So It Looks To Be Three
While we are here in Hilton Head taking in the show, I got an update from Rita on KC. Her breathing has become labored so a quick trip up the vet was in order. She's not in labor but with just a quick glimpse at the x-ray it is very apparent why her breathing is as it...
SC Home For The Weekend
We have returned to the Red Roof Inn here in Hardeeville (We stayed here last November for the Savannah shows). We are in the back of the building again but it's amazing how quickly the rooms have deteriorated in 8 months. Or at the least, our room perhaps? There sure...
Amazing ….
... too bad there were no points! Georgie is tosti on a roll! He walked into the ring like he owned it. We didn't get breed - with two very awesome Champion girls in the ring - but we got our gimme Breed and gimme Best Opposite Sex but then we got Best of Winners...
Barbie’s Turn
With so much focus on KC and her ever growing belly, I thought I should share a Barbie belly update! She too is growing leaps and bounds. Look at her saddle bags! I am beginning to think we have five in there. I was initially leaning towards four but based on the...
Prep Work
Tomorrow, we are headed up to South Carolina for the weekend to attend the Hilton Head shows. Per the Judging Program, Georgie is the only male entered. With one class bitch and two specials, the only way he can get a point is to take Breed. The odds of Georgie...
Better to Be Safe
...than sorry! We have a show to go to in Hilton Head, South Carolina this weekend and with the size of KC and the way that she is acting, we thought it would be best to have her stay with Rita. She lives a lot closer to the vet, just incase we need to move up her...
Such An Old Man!
I still cannot believe that Dude is going to be 10 in November. It's just s crazy! The older he gets the more he hears things that aren't there and sees less and less. And of course, the more gray he becomes. Old man dude was our first and he is till allowed to think...
See ‘Um Move
Oh boy, KC has some very active puppies in there! If you stay over her and look down at her, you can see her sides move! Crazy will to watch Based on her breeding date and progesterone levels, they have a scheduled c-section date of Friday the 29th. I honestly don't...
Her Busiest Day Yet
From the moment we walked into the building this morning, it was a world-wind. The power went out in the grooming area first thing so the entire ring time schedule got bumped an hour. For such an early start it was kind of a bummer to sit and wait. It was all good...
More Of The Same
Today was a repeat of yesterday and even though there were no new points gained, I am actually happy. The fun would be ending way too quick! With only four more points until he is titled, I would like the chance to have a bit more time to play with him. How cool would...
She’s One Year Old
I still can't believe it has been a year but Parker is turning one! We have all watched her grow into the happy-go-luckiest little girl and to join together to celebrate her birthday was a must! The dog show community is an amazing one! With so many staying to join...
And Even Busier Today!
We got to the show site first thing this morning to help Debbie with her crew again, with a ring time the same as the Smooth Coat Chihuahuas! We worked it from the moment the clock struck 8:00 AM. Debbie was able to get the major again with the rest of us handing off...
Another Single Ring Day
I so love when the dog s how gods are good to us and we don't have major ring conflicts. It's even more awesome when we get to basically stay at the same ring all day. We had an awesome "home base" set up first thing this morning, with the trolly and our chairs. I...
Our Second Major!!!!
What a truly amazing morning! Truly! And I almost missed it! To earn a Champion title, the dog must earn a total of 15 points with two major wins. The majors must be won under different judges and at least one other judge must award some of the remaining points. In...
She Was Busy
Alexis ruled the morning today and accomplished quite a bit! It started in the Pug ring , with her getting a Select with Boomer. She didn't get owner-hanlder so that will make this a shorter day!. They both ran from that ring over to Juniors and she entered unfazed by...
I Have No Idea!
We decided to drive down the West Palm Beach this afternoon so that we could get a nice start tomorrow morning. I had a lot of computer work that I needed to finish so after we arrived and unpacked, I settled down with my laptop and a cup of coffee. Georgie begged his...
It Takes A Village
Alexis has an amazing job working at As The Tail Wags in Oviedo. Se started working there last week and every day she come home with new lesson learned and new amazing stories. They are so wonderful to her and I haven't seen Alexis this excited in a very long time!...
Step Struggles
Poor KC! It is very obvious that she is carrying more than one puppy and the struggles are becoming more apparent. I am pleased there is more than one because a single puppy has the tendency to grow very large but she is carrying a lot for her little legs. Her first...
Hole To Nowhere
A few times a year, the dogs take on a backyard project of digging a hole - always in the same location - I don't know if they are looking for something or perhaps trying to stay cool? What ever it is they were seriously on the job this afternoon. [gallery...
It Finally Happened
Slow to the party, little Miss Barbie has finally started to show the signs that she is in fact with puppy. The amount that she has popped, I would have to say puppies, plural! I am not quite ready to make my puppy count bet yet. Maybe in another week? ...
