Easter 2012 Part 1: Death of the Easter Bunny


This post is a bunch of pictures taken on Easter Sunday out at Blazingstar, where Liz & Andy hosted a fantastic day of retriever training along with Easter goodies for the dogs and people, followed by a free-for all down at the river when it was done. A great day!  (unless you were the Easter Bunny)

Blazingstar Bunny...been carried by a few dogs over the years


Since Cedar is too young to participate we hung back out of the way and watched the 'big dogs' do their thing. The following are 'a few' pictures of the retrievers and their people at work: Liz Saunders (with Lupine, Cava, Tinbie and Puffin), Judy Hunt (with Roxy, Mazie and Kona), and Sarah Novak with Kaleb the Bunny Killer.

Puppy bumper for Cedar from Liz!
