Jamie and Lisa last year on James graduation day. Time goes so fast.

Jamie

Got some wonderful news in the mail. A wedding invitation from my niece Jamie. Going to be a great day for her and Sarn. August 15th in Portland. Very exciting.

Crested is Home

Great news!!! Apollo is home. Nancy and Skip headed home a day early to look for him and they just got the call on way home that he had been found. Their kennel help had let out Wynonna, one of the setters while they cleaned and she ran over to where he had been hiding. Thank you Wynonna.

Apollo

A terrible sad note of the weekend, that Apollo the Crested I showed last year for Nancy, ran off from home Saturday night. The Grandkids are searching for him, so hopefully he will make it home. I hope so. He is a sweet boy.
My prayers are with him.

Mt Bachelor Sunday

Ohh what fun, Annette came out and spent the morning with me. I showed Flea at 8am and the Setters were on at 9:30. So it was a rush for us to head over and help with grooming.
I had already decided old body be damned.... I was going to help out and take in one of the open bitches. And stand by for winners bitch.
Our help the day before was sketchy and didn't understand the Setter brain:)
But since it had taken me a week to recover from handling at Canby I was worried. But it worked out. Like I always tell Nancy, It always does.
The judge was a old old NUT!!! I saw in the breed before he was asking us to do a L on the down and back. Okay that is something Junior Handlers practice and do. Not us old timers.
But thankfully Peyton was back to her old self and Skip showed her to WB.
And then the drama.... The Sammy ring was a hoot.
Here's a pic of me and Conway and Annette and her Canby.

Mt Bachelor

These are pictures of The Flea and Lisa and Carol working with Barkley, Flea's Dad. He was having some "girl problems" and couldn't think.
Mt Bachelor results: #3rd out of 4 each day. I'm not discouraged there are a lot of nice Min Pins out there. And we show better everyday. Flea stacks great.....until she quits me:) Got love a minni.
Carol and Lisa stayed at my house Saturday night, and we had a handling class when it cooled down. Flea needs to move out quickly to level her topline and show her drive. I kind a thought I was showing a English I was moving so fast. But she looked better on Sunday. So practice, practice, practice.
Merlin won the breed both days and a GR 3 on Saturday. Hope he was in the money on Sunday too. It was just too hot and I had to head home.
Carol was WB both days with 2 different girls. Can't remember the boys. It was fun to see Gloria show. I can't believe it was 10 years ago she told Sharon to take a chance on me and let me have Isabella.

Down Time

Got home from show today, hot and tired. Took a nap and then watched a classic Movie, Alien. I have to confess, I have never watched it. I thought it was just a scary movie, WOW no wonder it is #1 on so many critics list. I really enjoyed it.
