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.
