Red, White and Blue

While we were at the dog show with Winston this weekend.  Carly and Elliott visited with their "Auntie Annette" who spoils them.  They also get to visit with her dog, Tucker, too. 

All the doggies pose with the collars Auntie Annette bought them! 

Auntie Annette bought Carly a dress!

Auntie Annette also took some other pics of all the doggies playing! Here is the slide show. We are so lucky to have Auntie Annette and Tucker to visit with.

It is always a struggle to get all three dogs together for a photo. Winston is a ham and he loves to pose. Carly really does not like to pose so she will not look at the camera. She especially dislikes posing with Winston! Elliott always makes a break from the pack to kiss the photographer. So here is the sad lot of photos of the gang today on the 4th of July.

Winston posing, Carly trying not to look and El thinking about the break!

Winston posing, Elliott lurching towards the break and Carly wishing she lived in a one Westie home!

Elliott makes his break, Winston posing and Carly accidentally sorta looks at the camera.

Winston posing, Elliott about to leap and Carly hoping we will all go away!

Maybe we can get that group photo  perfected next year!!  Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend!

Show weekend

Winston traveled to Jackson, MS for a dog show this weekend.  We entered Beginner Novice Obedience. We stayed at a hotel and Winston had to battle one of his worst demons: the elevator! 

Why are elevators so scary and noisy?!

Better read the rule book again!  But after we play ball.

"Are you ready?"

"Ready!"

Very nice heeling! 

Decent figure eight! 

The dreaded recall. Winston nailed it! Good job!

Mark had to check his arm band number when the judge called 2nd place! 

WOO HOOO! First leg down for the Beginner Novice title! 

I'm so sexy with my ribbons, my ribbons, my ribbons! So sexy it hurts! 

Winston and Mark had 2 more tries at Beginner Novice Obedience but we only came away with one leg this time around. Winston would not come to Mark on the recall in the second class. Then today Winston was off his game and just not himself. So, we will be working on those issues for the August trial at home! We met a few new friends and also got to visit with some other friends we have met along the way.
