Here is my 74' Chalet hard sided popup trailer. I am in the process of getting her ready for the road for the upcoming season. Everything in the trailer works; fridge (three way), stove and heater. But, I am a chicken and don't use the stove up top because of the fumes. I am the third owner; the first two owners took her up and down the Pacific Coast from Washington to Baja. I have taken her all over the state for my fishing and hunting excursions. It has served as my dog house on occasions, the kid's play house and when a guest gets too drunk; a nice crash pad. Sometimes I like to have a quiet drink and read in it. Because of the good insulation; I have used it most of the year - I put a space heater in it (electrical) and it keeps me toasted warm.

While letting the Allie, my GSP air out. A robin flew into the yard and perched on the chain link fence. Allie saw it and ran over and locked on point about thirty feet away. I told her "whoa" once and by her body demeaner, it is obvious that she was getting the idea of whoa. She held the point long enough to get a few photos of her and stayed locked up until I released her. I think she may be more than ready for the upcoming upland season.

Now, Allie is getting the whoa down better. She will hold steady for quite awhile. Here she is pointing a planted birds in my yard.

Tamales

Although to make tamales it is labor intensive, the results are well worth the time put in. I make traditional tamales and other types of fillings, too. The tamales in the steamer front are typical pork/red chile tamales, at the rear are butternut squash/green chile tamales that are amazingly good. The freezer are some turnip green/cheese/green chile tamales that are just as good.

Tacoma, Labrador Retriever

Tacoma has been a pleasure to have. He has such a great manner to him. He has learnt well his commands; I have taught him to "Come", "Sit", informal "Heel". I got him retrieving a bumper but since he is still a pup, he wants to play some. At home he is well socialized and I can take him anywhere. He was lightly introduced to water and he should have no problems with it. As for birds, he loves picking them up. For a puppy, Tacoma has done a great job. In a couple of weeks, he will have to go home but maybe I can work with him some more in the future.

Allie is coming along rather well. Here she is pointing a wing on the string. She has pointed planted birds, too - but, it is rather hard trying to take a photo while steadying her. And, it looks like she is ready to go into heat.
