It’s been a busy weekend here. Friday night I played with the community band as the warm up act at a local park.
Playing in the park.
The main act was “The Magic Bus,” a group of guys playing 60’s and 70’s music.
Member of the Bus.
We stayed and listened to them play…
Dancing to memories.
…and watched the happy dancers of our generation feeling the beat once again.

Saturday Katie’s Aunt B and I took Katie to doggie school where she got to practice heeling and jumping and circling and such.
Exercise over!
There’s another sheltie in class now and they seem to like each other pretty much. As much as shelties like any other dog I guess.
Toby and Katie
Saturday afternoon we got Katie’s agility stuff out and she ran and jumped some more.
Heading for the tunnel!
She doesn’t like teeter, but the rest was pure fun.
Jump!
Sunday morning we went to the farmer’s market, Katie tagged along and she got lots of petting.
Walking at the park!
Then we went to her favorite park and had even more fun!
Sharing the park with my Aunt B!
But Sunday night Aunt B found a tick on Katie! OH NO! This is her first tick ever! So now we know we have to be vigilant. Katie was so good, sitting still while her Aunt and her Dad put alcohol on the tick and pulled it off.
She’s such a good girl. She wants to know what we’re going to do for fun today!
Sunday husband, sister and I went to visit husband’s Aunt V. She probably deserves her own blog post…so I’ll write that one later.

Last night there were two free “Music in the Park” bands. It was great music!
I love the photos of your sheltie – very cute!

Fun times! Looks like you had fantastic weather too – sunny and not too hot.
Ticks are gross, you’re lucky that this is the first one ever.

I bet Katie is as happy as you as long as there are activities she can be involved in. Look at her smiling face, she just can’t stop smiling. What a happy girl!
Hugs to Aunt V!

that was a busy weekend – something we found that is really good – the tick key – they sell them on amazon – makes removing the evil things so easy!

A tick? Yikes, that’s one of my fears, considering Dallas’s thick coat! I keep monthly medicine on him for just that reason. I know, it’s probably not real good to dose them with chemicals every month, but how did you ever even FIND a tick in her furs??

She probably got it when we walked through some tall grass at the park. It was near her ear, so the fur wasn’t bad.
