She will go out in to the yard, search for her stick for the day and then carry it with her everywhere! After playing with it outside, she will bring it back into the house and play with it there, usually leaving pieces of bark in her wake. Eventually what’s left of it will end up in the back of one of the crates and I will have to dig it out and throw it away. Then, you guessed it! We start all over again the next day!

We all want the luscious green yard but in this State it really is just a bunch of weeds. And when you don’t keep it cut the stick-tights take over. I usually have get the hint loud and clear when a long coat comes in with a few on them. Today it was insane!! Beyond SCREAMING that the yard needs tending to when your long coat AND your smooth coat come in covered from head to toe! YIKERS! Sorry guys!

Tipsy and Duper did just that and released a ton of energy! Chasing each other, wresting and of course, building muscle too! Happy little dogs living the life!

Today she laid down on the deck to be “eye-to-eye” with her playmates and they beyond love it! Not only was she not towering over them but they got to jump up onto her and climb! They all had blast!

Even with Tasha keeping my feet warm! She was in a bit of a panic watching and waiting for her favorite human but she managed to keep it somewhat together!

Bonus of the day – Outside of getting to nap on the drive home – Seeing I made it into the Canine Chronicle for the Meet the Breed booth in December! So honored!!!!

Tipsy earning her very first point!!!!! SOOOOO EXCITED!!!! I can go home now 😉

Ok just kidding – can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!

Duper is still rocking’ the ring and took WD and BOW for another point – YAHOO!!! Tipsy got first and no love beyond but it’s ok – she’s sill a baby! We got a long way to got with her 🙂

I got to handle so may fun dogs today!! A beagle, ridgeback and a Pomeranian. But what made today extra special? Getting to watch a dear friend get a Group 1 in owner-handled and then cheer her on in Best in Show! Congrats Stephanie!!!!!!

That and Tipsy got first and Reserve! Great day at the dog show. Plus I got to handle some other fun breeds. A Pug, and an Italian Greyhound! Add the fact that I got to hang with some of my bestest friends out there? WINNING!!!!

Tonight I had to drive to the hotel and then bathe Tipsy in the hotel tub. She’s used to the luxury of the facilities at home. This is a true induction to dog show life my darling! You handled it like a champ!

But that didn’t stop Mr. Duper from doing his thing and getting Winner’s Dog and Best of Winners! Tipsy got second in her class but she walked on frozen ground – that’s a win to me!!!!

Rounded out my day at the show with getting watch Michelle rock the dachshund ring again! SO proud of her!!!!

Tonight I got my workout in – Took me 40 minute to get to the gym this time!!! But so worth it! Ended the evening hang out with Sandy, eating keto and talking Staffy Bulls. PERFECT evening!! Geared up for day three…..
