Late with a show update from last weekend. Have been experiencing a pinched nerve in my neck/ back and went to see doctor today to get some relief. Started over the weekend and affected my right arm.

Anyway here’s a quick summary from Umpqua KC:

James- 3 BOB and 2 Select. He ended up one point away from his GCH.

Elliot- 2 WD and 3 RWD,
Best Puppy in Puppy Sweepstakes at terrier show, Best Bred By Exhibitor in Terrier Group at the all breed show. A couple more points toward his CH. Main thing was he had been having some table issues and I think we cured those over the weekend, only his second weekend out besides Nationals.

Charly- @ 14 years young, Terrier B**ch 2nd place in group in Vet Sweeps to a much younger girl. I should have shown her at Nationals but didn’t. 😩

Congrats to Debbie Ruble on her boy, Fella, wins over the weekend. Nice young dog (although I really like the girl / sister she has!).

Elliot’s nice win rosettes.

I had just brought the grooming table inside. Laid it on the floor and got lunch. After lunch I got puppy out and was so surprised when I saw her walk up into the table by herself. Then she got off, wrnt and got her monkey toy and climbed right back up. Loooks like I have a born show dog!😂😂😂 Ain’t no fear here!

Sharon Allen, Brio’s owner found this phenomenal video phenomenal video on dog gaits. Well worth the 28 minutes to watch.

Oldie but a goodie. Highlights correct and incorrect gait and movement.

Because it’s that kind of morning on the road where you feel, more than see, your dogs around you, realize they are truly a part of you, and miss the ones gone more than usual.
From my memorial poem for Kate:

“When you travel the road,
To go and to show.
When the ribbons are few,
And the wins come slow.

Remember me,
And the times we had.
Remember me
And always be glad.”

Well worth remembering…..

A gentle reminder that your dog doesn't dream of ribbons. They dream of moments with you. Every practice, adventure, event, they're in it for the bond.

Ribbons fade but they Will be there long after . They should remind us of the dogs we loved and the time we were lucky enough to share.

So let every ribbon be a memory worth keeping, step into the ring a little differently today 💕

Happy 11th Birthday to Macgiver, Trace (formerly Merlin), Buddy and Draco. Eleven years have truly flown by but you boys are doing grand!
Macgiver sez, “Hello, bros!”
Gizmo x Charly.
I remember fondly the day we trundled up to Danielle’s home for this breeding and how gentlemanly Gizmo was! Charly’s first litter, just a few months after her National Specialty win!

While I am at show Kyle is making sure Miss Puppy gets more new experiences. Here she is first time with the cat tunnel! She must be a real hunter. Loves to drag things back to her den! Drags the tunnel around before she even thinks if bling inside! 😂
