Trick (my mind) or Treat (funny dogs)…

imgp1981.jpg

Okay. So it’s a little more than a week late. It wasn’t like I didn’t try. I wrote myself a note in my daytimer. I’ve kept todo lists for years. I’ve used sticky notes, attached here and there, for years. Now, it seems, that’s not enough. I read the note the morning of October 31st..and then couldn’t remember what exactly I was going to post. Off all the things I’ve lost, I miss my mind the most!

The dogs belong to Kathy and Joe. From left to right, Tessa, Pete and…oh my gosh! Let me repeat. Off all the things I’ve lost, I miss my mind the most! Kathy, do forgive me and share the name of The Lady in Green.

Photos from the National…

Vickie loves this photo of Josie and Melissa. And, so do I. Notice both Josie and the Foodog are in the same pose! I’ve spent the past several days compiling photos, sent to me by various people, from National Specialty week. In about a half hour, I’m out the door for a quick road trip to meet up with Julie in Lincoln, Nebraska, collect several dogs including Edie Bedie, dog talk and celebrate Fernando’s accomplishments. In the meantime, enjoy these photos.


Fernando wins!!

Fernando was awarded Best of Breed at the first special, National Specialty week!! He beat close to 40 other champions, many Best in Show winners. Friday, at the National Specialty, he was awarded Best of Opposite, again beating Best in Show dogs, including last year’s National Specialty winner. What an honor for such a young dog! I see a great future for Fernando!


Keep on runnin’ Roman!

notafraidofblackcat.jpgHi Debby, Julie,   attached are shots from our last CPE agility trial, end of Sept., St. Cloud, MN.   Roman did really well on the Saturday, getting some Qs in the games and jumpers, one standard course. Sunday was very hot, we did ok but needed a 2 hour cool down in the car with the ac.   Roman is starting to do the weaves with enthusiasm, and a little hip hop through them.    The picture of the shute, he’s not going through, but backing out.  That’s an obstacle we need work on.  Everyone was laughing, I didn’t get it until after the run.  The photographer said he went through half way, then did a perfect straight line reverse.  Leave it to a Lhasa to have some creativity.  Use any photos,  permission given by crystalimagepetphotography.com.  Thanks for your time.  Mary R.
