Jazz's Birthday Party

Jazz had her first birthday celebration this afternoon at Misty Pines Dog Park. We were joined by friends and family, human and canine, for this happy event.

We played games with the dogs and enjoyed good food and good company. Friends came from as far as Ohio and New Jersey to attend the party. This is a photo of everyone playing doggie musical chairs.

Jazz was joined on her birthday by two of her liver brothers and her mom. Left to right, it's Jazz, brother Peet, mom Gia, and brother Patrick, who traveled with his family all the way from Cape May, NJ!

Here's Jazz getting ready to enjoy some of her yummy birthday cake.

There are definitely advantages to being the birthday girl, like being the first to have a piece of birthday cake!

Thanks to all our friends and family who came to celebrate Jazz's birthday with us. It was a very special day. Jazz is just in heaven with all the wonderful gifts she received...and Tess promises to help her play with all of them!!

Happy Birthday, Jazz!

We're celebrating Jazz's first birthday today! I wanted to post some "then and now" photos of our beautiful pup. A little later, Jazz is getting together with many of her canine friends, as well as a few of her littermates, for a birthday party. More photos to come!

Open Agility Jumpers

Tess and Jim traveled to Washingtonville, Ohio, today for an AKC agility trial. Tess received first place qualifying scores in both Open Standard and Open Jumpers with Weaves and earned her Open Agility Jumpers (OAJ) title. That's our girl!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving. You can bet that we count these two spotted girls among our Thanksgiving blessings!

Fall Beauties

Just wanted to post this recent fall portrait of Jazz and Tess. Another great photo from our friends Virgil and Rebecca at Paw Prints Pet Photography!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from Captain Tess and First Mate Jazz, the spottiest pirates to sail the seven seas!

Here are the pirates with their Halloween booty -- definitely more treats than tricks!

Splash 'n Dash Halloween Party

Last evening, Tess and Jazz attended the annual Halloween party at our training club, Splash 'n Dash K9 Sports. They won the doggie costume contest, but you're all going to have to wait until Halloween to see photos of the girls in their Halloween costumes!
