They [dogs] never talk about themselves but listen to you while you talk about yourself, and keep up an appearance of being interested in the conversation.

Weekend Trial Report

Rain again - or didn't anyone notice.  Agility trial in Dixon was moved to Sacramento area with none of the group attending.

Christy and Rollo competed in Breed over the weekend.  She said the ground was a mess so she carried Rollo from car to building hoping not to slip in the mud.  Rollo took reserve on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.  Friday he earned a 2 point win.  All he needs now are 2 Majors.

Helen Marie and Striker worked on Rally Advance and Beginning Novice (obedience).  Striker earned 2 legs in Rally Advance and his first leg in Beginning Novice.  He was robbed of a third Rally leg but that's another story. He showed in Breed on Thursday taking Winner's Dog and 1 point.  Friday he took Reserve.

CONGRATULATIONS TO BOTH DOGS AND HANDLERS!

 Looking a bit tired after a very long day!

He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

Ube Condition

Just wanted to update Ube is doing better and is stable. Ube had a internal bleed going on, for unknown reasons. The bleed has stopped, and it was before he needed to receive a transfusion. Hopefully after the blood works comes back we'll have a better idea of what the cause was or is. Ube is resting today at the vets, but if things go well, he should come home tomorrow. Keep thinking those good thoughts. And Thank you!!!!!

Good Thoughts for Ube

I need everyone to have good thoughts for Ube. He was neutered on Friday, and on Saturday evening we had to rush him to the vet. At this time, we don't know whats wrong with him, only that it has nothing to do with his being neutered. Please pass along good thought to him, wishing him well. Right now his condition is serious.

The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue.

The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too.
