Happy 1st Birthday, Claire!

Today is Claire's first birthday, but unfortunately we can't spoil her with treats and toys today.  She's away at a field training camp right now.  It was terribly difficult for me to drop her off at camp this past Saturday.  She really has brought so much joy to our family over the past 7+ months.  I was told by Claire's trainer that she celebrated with a nice run and a quail today, so it's comforting to know that she had a good day doing what she was bred to do.  Still looking forward to having a belated birthday and welcome home celebration for Claire when she returns in a few weeks though.
