We're Back

Boston was fun. We placed 1st and Winners in the Novice group for Shiba's. But did not go on to Non-Sporting Group. We had competion when we went into the Best In Breed. After competing we walked around and saw many of Grandma's friends running agility and 1 friend who was helping the Old English Sheep Dog rescue booth. Sandy did not know Mom was competing with me in Breed.

1. The picture the group we are the last ones in line.
2. We are coming back to the judge. Boy I look GREAT.
3. Here I am waiting for the judge to come up and look at me.

Well our next show will be Fitchburg, Mass. next month.

Everyone stay warm and cuddle up with someone. I love to cuddle with mom on the couch.

Happy Holidays

Boston Dog Show 2008

Yup mom just signed me up for the Boston Dog Show December 4 and 5. Here I am in my LEAST favorite place. The bath tub. I let mom and everyone else in the building that I DO NOT like taking a bath. I SCREAM. Next will be going to grandma's to get my nails done. YUCK. But I guess I have to put up with it to get the BIG beautiful ribbons for mom, Eunice and Mark. Oh Eunice and Mark are my breeders who live in Derry, NH.

Well time to recover for the bath. I hope you all have a safe and Warm Thanksgiving and a Happy New Year. When we get back from Boston mom will let you all know what happens since I can't type on the computer.

Fall Is Here

The cool weather has arrived. When mom brought me in last night I was very cold, even my paws where cold. I was happy to get in my crate and warm up. Uncle Willie left to go back to Australia this afternoon. Last Saturday the boy scouts did their scouting for food. I went with mom and Charlie to the Armory in Portsmouth to help with the collection of food. I stayed on mom's lap and "Helped" put the numbers in the computer and keep mom's lap warm. Everyone likes to see me with my mom.

Everyone stay warm.

Australia

Mom finally got her pictures downloaded. Mom went to wineries, saw kangaroos, koala bears, parrots, saw a lot of friends. This weekend is the Wooden Boat Forum wood cutting party at grandma's. Uncle Willie is still here and cutting trees.

Mom said she is going to go back and have Uncle Willie be a tour guide since the trip was cut short. Time to break out the winter coats and the orange coats.

Enjoy the pictures

DEERFIELD FAIR IS HERE

Yup that time of year again. Deerfield Fair is this weekend. Mom and Charlie will be in Concession #3 selling leads, collars and Watkins products. I have been going to the fair to help supervise the setup of the booth.

Then next Thursday mom leaves me for Australia until November 10th. I will be staying at grandma and grandpa's while "Down Under" mom is going to a IFYE World conference in Adelaide and then up to Brisbane area to stay with Uncle Will and Aunt Donna. I can't wait until mom gets back and she tells us all the fun she had.

Well off to the fair and finish setting up the booth. So if you are in the Deerfield, NH area please stop by and see mom in Concession #3 by the fire station.

Great Grandpa Hargreaves

Hi everyone

Last Sunday night my great Grandpa Hargreaves, Grandma's dad, passed away. While mom went down for the funeral I stayed with Lynn and Charlie Garland. I played with Trixie and Cuffy.

The 4H World conference is the International Foreign Youth Exchange, IFYE. Mom went to Switzerland back in 1996 for 6 months. She has been to 1 other World conference in Washington, DC and 1 National Conference in Burlington, VT. So look for photos when mom gets back. Oh and before the trip is Deerfield Fair September 25 to 28. Mom will be in Concession building 3 by the fire station. So come on by and see her. I am staying at Grandma and Grandpa's for the weekend.

Well time for my bed.
