I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas

You know the melody:

The sun is shining, the grass is green

the oak and maple trees sway

There's never been such a day

to run and frolic and play

But it's December twenty-third

and I am longing to be heard...

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

Just like the ones that others know

Where the treetops glisten

and Vizslas listen

to hear rabbits in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

While I'm tucked in bed each night

May your days be merry and bright

And may all your Christmases be white

The birds are chirping, the yard is mud

the temperatures are soaring

It's warm and now it's pouring

Playing inside is so boring

And it's December twenty-fourth

And I am longing to be up North...

 

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

Mother Nature please put on a show

For Vizslas at their best
to aid in their quest

to scent turkeys in hedgerows

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

One I anticipate with delight

May your days be merry and bright

And may all your Christmases be white

(In my head, I sing like Michael Bublé.)


Wishing Everyone All the Best of the Season! 

Merry Christmas!

Wednesday's Work

Practice Rally-O course with 15 stations way back when I was 10 months old.  We were still in the process of working out certain hand signals/verbal cues for some exercises (for example, the "moving down").

 One day last week, Mom set up a second jump to see what would happen.
Here I am being called over a jump grid for the very first time: 

Second time:

Mom was ecstatic that I instinctively knew to "bounce" in between the jumps!
