Me and my grandson paul at the dog show, originally uploaded by electra-cute.
Oh my…forgive how bad this photo is. The dog show today was a blast. Not only did Steve and I find some lovely chows to award ribbons to, we got a chance to see our sweet friends Tony and Sharon again …..it’s been at least 4 years since we met them in person last!!!
Also our friend Bill was at the show and it was so good to see him and meet one of our “grandchowdren” I guarantee you this photo does not do him justice. I took a cell phone shot of the back of the larger Canon camera screen to have something to post of him. I took tons of super nice shots of “Paul” with the good camera that I’ll post when I get home
What a dog..he was all kissie and loved his grandma a lot but he really is his daddys boy. He adores Bill and would do anything to make him happy. We are so very proud of what has been accomplished with our Derek son.
Tonight we are about half way to NYC and chillin at the hotel. Had a wonderful dinner of clams and oysters again and a nice black and tan beer which I hadn’t had in many moons. All in all a super relaxing day full of friends and dogs!!!
Tomorrow we will drive into NY and ditch the rental car. No point in having a car in the city when there is no place to park. Beside, the public transportion and cabs are such a big part of the fun and adventure in New York. I want to see ground zero which will be super hard….but feel the need to go. We have all sorts of plans for good eats and lots of sightseeing that we haven’t had the chance to do…and take in a Broadway show or too if we can!!!
I’ll catch up tomorrow when we get there. Wish I could share with you where we are staying but will let you know as soon as we check out!!!! Steve is full of surprises this trip.
Luv and purple chow smooches and panda hugs!!
Sandy and Steve
Would this be Bill Buell’s boy who Nan & Lynda say moves so well? Please tell us who you or Steve put up today. Was Karen there & did you get to see her Maddox who would be a Vincent great grandson?
Hi Pat…will get the details for you later but Steve gave one of Karens breeding a 5 pt major. Gorgeous cinnamon bitch. Bills boy had my heart racing I am so excited about him!!! Steve gave him Best in Speciality. It was a real treat to see this dog in person. We saw a number of really nice chows today. What is Maddox registered name?
Hi all,Maddox was not there. Harley was there. She is a Vincent granddaughter. Poppy Ubber Bliss wsa there. She is out of Be Bop and Ta Tu. Be Bop is Marti’s daughter. This was Poppy Bliess’ very first show.Her owner was thrilled. When she got Poppy Bliss from me she said that she did not want to get involved in showing. HA!!!!!KarenPS – Have a great time in the city.
Hi Sandy and Steve! Sounds like you are having a wonderful time and had some good chows to judge!We are so tickled with our Paul daughter. She is a rough coat red and just old enough to show…loves everyone and just came into first season. Hope that she can learn to show like her sire….safe trip home to you both!Love
That boy is amazing!! I have never seen such beautiful movement and his balance and carriage make him the total package!! I was so happy to get to see him in the ring after the national when he took breed. I know he has great things ahead for Bill. Have a great time in NYC.
I can’t wait to see the “big picture” of your grandson when you get home! Everyone’s comments have me really nostalgic. It is good to hear about Chows again, and you have me absolutely craving fresh seafood. Hi to everybody, and you and Steve continue to have a great time! Hugs…
Hi Sandra & Steve,I haven’t been on the computer since late last week. Working-gardening and more working—seems the kennel girls like to party too much, so ‘sorry I’m sick today’ seems to be the phrase of the holiday weekend. As always, sounds like you are having a blast.
Hey Sandy!I knew you and Steve would just love Paul! Can’t wait to talk to you when you get home. I sent you some new photos of Mr. Ike to enjoy.Luv,Bonnie
