Enjoying Life's Moments Responsibly
Going Home
The Tedster is going back to his forever family today and I think he couldn't be happier. I have become much more attached to my computer during the day since he left, leaving a lot less lap time mid-day. My nights are all theirs but since yesterday afternoon, Teddy...
The Cleaner
Mr Toddy has become quite the special little dude. When it comes to the perfect forever family coming forward to make him there's I am convinced that it's needs to be a home with another dog. Why you ask? He is a cleaner! A suer sweet and caring cleaner. If there are...
Too Sweet To Not Take Note
While passing through the kitchen to get me a coffee refill I couldn't help but stop and some at what I saw. Teddy was dog a doggy bed kinda guy when he lived here. Clearly that has changed since going to is new forever family. Napping in a bed wasn't what made me...
Dinner Bell
So we are back to the dog food shuffle and this time it's because of several reasons. The major one is that our local specialty pet shop is closing! I was totally bummed when I found out Happy Pet would be no more. I am so totally not organized enough to have...
Teddy- Sitting
So when the new forever family to one of our adults or puppies needs a dog sitter, darn tootin' we will say yes. Mr Teddy is here for the weekend and it took a grand total of about 3 minutes for him to get right back into his Teddy groove here. Scaling the back of the...
Diva Behaviors
Little Miss Tipsy is such a diva! She showed more excitement than any of the others when we got home last night and no today, she's sticking her nose up at me. If I didn't know any better I would swear she is getting back at me for not brining her along with us to...
A Gimme Breed Kinda Day
It's all good - We have had such a fabulous weekend with wonderful competition so to be the only Pug entered today wasn't so bad - It gave a chance to visit the Owner-Handler and Group rings again! And in Juniors, Alexis only had one competitor and admitted, it was...
Pimping Worked!
So apparently the trolley accoutrements I picked up over the weekend have truly paid off! The crate pads and bed were perfect. I got enough to rotate them out over the last four days and they napped in comfort the entire time. The licker bottles are of course the...
A Double Reserve Day
and it was earned - for both Georgie and KC! Georgie may have only had a single competitor and a lot of maturing to do but man did he have the judge's eye the entire time he was in the ring - Especially for Winner's Dog. He was soon close to getting his first point....
Their New On the Road Bed
So we have now figured out that the new trolley makes the best sleeping quarters for our show dog crew! KC loves her crate - any crate! She is just like my daughter, putting herself to bed! Georgie will do the same when begging to get up onto the bed goes unanswered....
Tough One
After two straight days of OH YEAH results, today was filled with a bunch of coming closes'. In Breed, a good friends dog took breed so we were thrilled for her but bumped to Select with Boomer. Still a point so it's all good and simply someone else's day. Can't with...
Show Lunch
I love me some awesome food truck vittles. Every show there is some local food truck vendors and I have experienced some fabulous meals. Unfortunately, the truck that was here Friday had basic chicken finger and fries baskets but at $10.00 for the basket and $7.00...
No Chi Love
Well, today we didn't wow the judge but I can tell you that I learned some lessons for sure so this was no waste of a morning. We tried the "feed him first" tactic before we left for the show to see if that might keep him from trying to eat every tiny scrap off the...
Belly Band Bandit
Georgie is become a man, started following our bellybanded Boomer all around the hotel room, lifting along with his buddy. We can't have that now can we? So it was time for the little man to sport his own belly band. I happened to have a smaller one packed in our show...
Another Major!
It was quite the amazing day when it comes to Boomer's Grand Champion title! We needed two more major wins and we also need to start beating some fellow Champions - Three to be exact! In they State and for the limited time he gets in the ring, it's been a challenge...
I Can Say It Now Too
We haven't even made it to the half of our first show day with the BIS Trolley and I can now also say I don't know how ever survived without it. Loading up the dogs from the car, lugging our stuff from ring to ring, housing the dogs while we wait for ring times and...
Two Varieties Again
Georgie was calmer today walking the ring but man was he scavenging the mats for every once of scrap bait! Seriously! It was horrible! So in addition to working on his confidence on the table, it looks like we need to feed him in the morning before a show so he is not...
Some of That Table Training
Back at the hotel room tonight I thought I would take advantage of the new trolley's grooming table feature. Georgie needs to get custom to bing up high on a table. This trolley is higher than a normal grooming table but the training is no less effective. At first he...
Been Eyeing These
I have been thinking about getting a Best In Show Trolley for a few years now. Several friends have them, each raving about how they can't imagine life without it. Pulling the dogs and all of our gear over the terrain at several of the show sites in Florida is a...
A Very Good Day
Alexis and Boomer had a very good day today! They may have been the only one in Breed today, they looked fabulous and got their Owner-Handler props. They did not hold a Juniors competition today so it made for a long wait this afternoon. We hung around not only for...
