<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">On our prior trips to the Outer Banks, we were able to visit three of the four lighthouses in the area: Hatteras, Ocracoke, and Bodie Island. This year, we wanted to see Currituck Lighthouse.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Below are some of our pictures from Currituck. Out of the four lighthouses, this and Hatteras Light Station are close favorites. I loved the Currituck Lighthouse and the area surrounding it. Well worth the trip to see it!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Jazz donned bunny ears today to spread a little Easter cheer at a pet therapy visit. Folks at the UPMC Passavant Cancer Center just loved her, and there were lots of cell phones snapping pictures of our little bunny.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">We always enjoy a day off work during the week when we can make a special pet therapy visit to the Cancer Center. Jazz, Sammie, and Blaze did a fabulous job today and brought smiles to the faces of patients, staff, and visitors. I am especially proud of Jazz for wearing those bunny ears for nearly two hours! She is a very special girl.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Jazz won a photo contest for the 2014 AAA PetBook, which will be published in May. We had an opportunity to preview the artwork for the book cover and were thrilled with how great it looks. AAA gave us a beautiful framed print of the cover artwork, along with a nice cash prize, a Best Western gift card, and a Petco gift card for Jazz.</span></div>

She introduced us to the sport of agility and opened a whole new world of fun and friends. She's helped us raise two puppies (Jazz and Indy) and has managed to maintain her silly demeanor. Tess is a wonderful, loyal companion, and we hope to celebrate many more birthdays with her!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Indy's favorite toy in the world is a rather beat up, semi-stuffed bunny.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">As in years past, we had requests to snap pics of the dogs before we could even sign in for our pet therapy duties! Everyone loved Tess, Jazz, and Indy in their Santa suits.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">If you couldn't tell from the photo above, here's a closeup of Tess wearing her Santa hat and beard! It was a big hit with the patients. For as stubborn as Tess can be, I have to hand it to the girl...she wore that hat and beard for nearly an hour and a half without any fuss at all!! I think she knew how much joy she was bringing the patients and staff in her holiday outfit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I'm proud of the Dals for the great therapy work they do all year round, but I'm always thrilled that we can bring smiles to the faces of patients who are in the hospital during the holiday season. We are truly blessed to have the companionship of these awesome dogs! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Found out yesterday that the photo above will be on the FRONT COVER of the 2014 AAA PetBook!! I submitted the photo in the fall of 2012 and was told that it was not accepted for publication in the 2013 edition but that the judges had set the photo aside for consideration for the front cover in 2014. Sure enough, I got a call from AAA yesterday that Jazz's photo was chosen for the cover of the book, which will be published around May of 2014!! Along with the honor of being on the book cover, Jazz also won some very nice prizes, too. I'm very excited to share a great photo from our Outer Banks vacation, as well as my beautiful brown cover girl!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Here's a little video of a new game Indy invented while playing frisbee in the snow today. Rather than the typical toss, fetch, and return, Indy decided that it was more fun to hike the frisbee through his back legs and then turn around and pounce on it. As you can see in the video, there were times when he got some pretty good distance! After the girls decided it was too cold to stay out in the snow, Indy entertained himself with his new game.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Not to be outdone by her baby brother, Jazz also did very well at the Keystone Canine Training Club Rally trial. She, too, placed in all her classes and earned her Rally Level 2 Championship and her ARCHX title!</span> </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Even though Jazz doesn't do the paw-up routine when she sits, she's still a cutie! We always get lots of comments about the "brown" Dalmatian.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I just love being in the ring with Jazz. She's so attentive and eager to please. She consistently does a great job and I just feel a special connection to her.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Jazz, too, had a nice weekend at AKC Obedience the weekend after the Rally trial. She was in Wildcard Open Obedience and got first place both days!! I was really pleased with her heeling and retrieves, and her drop on recall was really nice. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Indy had a great weekend at the Keystone Canine Training Club APDT/WCR Rally trial the first weekend of October.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">He had very nice scores, with placements in every class. He earned his Rally Level 2 Championship (RL2X) and also his APDT Rally Champion Excellent (ARCHX) title!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Here's Indy's now-famous new Rally exercise...the moving play bow! It is supposed to be a moving down, and that butt did eventually go down, but he gets quite a reaction from the crowd when he performs this exercise in true Indy style.</span></div>
