It's hard to believe that we are getting close to September.
I am getting fall class schedules sorted - it is taking a little more time due to my wrist break and recovery. Those who have asked to be included in fall classes, I have your info. I will be sending out an email to my bigger email list- so you will get some info there as well, but I do have you/
September 7- we are actually going to be a go for a fun scent day at the Bern Art Maze in Lunenburg. This will be a fundraiser for Misfit Manor. I know that there is a CKC trial that day and we'll miss some of you. We will be having some fun trial searches as well as some try-it opportunities. Hopefully I'll be able to see if we can eventually do a real trial there.
With my wrist fracture and recovery, I will once again likley be moving locations in the fall. Stay tuned. We are pretty excited about the space and are going to be way more at ease as it will be a much safer space for me in case of emergency.
Thanks for being patient during this trying summer.

If anyone is evacuated this evening or tomorrow etc, I have crates and can accommodate some dogs and other critters at my spot in Nine mile river. I am teaching in Burnside this evening, but can head back out there when i'm done to open up if needed. Please reach out if you need.

Socialization is often misunderstood in puppies. Many people assume it's about having their pups meet and greet every dog and person they see. I often see pups forced into situations they would rather not be in, or puppies expect to be able to meet everyone.
This is an example of Fyre's socialization. Sge went swimming, and watched the world at a patio and learned to just be. I am trying to build coping skills in the real world.

Some puppy spam for everyone. Once I have my anticipated recovery timeline (surgical recheck next Thursday), I will start updating everyone who is interested in fall classes.
In the meantime, a little peak on introducing Fyre to hunting and detection work....letting her discover balls in the field behind the facility while she is out walking

To bring some much needed spice, spark, and joy into our world.."Fyrefly" has arrived.
Let the healing begin.

We have appreciated everyone's patience while we have been rescheduling summer classes during the unexpected emergency, but we also realized that it is time to start looking at fall classes.
Please email us if you are interested in classes this fall.

We have some good news while recovering from wrist surgery.
This little girl is arriving Thursday to help heal the soul and body.
We are trying on names right now, but sgw will be registered as Narvin's Serendipity.
We have traditionally only had boys and sge is a springer and not a setter, so she is set up to thrive on her own 4 feet.
There will be another setter in our world again, but this little girl is just what the doctor ordered.

My apologies to all my clients over the past week and my appreciation for patience during rescheduling. Barb is having surgery on Friday to repair her wrist. She will see clients as scheduled on Thursday (July 17) and will get everyone back to regular bookings as soon as possible.
