Summer fun continues

Savi is our resident retriever, loves to retrieve whether on land or in the water.  We let her play with the Armadillo brand Quail toy that Jam won as a trophy for qualifying at the Tarheel Weimaraner Club Agility trial back in July.. Whar is amazing is that this salt marsh is right outside our house and at high tide becomes a  fabulous place for the dogs to swim.  At other times, the perfect place for a romp.

 Life is good when you have a view like this!
 Savi waiting for the throw...she's always ready for fun and games!
 Jam, practicing her whoa and sister, Savi, did an automatic back, very cool.
There must be critters in these holes...

Tuckered out



Savi, all tuckered out after our 3 hour hike/run in the Salt Marsh and then along the beach.  She ran, hunted, swam and retrieved - basically, had a blast.  She even dove into the Bay and swam after a Cormerand, thought she would swim to Boston and finally turned around and came back to us. Then, it was nap time in a comfy chair.  As they say, a tired Weim is a good Weim!

Summer fun on the Cape!

 On the road again...this time for our annual summer holiday on Cape Cod.  We call it our little slice of heaven and you can see why from these photos.
 The dogs love running in the salt marsh and we have amazing views from our rental house.
 Running along the beach at Pamet Harbor and viewing the boats.
 Trixie and Savi cooling off.  We've had spectacular weather - perfect beach day and cool evenings.
 Savi doing what she loves best, swimming and retrieving...until she find birds!
 Savi found the big prize...a dead seagull! Yuck but she retrieved it and dropped it on command.  Good girl!
Fisher Beach, just beautiful!

and a fabulous way to celebrate our 22nd wedding anniversary!

Salt Marsh Diving


Savi had no problem learning to swim and retrieve in the wonderful salt marshes of Cape Cod.  It's great training for her to be able to navigate different bodies of water and banks as well as learn how to do blind retrieves.  This salt marsh is part of Pamet Harbor in Truro, MA, a beautiful place.  The marsh is a natural habitat to Great Blue Herons, Cormorants and a myriad of other types of birds and wildlife.
