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.

I have a canvas bag hanging on my stand dryer; you want the bag to breathe. Each time I take the hair out of the slicker brush I put the hair in that bag. The hair is clean and already ‘carded’. When the bag is full I send it to Amanda Todt for spinning.
Happy Birthday!

Pictured with two of his siblings in a group photo taken in October 2007, Dante is fourth from the left, held by owner Vickie. On the far left, held by Debby are sister Sadie and brother Fernando. Ginny, second from the right, is holding Moon. Julie is holding C’est La Vie and Avery.
And here’s sister Cleo…

“Kisses Of Fire”
Lay your head on my chest so you hear every beat of my heart
Now there’s nothing at all that can keep us apart
Touch my lips, close your eyes and see with your fingertips
Things that you do, and you know I’m crazy ’bout youKisses of fire, burning, burning
I’m at the point of no returning
Kisses of fire, sweet devotions
Caught in a land-slide of emotions
I’ve had my share of love affairs but they were nothing compared to this
Oh, I’m riding higher than the sky and there is fire in every kiss
Kisses of fire
Kisses of fireWhen you sleep by my side I feel safe and I know I belong
Still it’s making me scared that my love is so strong
Losing you is a nightmare fate and to me it’s new
Never before did you see me begging for moreKisses of fire, burning, burning
I’m at the point of no returning
Kisses of fire, sweet devotions
Caught in a land-slide of emotions
I’ve had my share of love affairs but they were nothing compared to this
Oh, I’m riding higher than the sky and there is fire in every kiss
Kisses of fire
Kisses of fireKisses of fire, burning, burning
I’m at the point of no returning
Kisses of fire, sweet devotions
Caught in a land-slide of emotions
Kisses of fire, burning, burning
(I’m at the point of no returning)
Kisses of fire, sweet devotions
I’m riding higher than the sky and there is fire in every kiss
(Caught in a land-slide of emotions)
Kisses of fire, burning, burning
I’m at the point of no returning
Kisses of fire, sweet devotions
Caught in a land-slide of emotions

Janet’s two dogs, Avo and Alsa, are clients at my grooming shop. Lucky me! Sometimes Janet paints something for me!
Rescuers use teddy bears to train
Posted: June 9, 2007 Filed under: Apso Aficionados | Tags: Debby Rothman Leave a commentLast weekend, AEV, a group I train with made the local news on KUSA-TV.
BAILEY – Stuffed animals are helping rescuers prepare for any disaster.
On Saturday, The Colorado State Animal Response Team (SART) prepared for wildfire season in Park County. The group’s motto is “Any disaster. Any animal. Anywhere.”
“(We are) going through the motions so that when it actually does happen you have some experience of doing it, it’s not completely foreign,” said Dianna Whitlock with Animal EVAC Volunteers.
Volunteers had to find specific houses and then rescue a list of “pets.” They would find stuffed animals hiding behind rocks or in tall grasses.
“When there is a fire or another disaster, it is going to be very stressful. We’ll be dealing with live animals, not stuffed animals, and it kind of helps to have some knowledge of how it worked,” Whitlock said.
SART is working to establish more training programs around the state. The group says it is critical to be ready to protect people and animals during natural disasters or terror attacks.
“It’s been shown with Katrina and a lot of these other big disasters that people will not evacuate if they can’t take their animals with them,” Whitlock said.
The program was started in North Carolina after Hurricane Floyd in 1999. Countless animals were victims of the flooding.
As a result, several state agencies came together to put a plan in place for the next disaster. Volunteers helped evacuate many animals during the Hayman fire in 2002.
Colorado’s program is part of the Colorado Veterinary Medical Foundation. SART is forging a statewide coalition between state government, non-government organizations, industry and volunteers.
There will be seven training sessions in the month of June around the state.
The group is looking for more volunteers.
