It's hard work being a little puppy!

Well, Alpha has been working hard at being cute as you can tell from her pictures! She loves to snuggle and loves to play with Starbuck and Nari (who happen to be her half-sisters).

Alpha loves snuggling with Starbuck and Nari: 

And here are some cute pictures we took of Alpha outside:

And then there were three....

That's right, we now have three AKK! We picked up little Alpha in CA mid-August. As you can see, Nari wasn't too sure of Alpha at first, but they all get along so well right now!

Here is a little video of Alpha barking and biting Starbuck and Nari:

Gem City UKC agility trial pictures

Here are even more pictures from the Gem City UKC agility trial we went to at the beginning of August. Here are the girls jumping:

And here are photos of both of the girls on the table:

I love how Nari ALWAYS has to look at the camera while still staying on course! She always amazes at how photogenic she is!

Nari and Starbuck had their first agility trial on August 1-2, 2009 and they did amazing well! Nari had 2 Q's with 2 first places and Starbuck got 3 Q's along with 1 first place and 2 second places. Pretty good for our first trial! Starbuck ended up getting her UAI title during that weekend and Nari is only 1 Q away from hers.

Here is a picture with all of their ribbons:

And here is a video of Nari's Q's (Aaron made it):

4th of July

It's such a hard life for these girls, just look at how they spent their fourth of July:

Agility!!

Starbuck and Nari love agility. They haven't done any trials yet, but our first one will hopefully be August 1st-2nd. In the meantime, here are some pictures Aaron took during practice in June.

Here is Starbuck running to the A-frame:

Here is Nari jumping through the tire (notice how she actually looks at the camera while in the air)
