Some of us took the long flight to Orlando Florida for the Royal Canin dog shows. It was a fun but very busy few days.  Millie and Carlo celebrated their 7 month birthdays while we were there.  This is the largest show they are likely to attend.

Millie met her Daddy, Lumi. He gave her a sweet kiss.

Tasheena is showing Millie. Millie thinks this is lots of fun!

It’s been a fun weekend at the Whidbey Island Kennel Club in Monroe, WA.  The young ones are doing well.  Yesterday was Carlo’s big day and today Millie was awarded her first 2 points.

Millie, enjoying her victory.

They look innocent, don’t they?

Don’t be fooled!

Millie (left) is resting next to her Aunt Pixie after a fun playtime. There was blood involved!  (but only because Millie lost a baby tooth)

Tasheena did a great job showing Millie. Millie doesn’t look too impressed with her win. However, she did try to taste the ribbons.

Millie and Carlo competed in a 4-6 month puppy show in Boise,Idaho. First dog shows are a lot for a young puppy – there is a lot of noise, a lot of dogs and strangers, a new environment.  Millie did better than I could have hoped.  Day one she was Best of Breed and got a Group 2 in the non-sporting puppy competition.

Day 2, and Millie is cheering on her friends.

Millie is going to her first dog show.  It’s for puppies 4-6 months old.  She’ll get to see her brother and her other Bichon buddies.  Should be fun!

Another bath?? Nobody told me I’d have to have a bath before a show!

I’m finally clean and dry. I’m glad that’s over!

Millie recently celebrated her 4 month birthday.  Teething has gone into “overdrive” and soon she will lose those sharp baby teeth and her permanent teeth will come in.

I think I’ll chew on this piece of metal!

My red girl has a new call name and a new registered name.  She is Absolutely Agape Lightning Bug aka “Millie”.  The “Lightning” part of her name honors her sire, Lumiere and “Bug” honors her mother, Junebug.

Millie is 16 weeks old today. She is a quick learner and knows how to walk on a show leash, stand like a show girl (most of the time) and twirl. She’s learning the rules of the house and is doing very well.
