Beautiful horse! What?? No beagles on a fox hunt!

My problem with getting on a horse is lack of practice and old age. ;-)

[snippy_about_it]

The horses are beautiful and the dogs adorable.

[AnAmericanMother]

Thank you! Those are wonderful foxhounds - Black & Tans of Pennsylvania breeding. They were so sweet too - they hung around with the kids and the ponies and were as good as could be. They even found a fox and ran it a little ways, so we didn't have a "bluebird day", but lots of checks.

To business . . . I have an article in PDF with lots of pictures stripped into the file. If I send it to you in Email as an attachment, can you upload it as is? Thanks.

The place was crawling with beagles and Jack Russells - but they were all back at the clubhouse. The Master says he has enough to do dealing with the hounds without an accompanying phalanx of privately owned dogs!

I can believe that. It's got to be chaotic enough already.

[snippy_about_it]

Sure can. You have mail.

I don't even BRING my Labrador Retriever. She is a supremely silly young Chocolate, and the havoc she could wreak on a fox hunt gives me the jim-jams just thinking about it.

[SAMWolf]

AWWWWWWW! The Lab, everybodies friend.

I have a Black Lab/Elkhound mix and she's just the sweetest thing.

[AnAmericanMother]

Indeed a Lab is the Universal Friend. Here is my precious baby:

She is looking uncharacteristically noble and solemn. Put her on an agility course and watch her go nuts!

[SAMWolf]

She's beautiful!

Now imagine her with Norwegian Elkhound thick waterproof hair and that's my Shadow.

[AnAmericanMother]

Sounds neat! (Gotta picture?)

Shelley sends two barks and a wag to Shadow.

SHADOW

[SAMWolf]

Shadow barks a thanks. I see Snippy posted a picture.(She's the Keeper of the Pictures). Thanks Snippy

[Victoria Delsoul]

Wow! Great info Sam, thanks so much.

[AnAmericanMother]

AWWWWW, she's gorgeous! Thanks for posting the pic.

I think she has sort of a Border collie look about the eyes - you know, intelligent, alert, devoted, that sort of thing. :-D I hope she's more respectable than my Crazy Lab! (they keep telling me she'll calm down - she turns 3 on March 1.)

SAM's
SHADOW and KODI

[SAMWolf]

Shadow turned 12 on Jan. 1st. She's is such a laid back dog. Kodi our Retriever/Chow mix is the rambuctious one and totally dominates her.

[SAMWolf]

There's Kodi, the dog with the attitude problem, love him anyway though.

[AnAmericanMother]

I see she's giving Kodi the "Yes, sir" look. I still think she looks like a Border Collie. I adore BCs, of course our agility training center is chock full of them -- they absolutely rule agility. One of the trainers paid Shelley a high compliment when he said she was a Border Collie in a Lab suit . . .

This is more Shelley's speed . . .

The little Dachshund is thinking, "Call the exorcist! This dog is possessed!"
