Pup Portrait at Sister Grove Park!

CrossFit

My brother Rick competed for the first time in Crossfit this past Sunday.  He entered the Master's Division and kicked butt!  That's some hard stuff they make them do!  

Here are the photos I have of him!

 

 

Sister Grove Park!

We haven't been in weeks, it's good to be back at the park!  It was a beautiful day out!

Work Photo Contest

My work is having a contest of employee and their hobby.  You send in a photo and the winner gets the photo posted in their newsletter.  AND THE BEST PART... front row parking at the corporate office for the month of March!!!  That will work out for this night shifter that works offsite.  Anyways, I can probably give it to someone that works their.

Here is the photo I've entered.  I had to do a collage, because I have two... well three hobbies.  Dog agility, sheep herding and photography.

Strength

"The last three or four reps is what makes the muscle grow. This area of pain divides the champion from someone else who is not a champion. That's what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they'll go through the pain no matter what happens."
-Arnold Schwarzenegger

And I saw this today from my brother in his crossfit competition. I'm very proud of him.

 

 

Happy 9th Birthday Boys!

It's Bum & Will's birthday today! Not much celebrating going on as Bumble is not feeling well. I think he ingested plastic again and it's stuck. Fingers cross that it passes and we can celebrate another day.

Here's a picture of Will taking care of his brother hoping he'll feel better.

Thankful for Life

"No matter how good or bad you think life is, wake up each day and be thankful for life.  Someone somewhere else is fighting to survive."  -Unknown

Reasons

“There are many reasons why so many of us choose to share our lives with a pet--it's the perfect antidote for loneliness, providing an endless supply of smiles and the certainty of unwavering companionship, and many of us have seen the way a pet can make a family feel whole.”

Paw Prints

“People leave imprints on our lives, shaping who we become in much the same way that a symbol is pressed into the page of a book to tell you who it comes from. Dogs, however, leave paw prints on our lives and our souls, which are as unique as fingerprints in every way.”
― Ashly Lorenzana

Heart

"A dog doesn't care if you're rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he will give you his.”
― John Grogan

 

Beauty

24 Dog Hike!

Yesterday, I met up with my friends for a hike at Sister Grove Park and we ended up with a total of 24 dogs!  Beautiful day out as we were out there for about 2 1/2 hours.  

It was funny seeing everyone trying to get their dog's to stay... mine knew the routine.  As the pictures below show not all wanted to stick around for the photo shoot!

Here's a photo of 19 of the dogs!

Here's a photo of 15!
