Backyard Time

Here's Trooper playing in the garden last night.  Such a goofball. 

It's become almost a nightly routine to take the dogs out back and run 'em with retrieving exercises.  It takes the edge off the day's hyper state, relaxes them for the evening, and gives them some exercise.  Here are the two beauties demonstrating 'sit' for me yesterday evening.  Trust me, it is a miracle to keep Trooper still after I've lost eye contact with him (by taking a photo).  As soon as eye contact is lost, he goes bonkers.  I'm still training him; he's got a long way to go.
