We had our last Saturday meeting at the Wyoming Antelope Club courtesy of owner/puppy raisers Lois and Bill Gagne. It was a bit like being in the middle of a popcorn machine while the popcorn is popping. Very noisy, but an excellent exposure for the dogs.

After AC Carolyn gave us a brief update on things, we got down to the obedience class. In addition to the constant report of guns in the background, our pups needed to do sits, stays, and downs.

Then, one by one, each pup would walk around the circle trying to get as close as possible to the other dogs without lunging.

| This is puppy Katy. It is not possible to convey how cute this goldadore is. She is a fuzzy ball of adorability. |

After obedience, we climbed an open staircase, went to look at several stuffed animal heads on the wall (the pups seemed not to notice the mounted, wild animals on the walls, which may have been a good thing) and wandered around for a bit.
All in all, it was a fun, loud and busy meeting!
