Come on man. Give me that treat. It wasn't me who ate your new shoes. I think it was the cat. You know how you can't trust 'em. Or, maybe it was Ralph. You understand he has more beagle in him and I don't have to remind you what that means.
My sister's dog Trapper obeying commands. He received his Schutzhund 2 Title.
Schutzhund (German for protection dog) is a dog sport that was developed in Germany in the early 1900s as a breed suitability test for the German Shepherd Dog. The test would determine if the dog displayed the appropriate traits and characteristics of a proper working German Shepherd Dog. Today, it is used as a sport where many breeds other than German Shepherd Dogs can compete, but it is a demanding test for any dog and few are able to pass successfully.
We took a trip up the family farm today. Not that we need an excuse to venture north, but the purpose of this trip was a family reunion for my wife's massive family. At times I think they are realted to every single person to ever set foot in the county. Any way, it is not a true family trip in my family if at least one hound is not included. This trip old Trapper made the ride. He really enjoyed splashing about in the pond and playing with the young cousins. I think the farm is good for our four legged family members, too.

"Sault Ste. Marie (/ˈsuː seɪnt məˈriː/ SOO-seint-ma-REE) is a city on the St. Marys River in Ontario, Canada, close to the Canada–US border. It is the seat of the Algoma District and the third largest city in Northern Ontario, after Sudbury and Thunder Bay.
The Ojibwe, the indigenous Anishinaabe inhabitants of the area, call this area Baawitigong, meaning "place of the rapids." They used this as a regional meeting place during whitefish season in the St. Mary's Rapids. (The anglicized form of this name, Bawating, is used in institutional and geographic names in the area.)
To the south, across the river, is the United States and the Michigan city of the same name. These two communities were one city until a new treaty after the War of 1812 established the border between Canada and the United States in this area at the St. Mary's River. In the 21st century, the two cities are joined by the International Bridge, which connects Interstate 75 on the Michigan side, and Huron Street (and former Ontario Secondary Highway 550B) on the Ontario side. Shipping traffic in the Great Lakes system bypasses the Saint Mary's Rapids via the American Soo Locks, the world's busiest canal in terms of tonnage that passes through it, while smaller recreational and tour boats use the Canadian Sault Ste. Marie Canal.
French colonists referred to the rapids on the river as Les Saults de Ste. Marie and the village name was derived from that. The rapids and cascades of the St. Mary's River descend more than 6 m (20 ft) from the level of Lake Superior to the level of the lower lakes. Hundreds of years ago, this slowed shipping traffic, requiring an overland portage of boats and cargo from one lake to the other. The entire name translates to "Saint Mary's Rapids" or "Saint Mary's Falls". The word sault is pronounced [so] in French, and /suː/ in the English pronunciation of the city name. Residents of the city are called Saultites.
Sault Ste. Marie is bordered to the east by the Rankin and Garden River First Nation reserves, and to the west by Prince Township. To the north, the city is bordered by an unincorporated portion of Algoma District, which includes the local services boards of Aweres, Batchawana Bay, Goulais and District, Peace Tree and Searchmont. The city's census agglomeration, including the townships of Laird, Prince and Macdonald, Meredith and Aberdeen Additional and the First Nations reserves of Garden River and Rankin, had a total population of 79,800 in 2011.
Native American settlements, mostly of Ojibwe-speaking peoples, existed here for more than 500 years. In the late 17th century, French Jesuit missionaries established a mission at the First Nations village. This was followed by development of a fur trading post and larger settlement, as traders, trappers and Native Americans were attracted to the community. It was considered one community and part of Canada until after the War of 1812 and settlement of the border between Canada and the US at the Ste. Mary's River. At that time, the US prohibited British traders from any longer operating in its territory, and the areas separated by the river began to develop as two communities, both named Sault Ste. Marie." - info from Wikipedia.

I am seen here with the only person we met on our hike of a Trapper Peak. Given his occupation I guess Jeff will have been somewhat busy these last few weeks. Working for the forestry service as a fireman can be an intense role in Montana.
A couple of weeks ago, Joan and I went to the Gordon Setter 2010 National Specialty in Greeley, CO. While there we linked up with Bill Stauder who is the breeder of our dog, Riley. Here, Riley's brother, Trapper, gives Bill some love. If you're interested, you can view all 429 (!) of my photo's from the show here

Trapper Peak is a mountain I have climbed on a couple of occasions. This view which was taken from the summit looks west across into Idaho and was taken ion my first ascent. The summit of Trapper at 10,157 is the high point in Montana of the Bitterroot Mountains. It's ascent route is varied and traverses a mix of terrain through forest, bypassing three lakes, some good scrambling and finally a high plateau just short of the summit ridge.
I had hiked with my pal Mike who stopped just short of the summit to look after Meggie his golden retriever. The terrain had become a little too awkward for her. For that a reason I was on my own on the summit and unable to add anyone to provide some scale to the scene. The ascent from the trailhead offered just under 4,000 of vertical gain.
I am happy to post my fifth shot of Trapper.
This lovely cat came in to my life while I was out birding on January 02, 2010. It was a very cold day. I drove up a dead end road bordering Elk Island National Park. At that point there is a rough trail leading to Trapper Lake. At the end of the road, I found this emaciated, filthy, and near dead cat at the bottom of a snow bank mewing pathetically.
I took her home and named her "Trapper" after the lake I found her near. She has turned out to be very friendly and affectionate. The vet thinks she is between 10 and 14 years old. Whatever her age, she is a fatter, furrier, and a much healthier cat now and is a good thing to come home to. She is a totally indoor cat and has never shown any interest in going outside.
At 10,157 feet Trapper Peak stands as the Montanan highpoint of the Bitterroot Mountains. I have travelled a good deal to Montana, a state that is chock full of stupendous mountains that just beg to be climbed, so far though Trapper Peak is the only sizeable one that I have returned to. So in a sense it is probably my favourite big hill within striking distance of Missoula.

This original log cabin was the first authorized post office in Mason County. It was originally a combination home and post office and was built as early as 1850. William Quevillon (Ku-vee-aw), who first came to this area as a trapper, built this cabin on one of his hunting trips. In 1852 Quevillon brought his wife and their four children on a horse drawn scow, along the beach from Grand Haven to this log cabin.
Quevillon was appointed postmaster in 1855 and served in that capacity for 18 years. Postage on a letter from Grand Haven to Fairview (located just south of here in those days) was 50 cents and mail was delivered four times a year!
This cabin was moved intact (minus the fireplace) to White Pine Village in 1968. The fireplace was rebuilt, using all local fieldstones.
