And on to Seattle - WA

I went to visit Solace Kennels. Solace have state-of-the-art facilities carefully designed to enable efficient and safe management of whelping bitches, developing puppies and growing dogs. My favourite subject was Asia - she is very photogenic! You can find her in the 3rd and 5th photos.

At the top of the page is the majestic Zeke - one of Solace's stud dogs. The second image is of a young smooth bitch - a lovely mover too.

Whilst there, Laura very kindly ferried me around to various pet shops so that I could stock up on dog toys not normally found in Australia. In fact, I stocked up on that many I had to pack them separately given the excess weight of my suitcase! I think it was well worth it though!!
