Nice picture but the guy needs to get off my back!

Sat Sequim nada for us…

Sun Polly WB for a pt and Callie RWB

and da Pie went Breed!

Polly in the group ring at Lacey a few weeks back…

And on the way home…  two times in the ring is tough on a girl!

The shingles are tolerable.  Sadly, this is my second experience in the last 18 months.  In March of last year I got up in the morning, for the Seattle dog show, and my shoulder blade was burning and we all thought a spider or wasp got me multiple times.  By the time I actually went to the dr it was already in the healing stage and just hurt.  But the spot never really healed and the skin was always an off color and remains painful (think electrocuted skin tingles).

It showed up on the same exact spot this time and the more and more I read about it I knew it had to be shingles.

It’s only half as pissed off today.  But its in one of those spots…  Can’t reach over my shoulder to get it and can’t reach behind either…   Probably the only thing that’s keeping it from spreading!

We’re off to the Sequim show.  I’ll go up tonight (after the 80′ maple tree gets taken down) with Shea and Ana.  Mark will come up for Sunday’s show with Callie.  Polly’s entered too.

Saturday not much for us.  Shea won her class and the girls were 3rd and 4th in BBE.   Gramma Kim’s Miss Kitty was WB for her third major to finish at all of 7 months old!

Sunday Miss Kitty was a move up since she finished Saturday.  I took Shea in with visions of getting her first two points on her since the major broke.  Well… not only did she go winners bitch and best of winners but she ended up best of opposite sex over two bitch specials for a 3 POINT MAJOR!  Shea is all of 6 months and 2 weeks old!

Ana baaaanana went RWB and was in heaven Saturday night when she got to work sheep!

Callie inspects the new drainage for the gutters.  We’ve had a foot deep lake in the low spot and I was tired of muddy footprints.  So Mark and Jasen have spent their vacation digging trench in the 98 degree heat.

“You mean it’s not a new cardi super hiway?”

Every night at dusk Ana races around herding dragonflies.  She gets some serious air!  Maybe we can get the camera out a bit earlier tomorrow night to catch some action shots that aren’t so blurry.

We tore the fridge apart yesterday for a good once over…  Mark happened to glance over while the innards were running through the dishwasher…

Winner of the best caption will get some white puppy breath in a jar…

C’mon throw it!  Please throw it!

Casper says, “Oh mon ami… you are so beautiful!”

Casper?!

You stop humping Kate, bad dog!

One and a two and a… 

three! 

Run!  Kill the EVIL MAILMAN!

Again Auntie Le’o! Again!
