Good Bloggie!

An interesting postcard was in the Denton show catalog. It’s advertising a Summer Day Camp for kids and their dogs. What a great idea.

Sniffcerely stated by Millie, the child and dog will experience “A week full of FUN!!” as top professionals coach them how to do things such as: basic obedience (assuming for the dog!), agility, Canine Freestyle, and even preparing to compete in events.

If you live in the Denton/Dallas/Forth Worth area, this would be worth looking into. Or perhaps there is a facility in your home town offering similar Day Camps?

The number to sign up is (940) 765-8980 and here’s the link to the place offering the Day Camp:
Bed Biscuit and Beyond

And found this link offering more info about the Day Camp and what to expect:
Bark Here!

If you’d rather attend a one-day event, the AKC offers one-day Education Matches, which are organized through local clubs and are for for adults and kids.

Check here to see if one is scheduled near you. Or contact your local kennel club and see if they have one cooking or express your interest in attending one.
AKC Education Matches

The overhead fans were circulating warm, humid air and the ring was filled with panting and wilting Frenchies on Saturday, May 10th. Vivian managed to hang in there long enough to gait her way around the ring to the Winner’s purple ribbon adding 2 more points to her tally! She’s now down to that last, oh so crucial (and being told hard-to-get) point needed for her AKC championship title. Our thanks to Judge Gary L. Doerge for picking our girl out of the panting lineup for for this ribbon.

And just to prove the adage “If you don’t like the weather in Texas, wait five minutes,” Saturday evening a cold front came through and Sunday was a cool, breezy day. Much kinder to all the dogs, owners, and handlers at the show.
