Simon came out of retirement to compete at the Bichon Frise Club of Puget Sound.  Here is his photo from the Stud Dog class with his sons Baron and Buzz.  That is Tiffanie Coe handling Buzz for us for the photo.  She is usually seen on the lead of Leo the Leonberger.  Thanks Tiffanie! (She is one of Simon’s biggest fans.)

Simon received the Select Dog award all three days of the shows with his son Baron winning top honors both days he competed.

Also a snap of our loot from the Specialty.  Good times!!IMG_3513

Baron, CH Absolutely Agape Heartthrob, won Best of Breed at our local specialty show!  He can now include BISS (Best in Specialty Show) before his name.  On Sat. he was once again Best of Breed!  What fantastic recognition for a special boy.  Thank you to the judges, to Sheri for grooming him so beautifully and to Karen who handled him to his wins.

The Green Boy is getting cuter and cuter.  My daughter has given him the nickname of "Larry the Legend."

Neither girl wanted to sit still for a picture today.  At 10 weeks old, they think they have better things to do!

Miss Orange is very independent. I counted 3 puppies and couldn't find her. She was in her dog yard, in a corner, trying to dig through cement. Who wants to sit for a picture when adventures await elsewhere??

Pink Girl, who is usually quite agreeable, threw a little fit today. She circled and circled on the table. Then she was mad at me and wouldn't look at me. Finally we got this picture.
