We had a great weekend, had a lot of fun and we got to see places we hadn't seen before.
It's always great to go to a show with Bonnie, it's a lot of fun, she's always great. We had a lot of fun with Krissy, it was great to see her again and have a good time. I love your outlook on life and how you know how to handle things. I wish everyone had your attitude.
Gina I'm sorry you couldn't make it to the shows and you had to work but it was great for me, I got to show Cha-Cha and get WB on Saturday and WB, BOW on Sunday. I don't get to show my grand kids often so it was fun for me. I really like the way she's turning out you do a great job with her. She's a hand full just like her grand father and mother. I can't wait to see her and Paris do the WAE next weekend.
Judy your dane boy is really turning out nice congratulations on being top 10. Sorry you had to drive clear back to Vegas for just 2 days. See you next weekend, we're still doing dinner at the Mexican restaurant.
Deb your little boxer girl is really cute. I'll see you on tuesday.

The best part of the whole weekend was getting to go home thru Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park with mom. She hadn't been there since she was a young, her family ran sheep up there so it was great to take her back to some of her favorite memories or childhood and time with my dad when they were first married and he worked on the railroad up there.

It's going to be nuts on Friday, we have the Doberman specialty, the WAE, Am Staff specialty, Berner Specialty, Terrier specialty and Toy Specialty. Every body give me a call so we can work out our schedule. Shauna is coming to help as much as she can while working around the dobermans schedule so hopefully it won't be too nuts.

Here's a picture of Georgia playing with Fame's puppies last Tuesday just before they were cropped. I will get you an updated picture when I get back with thier ears up. Karigan is the one with the most bone and front. I like her head and neck the best too.

It's been a busy 3 weeks. Our grand daughter was born 3 weeks ago healthy and happy. Mom and daughter are doing great.
The puppies are just beautiful. They will be 8 weeks tomorrow. We cropped last wednesday and the ears are really nice. Ann always does a beautiful job. We named them Karigan and Kandy. They are house trained already and think they are just it since they get to run with the big girls. Georgia is absolutely wonderful with them and has taken over as babysitter. Everyone should be so lucky to have a bitch with a temperament like hers. She's also the ultimate clown.
The shows were great this weekend. We got to see old friends and have a great time. Winning always makes a trip a lot more fun.
For all of you who seem to be so concerned about where I am I thought I would give you my schedule so you can keep track of me.

I left last Wednesday 8/19 a day late after we cropped ears for KC MO for 4 shows and got home this evening.
I leave on Friday 8/28-30 for the Cheyenne WY shows.
9/1-2 SLC UT to see the baby
9/3-9/7 to the Greeley CO shows
9/10-11 I will be in SLC UT for a meeting
9/17-22 Shelton WA shows
9/24-28 MT show circuit
9/29-10/4 PA for Am Staff Natls

That's as far as I have firmed my schedule but I'll be sure and let you all know where I am at all times.
I will be doing the Tucson shows and I will be at Eukenuba in December as I have 3 dogs qualified so far.
It's been a great 4 months getting back to showing AKC my old schedules and to old friends. You don't know how much you miss it until you get back to your old friends and schedules.
Shauna hasn't gotten to travel with me as much Adams work has been keeping him really busy.
Mom got to go on a cruise to Alaska and had a really great time. She's home and back to being my co-pilot.
Katy and Allen are moving to Chesapeke Bay to take over a wild life sanctuary for the state park system so Merlin will get to go to work every day and swim in the ocean. I am so glad he has such a wonderful home and life.
Jake is still doing great and has been officially in remission for 7 months. He even gets to do wrestling this year in school. Jake got to go to Disney land for his Make a Wish the last week of July. He had the best time, he got to go to Knots berry Farm, MGM Studios and the beach plus he got to go to Lego land. I think he liked that best. It's great to see him finally getting to be a real kid.
