The little bitch

ARGH... the little bitch is driving me batty. She tore into her bed today. That very same one in the picture below. Now I'm not sure if she can have a bed. I don't understand it. She's never done that when I left her with Khan in Khan's kennel. That is so frustrating. I try to be nice and get her a ginormous kennel with a nice bed and she ends up tearing into it. So annoying. If she does that again she will not get anymore beds.

Then, we go to the store for like an hour and I left them all with puzzle toys. Well, she decided to pee in the kennel. They have been outside for hours before I put them back in. Man, she's really not doing well in the larger kennel. I'll give her time. It's just so frustrating right now.

OK, so I returned the blanket I was using as a bed in her smaller crate. Maybe small changes. Maybe she needs time to get used to the larger crate. When things settle then I'll let her sleep in a dog bed. For now, we will just use her blanket. I hope she relaxes.

Stormy's Bedroom

Aww!! Look at her having fun in her kennel! Finally she has a place as large as Khan's. She deserves it, she's my pretty princess. I have to get more of those puzzle toys too. They all really enjoy playing with that thing.

Khan loves his XXL Kennel. :)

There they are, eating side by side in their ginormous Kennels. I love those things.

Hank says hi. He doesn't get a Kennel. I can trust him. ;)

Best of Winners and Best Opposite!

YAY!! Another point!! Khan is doing really well! He now has 5 points with a Major!! WOO HOOO!!!! I was wearing the same suit that I wore when we won his Major a month ago. I will have to stick with suits like those. They have been my winning suits!!

Stormy got first in puppy but she was the only pup. She didn't take Winner's bitch and not even Reserve. :/ I still think she's awesome.

Best of Opposite to Best of Breed

Yay! Khan won a point today! Now he has 4 points with one Major. First he won over Seven then won Winner's Dog over Blitz. They were the only males that showed. ;) Then, for the Best of Winners, the Winner's Bitch won the Breed so Khan got Best of Opposite to Best of Breed. :) The Winner's Bitch won over Destiny, a Champion that is being campaigned. That was a surprise. I can't wait to get the photo with the judge!! I had my peach suit on today. That's the second time I've won with my peach suit. :)

Oregon Specialty entries sent!

My entries for the Oregon Specialty and Portland shows are sent!

Hmm.. can you tell I hardly ever send mail with all the stamps on these letters? I'm trying to use the old ones up first. I ended up buying so many because I always forget where the stamps are and now I have a regular use for them, ENTRIES! I've gathered up the ones I could find and I'm starting to use the older ones first. :) I think it looks sorta neat.

Fun at Sarah's

OK, Here's how to read the ribbons on the picture above. They are placed in the order it was received. First day in Canby, Friday, Stormy and I did the sweepstakes show and won 4th place in the puppy bitch class. We won $8 (paid $5 entry fee).

The next day Khan got 3rd to Hugo and Seven, both his brothers. Hugo being first place then ultimately won Winners Dog then, I believe, also taking Best of Winners for his 4 point Major. Hugo was the ninth born, #1 rated puppy of the litter. So, anyway, Khan got third place that day. Stormy won first place, beating a very scared puppy bitch in her class. I forget who won Winner's bitch but Stormy took Reserve. I'm happy about the reserves for now. They are a good sign for better things to come. :)

The next day they didn't do so well. Khan took second to Hugo and Stormy won first over the scared bitch but didn't even make it for reserve. I believe the judge didn't care too much about puppies in general. That's ok, we had a really great time and maybe the next time we see the judge, me and my pups will be a better team!


Wee Hee!! They look like bunnies!

The pups love Sarah's place.

Stormy's cute butt.

Umm...I think Hank is having way too much fun with Andrew back there.

Pics from the Hunt Test

Aww... Check out all my pups on the chain gang. SO cute. They almost look like hunting dogs. :) And there's my lovely car.

Khan is shackled. I think he's taking it well.

He's so handsome.

Gad dang, he's beautiful.

My Stormy Storm.

Nice pair of dogs.

Hank is just soaking it all in.

My old man.

Everyone ready for bed time.

I think she's sneezing in my tent!

Next morning arrives early. This is the pretty hay field used for the Hunt Test. If you look close there are horses in the far right.


Food. Oh I was so hungry. I was soooo happy they had coffee and it was pretty good too. I had a lot of cups of coffee.

and more food.

Yummy strawberries and muffins.

So much food.

We celebrated this horse's 27th birthday. He looked really great for 27, I think.


I had a really great time at the Hunt Test. I got volunteered to help out so I met a lot of people. I really want to get into the hunting side of the dogs. I think they will do great. I'm not expecting spectacular phenomenal or anything.. just decent, really great. We are going to have a great time learning!
