We welcomed four families on Saturday morning and afternoon.  The first two families wanted to meet Chev, Finley and Xupe to experience Griffs firsthand and “test” their allergies in their presence.  The last two visitors of the day were puppies from the “B” litter (Walter and Griz, formerly Numbers Nine and Four respectively) who returned to work with birds in the field.  The puppy brothers looked so much alike and a lot like their daddy, Chev.  Busy day, fun day.

There was some extra drama involving the pigeons that were to be used for training.  Biff discovered eight mysteriously dead birds in the loft while the other 50 were flying, circling above the house and barn. Weasel? We don’t know for sure but suspect it.
