Sunset over the field down the road from our new home in Pennsylvania. Our first sunset here.

The Basenjis love their new home already. First day. Taffy on the screened porch watching Cantata exploring the yard. Near Hanover, PA.

Yesterday I registered to vote. PA is a battleground state...my vote will actually count this year!...................................CHRIS MAXKA

Hannah says "Maybe he is a water dog!" "Let's go out where it's deeper"

I have a feeling I'll be carrying Obike back across some sand bars as tide is coming in...

But, maybe if Hannah does it, Obike will, too. That's it. Hannah just went deeper & Obike followed her out. He did get a little anxious when she stayed there & didn't follow me & Obike back to the "safety" of the sand bar.

I better not let Obike watch Hannah swim. He'll think she's lost her mind! he he he... Poor pup doesn't understand that we actually like being in the water ♡♡♡.......NATALIE CULVER

Gilda says the iguanas did it. Yathink she's educating herself?

Susan Marsicano - But actually Fern says, "whatever keeps her busy."

Karla Schreiber - Rut-roh! Ka-ching goes the AKC'S duplicate certificate cash register! Grin!

Susan Marsicano - I guess I could call them, and make them laugh.

Karla Schreiber - Having had this happen more than once, I'm starting to suspect AKC is printing title certificates on liver-scented paper... ;)

Susan Marsicano - Karla - she had lots of choices, so you may be right.

Karla Schreiber - My UKC and IABCA certificates never seem to be targeted.... just saying!

Susan Marsicano - I spoke with AKC's agility department, and she laughed all the way through our conversation. Is sending a new one, gratis.

Erin Fogarty - Didn't she know basenji certificates have to be double-laminated! ;)

Susan Marsicano Karla - I told her what you said, and through giggles, she said you had figured it out.

Karla Schreiber - Their secret is no longer safe!! ;)
Susan Marsicano - Is what she said.

Susan Marsicano - Tamara - she unstuffed your Nic pillow this afternoon. Pillow case is in tact. Just stuffing all over the place. She is a teenager on a tear.

Tamara Allen - Damn - she found that piece of kibble I hid in there ....

Donna Hess - Sunny says my sister would not do that.

Joanne Callahan - She's a smart cookie, pin it on the iguanas!

Nancy Chando - Oh no! Gilda is such a good girl, it must have been the iguanas!

Malley Heinlein - Haha, trying to read and got too excited?

Sheila Webber - Oops

Gilda busy eating AKC correspondence again. She is sure they use liver scented paper.

Lisa Stewart - This is why mine go straight into document protectors in a 3 ring binder.

Laura Gold - Maybe it's jealousy? You'll get there one day Gilda, I have no doubt

Susan Marsicano - The mailman dumped my mail on the porch, while I was upstairs doing a Versatility certificate for BCOA. So, he dropped a lot of stuff for her to work on. She "ate" most of Fern's Invitational invite, and was working on Scarlet's new OAJ title certificate. Everything else not touched.

Debby Mayer - That dawg . . .

Nancy Chando - Oh no not again! That paper must be scented!

Sharon Buehler - I can bring you some dog food to class tomorrow if poor Gilda is starving!

Karla Schreiber - I swear that liver scented thing is true........

Jody Arseneault - I do love Gilda!!

Andrea Stone - She's a rebel!

Hermine Stover - Obvious that the beast reads.

Susan Marsicano - Steve Herwig at AKC said it happens more than I'd think & he'll print a new one.

Donna Hess - hmmmmm, must be like the mysterious creature here that made the bay leaves I was drying disappear!!!

Carol Mount - Congrats but LOL to Gilda being a basenji :)

Annechien Smith - ! My very first dog did the same to his official Kennel Club registration card and left the rest of the post that day. I reckon the handlers of the card and your invite had doggy treat smell on their hands!
