14 & 15 June 2025 - "The Origin" race weekend - Naseby

 We headed to Arrowtown to stay with friends on Friday evening - Luca and Lola were a hit with them!

On Saturday morning we drove through to Naseby. Lola and Luca ran with Justin's 6 dog team again for the evening's racing. No photos/footage as was pretty much run in the dark.

Justin headed home after the racing on Saturday evening. So, on Sunday morning, I hooked Luca and Lola up to run in the two-dog scooter class. We had a ball. They ran really well and behaved perfectly when a couple of other teams passed us. We passed one of them back at one point and then ran alongside them for a while. Very happy with their first run on their own in a race situation. They came away placing 7th of 16 teams!!!

 A friend who is a photographer has been doing a challenge around pet photography. She asked if Luca and Lola would model for her for the "Double Trouble" challenge. So we head out to the beach early on a Saturday morning not knowing quite how it would go. They're definitely not perfect models (too impatient to stay still long enough!) but they managed to pose nicely for a few snaps. In the end, she used a different pair of dogs of her entry for that challenge, but I got some nice pictures.
