Well, Dad took off in his boat!!! He made it to Gig Harbor yesterday, a short trip but at least he's on the water! Looks like the water should be good today for him, a bit overcast and no wind.

Mom is in FL with her cousin, they went to Key West yesterday and had frozen Key Lime pie dipped in chocolate! Yum! She sounds like she is having a good time too.

I sent maybe 8 photos to Purina for their magazine for a Spotlight on Shea Skinner. What did they pick? The worst photo I sent them... go figure. Drives me nuts. Not good for Shea or me... Whateva...

Ina, Tess and I went to class with Jeannie last night. It was a much smaller class this time than last, I just played with the girls on the side this time. Ina did really well. Maybe the competition with Tess or the confidence of having Tess there helped her to push up on her front the way I want. Good Girl!

I guess I had better get to work... I still have a whole show to edit so they can be mailed.

Just another Wednesday

Well, we had a very windy night! But no trees came down. A VERY good thing! I hope this weather holds a bit so Dad will go out in his boat. He has some very good friends who have been working on the engine, hopefully he will take the time and go! Dad sent me a video about lighthouse in France, I'm glad we don't live any were near there!!!

Bindi and I will be off to DCA in a little less than 2 weeks. This will be a very fast DCA trip for us. We meet Jennifer & Tanner at the airport on Monday afternoon, get to the hotel late Monday, show in the Top 20 on Tuesday, in the Breed on Wednesday and we'll be on a plane at 7:30pm Wednesday to Sacramento for work Thursday thru Sunday. I'm hopeful we will see just the right boy to breed Bindi to. Better get going, Bindi is getting mad that I have not let her have the last of my coffee yet! Silly girl....

Some of you know we lost Zack last week.

Zack came from Bob & Lois Wilthew as a stud fee puppy. Mom & Dad picked him up at the airport and he sat on my Mom's shoulders all the way home. He lived with me at my house for about 3 years, Mom said she wanted her own dog, maybe a little dog... then she thought maybe Zack might like to spend some time with them as I was traveling with so much with work and with Mocha so he stayed and became their dog.

He was the only Dal we have ever had that really liked to fetch and retrieve. He also sat-up and would do it so he could see out the window better. He never stole anything from the counter or table. He was a kinder, gentle kind of dog. Zack never went with Mom & Dad in their boat as he did not like to movement of the boat, but he loved going in the motorhome with them.

It was a quite end, with Mom, Dad and myself at the Vet's. Dad brought an oatmeal cookie for Zack and left his hat for Zack. It was so sad as it always is, but comforting to know that he is free of his failing body and mind.

Our first post!

Hi all,
Sue MacMillan has a blog from this site and I really enjoy reading about her spots and fish, so I thought I would give it a try. Now, don't look for something from me every day like Sue, but when I think of something to say or have a photo of interest, I'll post. As many of you know me.... I'm not real good at keeping up on this type of thing (just look at my web site...) but I'll give it a try!

So here goes... This post is a test to see if I get it right!
