Madison Show

It was a hot day up in Madison (that's Madison Ohio, not Wisconsin) for the dog show.  Heidi did great in the ring, while I was sweating my you know what off.  Heidi got to go in the ring 3 times, once for puppy class which she won (OK, fine, I admit it, she was the only one in the puppy class).  Then back in for winners, and back in for keeshond puppy, where she was beat out by her brother.  Good job Mr. Tug.  I was really pleased that Heidi didn't seem to be stressed at ringside, and she didn't seem to mind going back in 3 times. 

We're very excited to about plans for the upcoming Canfield show and meeting up with Smokee.  Will Smokee and Heidi remember each other?

Smokee Update

Here's some summertime photos of Smokee.

I'm the luckiest boy in the world - got my own pool, and a towel boy to dry me off

Ahh, life is good

Disc Dogs

Happy 4th of July.

For the holiday, we decided to play a little disc dog.   Izzy just loves to chase and catch.  Heidi has 2 different play modes with the disc - the chase and catch and the leap in the air.  I find the leap in the air much more entertaining.

Lima Show

I was told that I was being negligent in posting to the blog.  Of course, the person that said it was correct. 

Heidi was entered in a show at Lima today.  The drive over to Lima it rained, but by the time we got to the show it had cleared off.  Originally the was forcast to be extremely warm, but we lucked out and had wonderful temperatures until the afternoon. 

Heidi picked up her 2nd point, getting winner's bitch, best of winners, best of opposite sex, and best keeshond puppy.  She then went to the non-sporting puppy group and got a group 2 placement.  A very good day for the little one.

Since the weather was so nice, we took some time to get some photos.  It was a bit windy, but I think that just adds flowiness to the photos.

What a good girl, standing still for the camera
