More Coursing, Of Course!

Two weeks ago Mom took me coursing again in Spokane, where we've gone coursing before. It was lots of fun watching the sighthounds race around! We were there for two days and of course I passed both of my runs with flying colors. We finally got to see another German Shepherd running the course! We have never seen one at any of the other lure coursing events we've gone to. Sadly, she didn't qualify, but I made up for it and redeemed the breed with my super fast runs!

Mom didn't take any pictures of me running this time, but here I am wearing my two new ribbons:

(Mom loves my color so much that she built a new deck on the back of the house to match me. See?)

And here I am wearing my lure coursing collar. It has a quick release latch on it so that when the coursing person shouts "Tally Ho!", Mom can set me free in an instant! I have to run naked. It's the rules.

We also went to Riverfront Park on our trip where I got to play in the fountain! I love water.

Nom nom nom!

Hmmm, what should I do next?

I know! Nom nom nom!

I was very tired after all the racing and nomming, so we went back to our hotel for a rest.

I love going on trips with my Mom! Hopefully we will go on one more coursing trip before the season ends. Stay tuned!

Saber On The Road

Hi again, Saber here! Last week I shared some pictures from my recent dog park experiences in Portland and Vancouver. Now I'd like to show you some of the other fun stuff I did on my trip with Mom and my Girl.

First, we went to Multnomah Falls, Oregon. Mom has taken me there before, see? Here I am last summer with two of my Boys.

Wasn't I cute back then? I was only 9 months old! This year I am 20 months old. See that bridge way up above the lower falls? Well, here's a picture of me up on that bridge last week.

What a fun little hike! And I got to share an ice cream cone with Mom when we got back down. For some reason Mom got to lick first, and then didn't seem to want anymore after I got my licks in. Oh well!

Next we went to see some sturgeon and trout at a fish hatchery.

"Hey, Mom, look! Someone mixed dinner in a giant water bowl! Yum!"

Thinking....

Right after Mom snapped this picture I flung myself into the retaining pond and almost took Mom with me. It was great fun. I'm not sure why Mom didn't get a picture of me swimming. Maybe next time.

Next we drove through the Columbia River Gorge. It was really pretty but I am prettier. See?



After awhile Mom drove across the river back into Washington around Marysville and we drove up, up, up until we had a gorgeous view. We were really high in this picture and for some reason Mom would not let me get any closer to that cliff behind me with the sheer dropoff. I have no idea why.

Apparently we drove up there because Mom wanted to visit the Stonehenge replica which is a war memorial. Generally I like rocks, but this seemed like overkill.

The best part was being with my Girl. I sure love her.

Travelling is nice, but it sure is great to be home! We have more adventures coming up though. Wait and see!
