The Gooch when he was 9 mos old

This was from when Gooch (Arion's D'Judge) was nine months old. I could not get this to download before...hope it works now.

We're Training Again

Batuque and I are back to working at the Atlanta Working Dog Club after a two year and too long break. Batuque is thrilled to be back to her favorite hobby and I live for the joy I see in her (and the others).

Last year was sad beyond bearing as I lost a best, long time human friend from a grotesque medical error and I lost my dear Rebel and Lucy, each just 3 months short of their 16th birthdays at the time of their passing. And I lost Olivia at only 14. I just couldn't bounce back from one jolt before another one hit.

But we're back.

Athar will soon be going as well but first I have to find a stronger crate for his deconstructionist efforts.



I've included a short video of Batuque's return to action on a hot Georgia summer night.
