It’s the attitude!

An elderly couple walked into the lobby of the Mayo Clinic for a checkup and spotted a piano. They’ve been married for 62 years and he’ll be 90 this year. Check out this impromptu performance. We are only as old as we feel, it’s all attitude. Enjoy! They certainly do!

I have a small brag to share.

Stewie (Can. Ch. TillaRox Victory is Mine) and I went down to Calgary for four days of shows at the Alberta Kennel Club Summer Classic.  We had a wonderful weekend winning the breed all 4 days – although today was a bit tight the judge was 45 minutes ahead of schedule and we just about missed the ring – it was a mad rush to get clips out, armband on, shoes changed, dog brushed and in the ring all in a matter of what felt like a few seconds all the while my heart felt like it was going to stop in my chest.  But the icing on the cake was Sunday – we managed to snag a small piece of the group by placing 4th – it was a wonderful placement as it was his first group placement with me showing him and his first in a very tough group 6 – there are some really nice dogs out this way to duke it out against.  This boy is a joy to show – you can’t tell there is anything on the end of the lead as he moves with such ease – he even makes me and my not so short legs run to keep up with him – he just hits the end of the lead and wants to keep going smooth as silk not a bounce or jolt to him he just “flows” as Shirley said on the weekend.

I have to say though I am glad the weekend is done – it was humid (it’s never humid here) and nothing ever felt dry especially my suit jackets when I went to put them on – and hot and just plain gross – I’m a big fan of hot and dry this hot and wet stuff can go somewhere else.

I’m attaching his group photo.  I also have some shots of him moving just have to get my camera back I managed to forget it in the boyfriends car so those will wait until later but from what I could see on the little screen he has some definite reach and drive happening…

After the disappointment of Sunday it was nice to come home to this on Monday.  😉

Yes, Saturday’s QQ counted, she only needs 1 QQ for her MACH.  We have a trial this coming weekend at her favorite place, so maybe – if my nerves don’t get the better of me 😉 and then the next one is St Croix Valley….

Videos of QQ #19 runs up on my blog

Note from Debby: There’s also a nice blog entry with a link explaining MACH. Josie will be the first Champion Lhasa Apso to earn a MACH title; the second Lhasa Apso ever.

Coyotes

From Kathy:

Hi Deb,
I am wondering if you have any type of info that you could print in the blog regarding coyotes. Don’t know if you caught the local channel 9 story on the pack of coyotes living around a Lakewood school. This is also adjacent to St. Jude Catholic Church and many folks walk their dogs in that area and around the near by lake and park. We have coyotes living in our own neighborhood.

thanks!
Kathy

Here’s the local story Kathy mentioned. And here’s a good article with tips on keeping your pets safe from coyotes.
Has anyone out there had a close encounter of the coyote kind?

Kathy wondered…

Is anybody growing the Dog Rose:  Rosa Canina?
