Dale had a successful weekend in Bremerton
He hadn’t been in a show for some time and he acquitted himself quite well!
Way to go, Dale!

It’s fun to spend some time with two dogs who no longer live with me. They came yesterday and are staying for a week or so. They seemed to remember our routines and fit right in to the pack.
Wilson (front) and Morgan are a joy.

CH Absolutely Agape Cute As A Bug’s Ear DCAT TKN VSWB
At our recent Bichon specialty we were invited to enter the Parade of Titleholders category. Since I’m proud that Junebug is the first dog I have owned who has titles before and after her name, I entered her. The CH means she is a champion. The DCAT is given because she has run the 100 yd. dash enough times, at a fast enough pace. TKN stands for trick dog novice, and VSWB is virtual scent work beginner.
I was busy reading the information about the seven dogs who entered the Parade, so Junebug’s best friend, Doug, walked her around the ring as she received applause from the crowd.

The puppies from Gloria’s last litter are now nine months old.
Kevin, formerly known as Lucky #7, is on the right. He is sitting beside Auntie Violet with Grandma Flo-Jo looking on. All are interested in the carrots they are about to receive
This is Kevin’s sister, Vera. She looks much more “chill” in this picture than she is in real life.

The Absolutely group had a very fun weekend in Kennewick WA at the Tri-Cities dog show. Grooming and showing were all done outdoors. We managed with 3 “tents” and a motor home. We had wind, we had cold weather, we had sunshine, we had rain, we had more wind.
It was a busy weekend, as there were 5 FastCat runs and 4 conformation shows.
This is part of our set up. Sheri is grooming Fiona, while Burrito looks on.
11 of “our” dogs participated and had great success. Vera is not so sure she loves the conformation ring. Her happy place is playing with her buddies.
Junebug ran FastCat and earned her second title in that event. She also participated in conformation shows and was awarded Select two days.

Vito, the puppy colored black in the last litter is now 7 months old. He has told me (in puppy dog language) that he is NOT interested in being a show dog. He doesn’t enjoy the limelight Vito is looking for a new home where he can give lots of love and attention to his owners, but one that doesn’t require him to be a show dog.
Vito has had all his puppy shots and is microchipped. He is from a healthy line of Bichons and his parents are both champion dogs who have passed their health testing.
If you are interested in this handsome boy and would like to have him join your family, please get in touch with Sue. (use the “contact us” page on this website).
Vito loves to play. And he loves to run in the yard.
