Hungarian Gold!

It's hard to believe that 4 years ago we were anticipating bringing home our first Vizsla pup and struggling to find the right name for him. We searched Hungarian websites for names and word translations, but nothing came together until we were watching the Olympics and heard that the water polo team was Hungary's national sport! And they took the gold medal in Athens. So that's how our 'Polo' got his name: Ch. Tivoliz Cpr Crk Hungarian Gold.

Polo sends "Congrats" to his native countrymen for winning their third straight gold medal in water polo at the Olympics!! And to the U.S. for getting the silver!
Polo trying out his water polo skills at the lake this weekend.

It's Summertime!

Which means it's swimtime!

We're in the summer routine now that it's in the 90s most days. So Saturday mornings we go swimming at the lake.

Rudy races out to retrieve a thrown stick, and then shares a chew with Polo.

With all the practice swimming, we might have to try surfing:

Hey, where's my plate?

Welcome to the world!

Rudy's Mom, Siren, brought 3 new puppies into the world. Check out how adorable they are ...

Congrats to Q!

Rudy's sister 'Q' won the Vizsla Club of Northern California's 2008 Hunter's Gun Dog!! Awesome, baby!!

Weekend Fun - Day 2

Day 2 started out slow, since the weather was a little cool and overcast (everyone was still tired from Day 1!). But we soon headed out to Dupont State Forest to check out the waterfalls.

Polo was so excited to go swimming!! Rudy dove in to retrieve a stick, then found out the water was kind of chilly! But still enjoyed retrieving it again.

Weekend Fun - Day 1

We took off to the mountains of North Carolina for a long weekend away. Had a beautiful day for hiking in the Pisgah National Forest where the trees were just starting to get leaves. The boys had a great time pulling us along on the trails, over creeks and streams ... then up, up, up to the top of the rock face to some incredible views.












Back at the parking lot we could see where we had just climbed to - WOW!

A good hike makes for some sleepy Vizslas!