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">This is another Indy signature move, the paw up on every sit. It's also a crowd favorite!</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">And, lest you think Indy goofs off through the whole Rally course, here he is heeling quite normally ;)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Indy followed his successes at APDT/WCR Rally with a nice weekend at AKC Rally and Obedience the following weekend. He earned his Rally Advanced title and got his first Rally Excellent leg the next day. He also had a first placement and second placement in Wildcard Novice Obedience. He did really well for a big, multi-ring trial. His second day of Wildcard Novice was a true test of his abilities. He had many distractions to deal with, including our friend's Dal in the next ring doing her dumbbell exercises and a Rally Pairs team in the ring on the other side who were running amok! I was really proud of him for holding it together through all of that, including his sit and down stays!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Indy's a great working dog and a lot of fun. He becomes a crowd favorite wherever he goes and lures people in with his boyish charm, both in the ring and out of the ring. I look forward to continuing his training and trialing with him some more.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Just getting around to posting about Indy's Obedience and Rally weekend at Westmoreland County Obedience Training Club.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Indy started his weekend by getting his first leg in Novice Obedience! He had a really nice run, with only one little bobble when he missed a sit on a halt because he was checking out a stink bug!! He had a fabulous recall and a nice, solid long sit and down. I was really proud of how well he did. The work we've been doing has obviously paid off.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Next, Indy competed in Rally Advanced B and did a great job with a score of 97 and fourth place. That was his second Rally Advanced leg. We're hoping to get the third one in mid October.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Since showing multiple dogs in multiple classes during a weekend is too much for my old brain to keep up with, I did one day with Indy and one day with Jazz at this trial. Unfortunately, Jazz didn't fare as well as Indy. She was in her first Open A Obedience class on Sunday, but she NQ'd on her heeling exercise. I'm not sure why, but halfway through the heeling pattern, she got intimidated and just kind of stood there for a while. Of course, the handler must continue in the heeling pattern and Jazz was not able to catch back up again. Despite that, she went on to complete all the remaining exercises beautifully! She had a wonderful drop on recall, which is a weak exercise for her, and she did her retrieving flawlessly. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">As I said, I'm not sure what caused Jazz to be distressed during the heeling pattern, but the rest of her run was good. Out of 19 dogs in the class, only 2 qualified. I was happy that Jazz did so well in all but one exercise in Open. She loves retrieving and I think we're going to have fun in this class in the future.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I'm a little behind in posting this, but Jazz and Indy both earned their Rally Level 3 titles at the B&D Creekside Activity Center APDT/WCR Rally trial on September 22! Both Dals will also receive an Award of Excellence for earning their title with scores of 190 and above.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">We're off to Keystone Canine's Rally trial next weekend, so we'll hopefully have more good news to report!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Today, five Dals from the Greater Pittsburgh Dalmatian Club took and passed their Temperament Tests! It was great to see such a nice showing of Dalmatians at the test, and we're very proud of the Dals who earned their TT:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">The Temperament Test evaluates the dog's behavior towards strangers, reaction to auditory stimuli, reaction to visual stimuli, reaction to tactile stimuli, and their reaction to a "weird" stranger who starts out non-threatening and then escalates to threatening and then aggressive.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">All these Dals did a great job on the test and we're very proud of the representation of GPDC and Dalmatians as a breed during this test!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">We celebrated Indy's 2nd birthday today. Of course, he doesn't know what an infamous day he was born on, but at least he gives us a reason to smile on an otherwise sad day in history.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I can't begin to tell you how much we enjoy this little guy. He has his Daddy Maks' sweetness and he's smart and eager to please. He loves everyone he meets and he makes friends wherever he goes. Although it was never our plan to have three Dals, I can't imagine our lives without Indy. The girls think he's the best toy we ever bought them...and Jim and I have a lot of fun with him, too! We wish him many more happy birthdays.</span></div>
