DEERFIELD FAIR IS HERE

Well I am off to Grandma and Grandpa's from Wednesday to Monday. Mom is working at the fair so I won't get much attention so I am going to BerryBrow Hotel for the weekend. Right now things are all over because of getting stuff together and setting up their booth. I got to go on Sunday and watched Mom and Charlie put the booth together and the shelves up. I got to lay there and watch.

Then after the fair back to getting shows set up and registered for. I love going and meeting other Shibas and other dogs and people. Mom is going to register us for the Canine Good Citizen test. My sister Zen, who lives in Candia on Merril Rd. with Sarah her mom, is a CGC so I am next.

Well we are off to take care of Dr. More's dogs and then other dogs and Alpacas. Then mom has to drop her stuff off at the fair. Mom is entering a dress she made, a photo of an Alpaca baby and a photo of the seacoast. In the 4H building mom is putting in 3 photos of me and her Civil War dress and undergarmets.

FUTURE CHAMPION

We had a great day on Friday at our first show. At 8:30am we went into Puppy 6 to 9 month old. We took first and then we had to go in for winners and we went against the Veteran. We took Reserve Winners. Then we had to wait until 3pm for the puppy group. We went in and did good. I did not like it went the judge checked my mouth. But I was a good boy. When we gaited mom was too fast. Then we had to line up and the judge looked at us and he pointed to first, second, third and forth. Well when he pointed to third it was US. Yup we got 3rd in Puppy group for Non Sporting Puppy out of 6. Mom was so EXCITED she had tears in her eyes and her mouth dropped open.

Grandma took photos and mom has the one with the judge and our 3rd place ribbon up top. YES that is mom in a skirt. Now we are looking for more shows to enter.

3 DAYS AWAY

Mom has our tack box packed and paper work ready and she has also packed her box. We are getting ready for our first dog show. We found out there are 7 Shiba Inus competing and only 2 male pups.

On the front of Country Animal Tender still expecting an Alpaca baby that was due last Friday. They are funny animals. They only give birth as long as it is not raining. If they do not have their baby before 1pm then it is called wait until the next day. Some of them that have had babies before they usually have their baby by 10am so that means that Victoria will have her baby by 10am.

Here in Down town Deerfield we are getting lite drizzle and it is damp. This was the kind of day I first met my mom. I was cold but she let me snuggle in her coat and be nice a warm. We are going to have Grandma take a picture of us this weekend.

First Adventure Coming

Well this weekend I was going to Newport, RI but things got to busy here. Pi and I have started to take Handing classes as a refresher. See we have entered into the Cranberry Cluster in Falmouth, MA on September 14th. We are only going for 1 day since this is our first of many to go. We are entered into the Puppy 6 to 9 month old dog (BOYS). Pi is handling it great getting ready but mom (ME) is a little nervous since I have not been in a show ring since December 2004 with Brodie in Boston Dog Show. But it is like riding a bike you never forget the patterns and standing your dog. Grandma and a friend of ours Susan are going to come and be our cheering section.

Then 2 weeks after that is Deerfield Fair so Pi will be staying at Grandma and Grandpa's while mom works at the fair. Deerfield Fair is September 27 to the 30, I will be in Consession Building #3 by the fire station.
