Not this weekend

So, I drove back and forth to Deleware all weekend in search of one stickin point for Mimi. Well it wasn't to be. She is stuck on 14 points and sometimes that is the hardest place to be. The answer is to just breathe and stop stressing about it and know that it will happen. Just continue to enter her and show her and she will finish. She did go home to live with G. But now we have Rolex here to get ready for the Specialty, so we are still have way too many dogs.

It is just ridiculous

So Newell is standing in front of his dresser complaining about how none of his socks are matched up. He asks me if I even try to makes pairs. I have to admit and I do admit that no I don't try. When I do the laundry all of his socks get paired up by color and all of his socks are black. I just can't be bothered with the matching pairs. he says that I get on him for little things like not picking up the towels off the bathroom floor and he is right, but I just can't care about his socks. Maybe we should buy other colors. I don't know I probably won't care about that either.

Where has the time gone

Todsy is Mere's 24th birthday. OMG. How did that happen? She has grown into the most beautiful young woman and I am so proud of her. Sometimes our relationship has been tumultuous to say the least. But now we have a great friendship and I love and value her beyond words. I hope today is great for her and I can't wait to see her this weekend for her official birthday dinner. We will go and see the puppies and than go to a great restaurant in leesburg.

All Done

so, I love it when a plan comes together because it happens so rarely. Well, Landen did it. With only one reserve she was undefeated and earned her championship in record time. She was truly deserving each and every time and we will be sorry to see her leave us. Hopefully she will be bred and we can get a puppy from her that is just as sweet and beautiful. Now, all we need is for Mimi to cooperate and finish this weekend

Can she do it oday?

So, Landen came here about 4 weeks ago to be shown. Chris agreed to let me have her for a short time and than take her back home to Colorado after the Specialty in May. We have a lot of shows during this time of year, but 4 weeks is a really short time to get the championship but heather and I were up tot the challenge. We started showing her in Edison and with the exception of one show she has won every time. Now today we are in Baltimore. Yesterday she won for her first major and now has 13 points. If she wins today than she will be finished . It would be great to send her home with her championship but the dog show is a funny place and eventhough we may have the best dog today, the judge may not see it that way. Every day is different. So we go today hoping for the best but knowing that there is another dog show next weekend. Wish is luck.

Another dog show weekend

Hopefully we are coming to the end with my girls. We go into this weekend with Mimi just needed one point and Landen needing her majors. Sat and Sun both major days so Landen can finish and if the major breaks than hopefully Mimi gets her last point. both girls will get their hips and elbows xrayed this Wed and than both can go home. We have gotten used to the number and really they are all good. Even when they are all in the house it is not pandemonium like you would think. We have a routine and everyone knows what to do. In just a few weeks the new puppy comes and than we start teaching all over again.

Where to begin

THis has been a crazy few days. First, Landen won all three days in Harrisburg, she now has ten points and needs her major to finish. Hopefully that happens before she goes home, although Heather would like her to stay to be specialed a bit, but I dont think Chris is on board with that plan.

THan the draft test. We had a back to back draft test. THe draft judge is here with us We were up at 5:30 both days there all day and than on Saturday everyone came back here for hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill. I am a bit sunburned and very wiped out The judge goes home today so off to the airport this morning.

This week is just as crazy as last. Wed, YOrk meeting, Thursday Newel meeting. Sat, Sun and Monday dog show in Baltimore, And to top it off, it is going to be 90 degrees today. We need to take the pool cover off so I can swim..
