Isla Waiting For A Command
Hey Don,
Was out in the woods with Isla this morning. Here’s a photo of Isla waiting for the next command (she has great focus… most times… HA!). She’s coming along really nicely. Looks like 57lbs (maybe 58lbs) will be her working weight. You’ve bred a natural athlete Don. Her morning routine includes 15 minutes of obedience training, 5 minutes of whistle training, 5 minutes of “hold” and “fetch” training, and around twenty or so 420 foot retrieves (round trip) back to hand, at full speed (she really loves to retrieve), followed by a gentle paced 4km walk where we work on tightening up the “heel”, “sit”, “recall”, etc.. This little girl was born to work that’s for sure and is at her best when she’s been worked. Great in the house too (with the occasional foolishness here and there, but no big deal). When we’re back in the vehicle to come home for breakfast, she’s not even panting. Yikes! I’ve had to get in shape just to keep up.
Of the many things I’m thankful for on Thanksgiving weekend, I’m sure thankful for Isla. She’s a ton of fun!

Labrador Art
Hi Don, things are well here on the Cape. I was sitting this morning having a cup of tea and the sun was poking through the clouds and what did I see again on my window but the most beautiful "Art".. Its called " Labrador Nose Art". Lol..
This is Gems favorite place to be while in the house. I didn't realized that I brought home a Labra-Cat.. heehee. Any how I hope things r well in u r neck of the woods.
Oh, and u can see miss Rye doesn't take part in Gems window "Art", she thinks shes a strange dog...
Take care,
Tailwags~~~~

Serious Dog Illness in Norway
From the Canadian Kennel Club
"On September 17, CKC advised members of a serious dog illness in Norway. In response, the Norwegian Kennel Club (NKK) Board cancelled all dog shows and decided they would not send national teams to FCI Championships until further notice, pending a change in recommendations by the Norwegian Food Safety Authority.
An investigation by the Norwegian Veterinary Institute (NVI) and the Norwegian Food Safety Authority (NFSA) has concluded that the number of diseased dogs is declining, and not all cases of illness are linked. Following the investigation, the NKK has decided to reverse its decision to cancel all shows and will send national teams to the FCI Championships.
More information about the decision can be found on NKK’s website.
CKC urges any members that are traveling within Norway to continue to follow the recommendations of the Norwegian Food Safety Authority, to minimize the risk of exposure."
