Jan. 18, 2016 – Cash is Best of Winners once again. Next he competed in the puppy non-sporting group ring. Here he is receiving his Group 3 award. In his acceptance speech he said, “I would like to thank the judge, my owners Paula and Dina, my handler Paula and my touch-up groomer Sheri. Oh, I can’t forget to thank my father Zeke and my mother Piper.”
As a breeder, I am thrilled that four of Piper’s progeny are entered in the Western Washington Cluster dog shows. Today Baron was awarded Select Dog, his first time out as a special. Flo-Jo finished her championship with a 3 point major. Seven month old Cash (pictured} was Best of Winners, giving him a 3 point major his FIRST time in the ring!
Introducing the newest addition to Absolutely Affinity Bichons. Yesterday Poppy brought the new addition into the world–a little female weighing 6.35 oz. and screaming all the way. It took until about midnight for both mother and pup to decide they belonged together and settle down. Poppy is taking motherhood very seriously and is becoming a great mom. It is difficult to get a picture of the puppy since she is very strong and active–and a “chow hound”. More pictures to follow.
Buzz had a bath and a big boy hair cut a week ago in preparation for going to handling class–I have to take the picture quickly since Buzz will soon be a mess–typical male pup–loves to wrestle, run, and play–life is a big party and Buzz is enjoying every moment.
Losing a friend is never easy, even though you know it’s time.

TOO MUCH CHRISTMAS CHEER?
Simon and his son Baron, just chilling
This afternoon Buzz was found sleeping under the Christmas tree–he must be waiting for Santa–he has 2 more days to be good–which is very difficult for Buzz. 
Buzz would like to tell Santa that he has been a good boy, BUT just look at that face–ALWAYS looking for trouble!! Merry Christmas from Buzz
“Merry Christmas” from Piper and Tessa
Merry Christmas from Hannah Banana!
Sometimes Buzz likes to nap in his favorite garbage can–that way no other dog can sneak up on him from the rear and he can keep an eye (shut) on his toys.
But then again, Buzz likes to sleep in the plastic toy box–how comfortable is this position?? I get a stiff neck just looking at the way he is sleeping–but if you have played as hard and as long as Buzz has, you can fall asleep anywhere.
