Enjoying Life's Moments ResponsiblyAnd Today There Was Sleet!
Oh Yes! The cold front has move, the temperatures have dropped, the wind has picked up and the moisture is still in the air. Combine it all and bam - we were greeted with sweet when we got here at 7:00 am! OUCH! The weather didn't stop the Georgmeister from be-bopping...
Back Into The Swing
Alexis and Boomer got to go in for breed just after the downpour and they didn't skip a beat. They kicked off the second weekend of the Cluster just as the ended the previously - With a Select and BOB Onwner-Handler - Woot Woot! The Junior ring wasn't as streamlined....
Bee-Boop Between The Rain Drops
We knew the rain was on it's way since we drove all the way over to Brooksville in the very early morning waves of downpours. When we arrived ringside it was just a sprinkle and it stayed that way until right after our trip around the ring for his puppy class. It was...
Gooey Ears
Olive has been claimed by all of the dogs as their's to take care of. I am sure they realize that she is "special" so they all tend to keep an eye out for her, with some going to far as to treat her as their baby. We have a few maternally driven Chihuahuas here, with...
The Rumors Were True!
We are back home for our first weekend at the Brooksville Dog Show Cluster and we were greeted by these two birds of a feather. I was told that once the hawk realized there was "food" in our backyard that they would be back. Looks like he brought a friend too!!! A...
Best Day Yet!
Today was - hands down- Georgie's best day on the ring! That is usually the case, the further into a cluster the more confident they become. That is totally what happened for our sweet miracle boy who was a tad full of himself this morning, especially when in for...
The Girls
KC and Tipsy may be off the show circuit right now but they totally still love their chicken bait. Both have floppy-tail in the ring but look at them in the comforts of the hotel room! They have been real troopers this weekend, coming along to the show grounds during...
Another Great Day for the Dynamic Duo
Alexis and Boomer had another fabulous day in Brooksville. Starting with another Select and Owner-Handler BOB in breed, these two were again a very fluid team. In the Owner Handler ring they walked both yesterday and today. Boomer is a bit below his show weight and we...
Much Better
We kicked off the show today with Georgie being alone in his class and boy did he do a much bette job than yesterday. None of that slinking, instead, this time he kept finding the boat that was clearly left in the grass yesterday because that had all of his attention....
Great Day 1
All in all it has been a fabulous first day here in Brooksville. We brought Tipsy and KC along for the weekend so that we could lighten the load back home and they have taken it all in stride so far. The boys - Boomer and Georgie - have been as well, dealing with the...
Great Start to the Cluster
It was a very long day with us starting here at the Brooksville show grounds at 7:00 am and then having a 2:45 pm ring time for Juniors but man was it worth it! Alexis and Boomer were in total synch this afternoon and it was beautiful to watch. Clearly the judge...
Georgie’s Debut
After Georgie's harrowing experience only four days ago, I really want too sure what would transpire today. We entered him in the show for both weekends but getting him to be confident enough to walk on a lead or stand on a table was never a for sure. He was back to...
Pugs with a Rainy Start
We kicked off our first weekend in Brooksville very, very early and on the damp side. It was raining the majority of the drive over and when we arrived at 7:00 am I wasn't about to lug all of our gear through the mud so off to the ring we walked. We literally...
Look At That Face
We are wrapping up our evening after packing up the car for an early take-off tomorrow and I couldn't help but take note of Olive cuddling up next to me on the couch. She stretched herself out and made herself at home, periodically peeking back at me perhaps making...
Deck Time
With less running in the yard now the dogs have a lot of time on the deck for their frolicking and fresh air. Ginny is not a real "active" girl - she is more of a waddler. When she is not waddling around she is napping. Today I found her up on the deck chair resting...
Doing Great
A full 24 hour after the hawkcident and Georgie is doing fabulous health wise. The puncture is healing very nicely and the only swelling left is at the bridge of his stop. He is back to full-energy playing with his half brother Toddy and wanting to spend the day as...
Our First PSA of 2016 – BEWARE OF HAWKS!
YES! You read that right. What I am about to tell you is hands-down one of the most amazing stories ever and it's a true miracle that it all went down like it did. Alexis was out on the steps off of our back deck eating some leftover pizza for breakfast. If you own...
They Wait
Tipsy happened to find a scrap of fabric that came loose from a fabric woven rug we have by our back door. It actually fell from the dryer as I was changing loads and she tried to secretly sneak off with it but she was too adorable not to watch. She claimed it as her...
Change in Plans
Initially, we planned on breeding for a Spring litter but we have opted to take a break and enjoy our Winter, whelp free. Barbie and KC were not bred and we will be waiting for Milly's next season to hopefully have a Spring breeding instead. And now that they have...
Totally Predictable
The roped Christmas light dog toy from Target was back this year! I actually bought it around Thanksgiving because I didn't want to have to go another year without one in the house. And it was the first gift opened this year - I don't know who was more excited, me or...
