CCI 2011 Graduate Seminar in Santa Rosa

 
Renelle playing in the Dog Park at CCI with all her relatives. She has so much fun!  The minute we pulled in to CCI she knew she was home and when she saw all the dogs in the park she was whining and whimpering (so unprofessional!  LOL!).  Took her out there and she was much better....until lunch.
  


 Ahhh!  Other HD's just like me!

  
Lauren Rigel giving the instruction of the day.
Ken Reid HD instructor (Renelle was happy to see him again) with the Head Trainer.


 Lunch with some members of the Gold Rush Champions (Sacramento Chapter) and (Left photo) Corey, CCI President, (Right Photo) Kathy Zastrow NW Board Member.


 We tried to go to a instructional meeting during lunch but Renelle would have none of it....she did some more whining and whimpering, so to the play yard we went....She doesn't play with her family often, so it was easy to indulge her.

 Exhausted after running and playing so hard at lunch and ready to listen to Ken.





Rally at the Sacramento Federal Building on 10.13.11







We left the girls at home and we went for about an hour.

Peace!

Show n' Shine & Fly in

 

The Gold Rush Chapter of CCI had a information booth and The Show n Shine and Fly and Renelle and I joined other members of the chapter talking to people about CCI and being a volunteer puppy raiser, breeder caretaker and the impact these volunteers have for us Graduates.  There was such a variety of people from people who was interested in possibly volunteering and wanting more information about applying for a dog and what they can do to help them.  It was fun being with other CCI people and Renelle enjoyed all the attention and time with other CCI dogs.

 Godzilla size garage.

 Black hawk helicopter...very cool!

View of the festival in the early morning   This is typical of the neighbor hood's street

 and this is why!

The planes land on the airstrip and taxi around the neighbor to park in their garages.
  Seriously!  It is crazy, yet sooo cool!

This car reminds me of MASH









This is a view of the festival from the other end of the street.

Monster Godzilla garage.

Puppies just love cuddling up to Renelle.

Who said working dogs never play and rest?!







The Pups in training were having fun with all the kids!




Some of the planes did fly by's

 Renelle the graduate surrounded by pups in training.


One exhausted Renelle.
Renelle was so exhausted that she fell asleep in the car on the way home.  She was quite happy to return home for dinner and a long over due nap...so was I! 

Peace!
