Heronsway Let's Have A Ball RN AX AXJ AXP MJP OF

I want to introduce the other canine family members....Lucy and Ricky. Yes, as you can tell there is a theme to their call names. Lucy is the first dog I have owned and trained...my goal with her was to try to compete in agility but most of all to have fun. I chose her registered name because she is a red head and I loved Lucille Ball! So Lucy is also known as Heronsway Let's Have A Ball. Lucy is approaching her 9th birthday in a few weeks which seems very hard to believe. I am happy that she continues to be the spirited girl that I brought home as a pup. She has been a challenging dog to train as my first dog but I have loved every part of it. She LOVES to work, to go to classes, to go anywhere with me, to compete in agility and try our hand in rally. She is a great teammate and I hope we have many more years of running around an agility course together.

Stayed tuned for Ricky's debut!

Front Door/Back Door Meme for February

OK, that C-Lee thinks that she is really going to get me into this blogging stuff. She has tagged me with this photo meme. This is the view out my front door. I love the two evergreens down by the road. They offer great cover for all the birds flying back and forth to the feeders on the left side of the house. There is not too much visible on all the other shrubs from this distance, but up close you can see all the buds that promise color for the spring and summer.

Out my back door we see lots of snow. It is packed close to two feet deep in places where we

have snowshoed trails all around the yard. I love

the gate in back by the shed that leads off into the woods and many trails and ponds. We use those trails more often in winter when the ticks are not so numerous. From the photo you would not know that the birds are singing their Spring

mating calls and that the red-winged blackbirds

have returned already. In the shed is stashed

all the agility equipment. But before we can fill the yard with our obstacles we have to wait for many warmer days for much melting to occur. What I don't like about our yard is a lot of shade and we sometimes have the last patches of snow in Eastern Mass. Then will come the mud.

Here are the rules: This is a photography meme

1. Step out your front door and take a picture.

2. Step out your back door and take a pictute.

3. Put them on your blog along with the rules.

4. If there are things in the photo that you particularly like or dislike, you can point them out

or just explain what you are seeing.

5. Tag another person.

6. Do it again next month if you like.

Wherever you live you see something different than the rest of us.

God Bless America

Today I am proud to be an American and thankful that I was born in a democratic nation.
