Boston's Bounty!

Boston had a most bountiful day here in Pennsylvania at the Samoyed Club of America National Specialty! She was one of the very few dogs to qualify in the obedience trial and was 1st Place in Open A! I was on cloud nine!!! Some friends said they had tears in their eyes...for me....the tears came later...I was just so happy and proud in that moment when she finished!

She also did well in Rally with 3rd in Excellent B and a qualifying run in Advanced B for her second RAE leg. So two down and eight to go on that title. Two more to go on her open title.

Now she is exhausted and is enjoying a well deserved nap on the king sized bed in our hotel room while the two young gals (her kids Korbel and Treasure) are wrestling on the floor.

Ready to Play in PA

We are busy getting ready to play in Pennsylvania at the Samoyed Club of America national specialty. There is lots to do including bathing dogs, cleaning out the car and packing it, preparing instructions for the dogs staying home, organizing work etc etc. There is even some last minute training to try to keep things fresh in Boston's mind. Tomorrow I work and then we leave in the early evening. Mike will be home packing up the car and getting everything ready. We'll head for Ohio Monday night and then plan to be in PA early Tuesday afternoon. I'll be taking lots of pictures and will post results for all to see as I get them.

The national is always a lot of fun but this year I am especially looking forward to meeting Judy and Bill and introducing Treasure to her dad Sniper. It is the gathering of the clan so to speak. Samoyed lovers will come in from all over the country and indeed the world for our annual family get together!

Dog Family Fun

Last night our friends Lorraine and Dan came over with Kody Bear for dinner and to share pictures of Alaska. They went on an Alaskan cruise about a month before we did and hit many of the same ports. After pictures were done we got the whole dog family together for some pictures. Boston is in back sporting her short "I just had puppies" coat. Kody Bear is on the left with Lorraine. Treasure is in my lap and Korbel on the far right. Kody Bear is Boston's Grandpa and Treasure and Korbel's Great Grand Pa!
