Weekend Fun with Alee!

2 weekends ago we took Alee to her first puppy socialization class!  She did well in the car and COMPLETELY worse herself out by playing with Jasper the 4 month old Boxer!  Afterwards Ed and I got lunch at a deli and sat outside while Alee people watched.

This past weekend was  fun filled and certainly exhausting for Alee!  Klamath Falls held a "Be Kind to Animals" Dog Festival this weekend as a chance to celebrate dogs.  There was a "show ring" (just for fun) and competitions like "cutest couple" and a "confidence builder agility course." Alee got to meet lots of new dogs, put her paw print on a certificate, try out some home made chicken cookies and try out the agility course.  The little boxer she met the weekend before at the puppy socialization class was also there, so they got to play again!  They even got on the news for playing together!  Alee did so well and loved the agility course so much we have definitely decided to start her in agility training once she's old enough (about 12-18 months).

After the dog festival, the 3 of us went to Moore Mountain to help the Linkville Lopers running club set up for the Moore Mnt Half Marathon the following Sunday.  We hiked up a hill to see the area where Ed and I will be manning an aid station and helped put markings on the ground to direct runners.  Alee was EXHAUSTED from hiking up that hill - she kept trying to sit in the shade instead of walking with us. 

Sunday morning we worked the aid station and handed out water, gatorade and gels to the runners - they all seemed to have a great time and really enjoy the views.  Of course Alee was a huge help in motivation!  She really enjoyed collecting all the sticks around the site.

 A little blury - but here's Alee collecting her sticks...

Trying now to figure out how to chew on it

Just a beautiful shot of our girl

All in all we had a great weekend and are looking forward to this week where we get to move into our new house!  We're still renting, but this house has geothermal heat and some really awesome neighbors/land lords.  PLUS there's a yard for Alee!
