I ran the Labrador Retrievers on school blinds today. All 3 Labradors did rather well. No whistle blows on any of the dogs. Blu didn’t even break. For those of you who know Blu, I’m sure you just fell off of your chair reading this!
After we ran, we got out the mower and mowed 5 blind tracks for the dogs to run on tomorrow. I took these photos with my phone and it was overcast. Maybe I’ll be able to get some better photos with my phone tomorrow.
Have a good night folks and I’ll see you at the line soon!

The other day, Mickey and Noah were out in the field across from the house playing baseball as well as they could with 2 people.
I took Kimber out to air her and we went to watch the kids play. Noah pitched the ball and Kimber wanted to play. I wanted to help so I pitched and let the kids bat. Kimber sat next to me on the mound. If one of the kids missed the ball when trying to hit it, Kimber went to retriever the ball. She brought it back to me most times.

Mickey hit a ball out into the field and Kimber retrieved it, brought it to me and we held Mickey at second base. Noah was up to bat again. He finally hit the ball after missing it several times while Kimber retrieved it for me. When he hit the ball into the field, Kimber retrieved it and chased Noah around the bases. She missed tagging him by probably 4-6 inches near home plate.
Kimber
You and I know that Kimber didn’t know to tag Noah and she wasn’t even trying. She was just chasing him having a ball in doing so. However, she sure looked as if she knew what she was doing in trying to tag him. It was a sight to see. 
With Kimber helping me, we held the kids between 1st and 2nd base several times. Noah, Mickey and Kimber had a ball and I nearly rolled on the ground giggling and laughing watching this beautiful chocolate Labrador retriever playing baseball with the children. The children had just as much fun playing baseball with their beloved Labrador as they would have had playing with a whole team of people.
We played baseball with a yellow ball that was more like a Nerf ball, not a baseball but it was the size of a baseball.

The next time the kids play ball, I’ll have to take some photos so I can post them here for everyone to see. I’m sure we will have a game taking place on Saturday.
