And speaking of the Bumstead kids ...

... (so glad to hear of Tootsie's puppy-mentoring, Beazley's (mis) adventures, and Cora/Cookies wonderful update!)

Gracie (fka Daisy Bumstead) and I had a terrific adventure of our own last week. We flew all the way to Scranton, PA and attended the Poconos Earthdog Cluster! We were hoping that Amy and Rocky would join us, but maybe next year.

Gracie was the perfect little traveler, not a peep out of her Sherpa, but we cheated and RAN thru the Atlanta Airport to get from Concourse A to Concourse D because the people mover wasn't operating! She was very good in the hotel, (she got to sleep on Mom's pillow, she's not even allowed upstairs at home because of the kitties) and got see her very first bunny.

She was a little superstar at the training day, was crazy for the rats in their cage and loved the attention (the ONLY Cairn among 50+ Westies, almost as many Border Terriers, lots of Scotties and Dachshunds and a number of Norwich, Norflok and even a Glen of Imaal Terrier). No problem with the tunnel (maybe her agility training?), but was a bit leary of the rats while she was in the tunnel. Of course, whe was one of the youngest attendees - both judges said she was a natural and showed great promise! We had a ball, the humans were great, and I'm considering bringing both Grace and Henry to the Maryland trial in September.

If you can, give Earthdog a try!

p.s. the Bumstead kids turn 11 months old this Sunday! They all say hi and thanks to Foster Mom and Dad in Arkansas!
