Newfie Fun Day in Maine!
I love this photo of newfie and bagpiper trying to figure out what they're looking at! That hat makes him look a little like a newf! Click on the title to the post for more photos! Thank you Anne!

With the hurricane gone and finally some nice weather, we were able to get out for some more water training this weekend. The site was beautiful and the dogs continue to work hard! Brenna's jump is simply amazing. She and Birdie worked on swimming in a civil fashion with each other (no crocodile rolls allowed!), Birdie is getting the hang of beaching that boat (finally!), Fiona was making great progress on her take a line, Abbey did some really enthusiastic retrieving, and Mr. Sammy made it to the water for the first time in a while and remembered all of his junior exercises and even took the life ring out. We're holding on to the last bits of summer for all we're worth!

Labor Day Mystic Seaport Demo
NCNE had their annual water rescue demo at Mystic Seaport this past weekend. The demonstrations covered three days of the holiday weekend and were very well attended! Here are some of the photos courtesy of Suzanne. Thank you Suzanne! You have an artistic eye! And thanks to all the organizers and especially Lori for inviting us. And thanks to our wonderful narrator, Donna, who tells the newfie story with style!
