Happy 11th Birthday, Polo

Many, many more, sweet boy!

New UKC champion and Reserve Best In Show

Saturday, Guy completed his UKC championship and got 2 Group 1 wins. (2 shows)

Sunday, (1 show) he took Group 1 and on to Reserve Best In Show.

He has learned a lot about standing still, gaiting and paying attention!

Hot Time in Mobile

This AM is was 72 degrees at 6 AM AND humid. Finally had to break down and turn on the AC. Hope this spell of warm weather doesn't last too long.

Going off to the UKC show over in MS for the day on Saturday. Guy just needs one more competition win to get his UKC championship... maybe there'll be another breed in his group. Keep your fingers crossed.

Tortoise Jousting

I was out doing my daily walks around the yard, when the dogs pointed out something interesting on the other side of the fence. It was two tortoises and one was upside down on it's back. So, I reached through and set it right side up, then continued my walk thinking I'd get the camera and take photos on the next round.

The next time I came around, one of the tortoises was standing on end... apparently tipped up by the other one. I thought at first it was a male and female, but now I realize it's two males jousting! I decided to let them settle their "king of the hill" battle without human intervention.

First photo is after I had righted the upside down one, got the camera and came back... apparently they had battled again and the nearest one is standing "on end". The "victor" is stalking off and I righted that one again.

New Title

Just got back from the MBDTC agility trial... Diva got a new title -

entertaining!:-D)

Friday: 1 place NJP, 1 place NFP

Congratulations!

Breaking news from Terry Matthews:

Ongoa of Kalahari passed her Canine Good Citizen test last night in fine form. The star of her class, she aced all of the exercises with a particularly enthusiastic recall. After class, a party was held for the dogs with home-made organic liver treats. All participants in the class had fun!

Her housemate, Kalahari's Runako, also passed his CGC test March 9th. He is currently enrolled at FlashPaws, earning his membership in the FlashPaws Agility Club the second Thursday in January, exactly one year after beginning lessons. To be awarded 'his shirt' he performed a clean
run of a standard course on his first attempt at class.

Kudos to the Kalahari kids!

Keep Your Fingers Crossed!

I picked up Darla today from the insemination clinic and with a bit of
luck, we should have puppies due on May 3, 2008!
