We had a great time at NCNE's water rescue demo at Mystic Seaport this weekend. The dogs were, in general, a bit rusty since we haven't really begun our water training season yet, but they were awesome none-the-less! Let's see, we had Keith/Parker, Dejah/Tipper, Molly/Nellie, Erin/Brenna, Kathy/Birdie, and Lori/Tally and the support of many more including Mark and Liz manning the boat. We caught a few pics to share.
| Lori and Tally. Look at that focus on the bumper! |
| "Get your own!!!" |
| Beej looking on. She was not only our extra newf holder but also was the photographer for all the shots (except this one of course!) |
| Erin did an awesome job working Brenna who was crazy fast after her bumper. The rest of the time was dedicated to texting some guy in Michigan. . . . ;-) |
| Molly and Lori taking a break before the next demo. |
| What a lovely place! |
| And Steve really knows how to engage a crowd. His narrating abilities were awesome. We had the kids helping to beach the boat and then throwing bumpers for the dogs at the end. |
| Dejah is getting Tipper to focus on that boater who looks like he's about to need some assistance. |
| And here Molly and Nellie are demonstrating the take-a-line exercise. |
| Birdie took the life ring out to save Erin. |
| And towed her back safely to shore. |
