Denver Adventure

We road tripped it to Denver last weekend. Our goals were to take Boone to a bird dog training class AND to buy a dining room table. Since we needed to accomplish both, we had to take Will's single cab pick-up truck. Yes, all three of us! It was cozy to say the least. We drove down Friday night, stayed in a hotel and headed to Boone's class Saturday morning. Boone learned lots of new things and most importantly, Will and I learned all the things we were doing WRONG...oops. A lot of the puppies had been in the class since they were really young so Boone has a lot to learn but we were really proud.

He was really excited to find out where we were going...

He found a bird! (it was planted for him but still...)

Practicing his "point".

Another bird...if you look really close you can see it on the ground in front of him.

Got it!

Give it back, Will.

One of their German Shorthairs had just had puppies the day before and we got to meet them! They were so tiny and hadn't even opened their eyes yet. The mom, Ivy, wanted all of her puppies on that little carpet mat. If they squirmed off she went after them and rolled them back on...it was funny and only slightly alarming :) I'm sure they will be tough pups.

She was nice enough to let me hold one though!

Boone was worn out to say the least.

He slept the entire way home :) (it was a much nicer ride than on the way down!)

So after goal one was a success...we set off to accomplish goal two...a table. I found one on Craigslist that I liked and made arrangements to go see it in person. Will doubted me but it turned out to be even BETTER than I expected! It seats 6 but comes with a leaf and bench that can seat up to 8. I think we got a great deal and it is something we can have for a long time. I'm definitely proud of our purchase.

Loading it all up...can you say Klampets?

Isn't she a beauty!?! The bench is in the corner with the quilt over it.

Missions Accomplished!
