a Red Healer, Copper is naturally strong, agile and intelligent.
Unfortunately, he didn't play a whole lot today (first day sessions go like that 50% of the time) but he did speak good dog and seemed quite comfortable around the pack. We all have a feeling that he will most definitely "Bust Out" once he gets a few more visits under his belt.

Have a great BBQin day!

P.S. Yesterday I played with the band in the largest parade Seattle has ever had (International Lions Club Convention Parade). It was too exciting but boy am I glad that I was able to borrow some sunscreen from a band-mate. If I hadn't, I would have been one hurtin' unit lol. Tomorrow we play inside Key Arena for the convention show! :)
