What We did This Summer

We can't believe that summer is almost over

But we can feel it in the air

the nights are cooler and soon the days will be too

Mom & Dad both retired this year 

and it has been great to have them home with us 

all the time

I taught Dad how to take an afternoon nap!

While Hazel & I did not go on any vacation trips

we did get some visitors to the PugRanch

Baby robins hatched in the tree by our front gate

I got to meet one of the babies up close and personal

And I like to think I helped him learn how to fly

We have had several of these funny looking dudes

This big hawk likes to hang around the farm field 

that is just near our house 

but this day he was on our fence!

Usually he is on top of the power pole 

and screeches real loud

Hazel & I spent a lot of time hanging out 

We grew a garden this year. 

So far we have harvested cucumbers, zucchini 

and the most deliciously sweet cherry tomatoes.  

We also have carrots, banana squash

 and spaghetti squash to enjoy soon

Mom has been making lots of zucchini bread - YUM!

Hazel and I had fun at an Obedience/Rally Trial in August

Hazel got to participate in the team competition

I finished my Beginner Novice Obedience Title 

and did Rally too

The really fun thing I have done this summer is Agility Class

Every Monday night we go to class

 and I have been learning a lot 

I have some obstacles at home to practice on

A really nice lady gave us a full size teeter and our instructor let us borrow a big tunnel

Here is a video of us practicing. 
I used to be scared of the teeter but having one at home to practice on has made all the difference in my confidence. 

So that has been our summer
Now that the weather is cooling down
 we may get to go on some day trips scouting out nice places to go camping next year.
