Sad News

When we were in Missouri at Purina Farms we read the news that our real life fur pal, Granger, had to be rushed into emergency surgery. A few hours later we read the horrible words "HE'S GONE". We are very sad to no longer be able to play with our pal. He was the cutest Cardigan Welsh Corgi around. He was only 4 years old (that is my age!). Mom and dad read the news on the way back to the hotel and both started to cry. Our hearts are breaking for our friend Lynn (Granger's mom). Granger was her world and she is just heart broken. :(

I always liked to play with Granger

This is from his birthday pawty. Starr is in the pic too!

Photobucket

Even my brother Bokeh liked him and he doesn't like many dogs, BOL

Photobucket

This was a fun day at the dog park we had with him. He kept jumping over the walk area, we called him SUPER GRANGER!

Photobucket

Granger was also very good at agility and earned many ribbons.

Photobucket

Granger has lots of friends and we will all miss him very much

Photobucket

Rest in Peace our friend Granger. Gone too soon, but never forgotten.

Happy Memorial Day

Wow, we had a great day at the park today. We finished up a photo shoot for our friend Holly (she is a cute little Sheltie). After dad was done with the photo shoot we got to go play some Frisbee and go for a swim. We want to thank all of the people and pups in the military who make doing these great things possible. Especially to mom's nephew Nathaniel. Happy Memorial day!

Frankie and Ernie day

When we read about this day we just knew we had to be a part of it. Frankie and Ernie are two of the coolest dudes around and we are so happy that we have had the chance to meet them in the furs. Thank you Ernie and Frankie for all that you do to help make Blogville such a great place!

Remember the company I told you about that donate so many collars and leashes to mom's rescue? Well, mom found them because she purchased a collar and leash for me and a collar for Bokeh.

Mine says LOVE on it

Photobucket

Bokeh's is hard to see because of all his long white furs...but it says "Born To Raise Hell"...yep that one fits him. BOL

Photobucket

Anyhoo, they are a great company. You should check them out HERE

Weimaraner Wednesday

More donations are rolling in for Louisville Weimaraner Rescue's 5th Annual Weim and Cheese event.

Mom bought Bokeh and I a new collar and leash made by this company called Buckle Down. They are really cool, the clasp part is actually like a seatbelt buckle. Well, anyhoo....they had a contact on their tags so mom thought she would ask them if they would donate and guess what...they sent a HUGE donation. They sent us 14 collars and 8 leashes.

Photobucket

The leashes, don't you just love the "I LOVE BACON" one? BOL

Photobucket

We also received a really nice donation from Furminator. They donated a medium and large Furminator and 2 bottles of the solution.

Photobucket

Also, don't forget about my contest. If you post about the 5th Annual Weim and Cheese on your blog and get us a donation we will enter you for a prize or a donation to a rescue of your choice. Please spread the word. More details can be found HERE

Last part of the Missouri Trip

So we planned to leave bright and early Saturday morning and everyone talked us into staying a little later so we could show Bokeh in the conformation ring. Bokeh is fixed so we entered him in the Altered division.

Everyone getting their Aussies all pretty

Photobucket

The ribbons ready to be handed out

Photobucket

Our friend Rachel jumped at the chance to show Bokeh for us since we have no clue what we are doing.

Photobucket

She did a great job, thanks Rachel!

Photobucket

My brother looks like a real show dog, can you believe it?

Photobucket

Getting examined real good by the judge

Up close and personal

Missouri Trip Part 6

On Friday it was Obedience, Rally and Acrobatics day. Bokeh entered the Rally competition so he could compete in the Extreme Aussie Games (EAG). EAG is a game from the events where you have to get 3 Q's in performance events and then whoever has the best scores is the winner. So Bokeh got a Q in Agility, Disc Dog and only needed Rally to be in the running for EAG.

Bokeh never even practiced rally EVER! So here is his Rally debut:

Out of 210 possible points, Bokeh got 205. Not bad for his first time and all the point reductions were for dad having a tight leash. Bad dadster! So Bokeh got a Q in Rally and his first leg towards a Rally Title.

After all these events we went to the motel. Needless to say, I was not a happy camper and was ready go home. Mom's friends said I look all husky in this photo. BOL

Photobucket

Bokeh tried to comfort me, but I just wanted to go home.

Photobucket

We also met some other fellow Wigglebutts from the same breeder as Bokeh.

This is Danny:

and Danny's son, Jack. Jack was a big boy like Bokeh

Photobucket

After Obedience and Rally they did acrobatics. This is kind of like Bokeh does in Freestyle Disc but without a frisbee and dogs have to dress up.

This is Wya
