Let’s get going here
It’s a little blurry — like a puppy in motion — but he was definitely ready to go! Again thanks to Jeri for the photo.

Amending With Photos
July 21, 2008 by MyEye
Go down to the post from Saturday night (Beaumont Kennel Club Day 3). Jeri Lamy sent me some photos of our Chase-puppy being a show dog. So, I added them to the appropriate post.

The Upstairs Maid
July 20, 2008 by MyEye
Several weeks ago I reported that I had purchased an iRobot Roomba 530 for the downstairs. We named her Tess. She has well and faithfully performed her duties of picking up dog hair every two or three days. I’ve been delighted with her work. I could have given her a raise, but instead I obtained the services of an upstairs Roomba. Adrienne and I named her Sally.
On Thursday my friend/housekeeper vacuumed my house with her Dyson. Today I turned Sally loose on the upstairs. Notwithstanding the vacuuming only a few days before, Sally collected a small trash bag of unneeded dog hair (actually dog hair is only needed by the dogs for a finite period of time) – and she collected it from spaces that are not accessible to the Dyson, but obviously places to which dog hair will gravitate.
When Kip, Inca and I go to Rally class this afternoon, Tess will hit the downstairs again. Otherwise the two dogs will watch the Roomba, scrambling out of her way when she heads in their direction.
My daughter-in-law, who has Jack Russel Terriers, bought a Roomba (after I bragged on mine). They named her Hazel and are very happy with her. Debi does insist Marc close the outside doors when Hazel is working so she doesn’t escape and go racing down Meadowlark Drive where she might be hit by a car.

Beaumont Kennel Club (Day 3)
July 19, 2008 by MyEye
Saturday: Chase was second in his Sweepstakes class, but again won his regular class. Again, no points. He’s showing well, still acting like a big boy, still unafraid of the hustle and bustle in the arenas — so that’s what we seem to be taking away from the Houston shows.
Perhaps we’ll have a break-through tomorrow. Think good thoughts for the baby.
Photos just in from Jeri Lamy. Her girl Lizzie finished Saturday. Thanks, Jeri.
I know you have a cookie!
He’s coming at you!

Houston Kennel Club Show (Day 2)
July 18, 2008 by MyEye
I’m hearing that Chase looked great and behaved very well. Again he won his class, but no cigar. He’s a handsome puppy, but some judges stop looking at puppies once all the class winners get into the ring. Perhaps tomorrow things will change for the better.
Jeri took some photos of Chase the first day and was kind enough to email them to me. Unfortunately they are sort of green (flourescent lights). I’ll try to run them through PhotoShop tomorrow and post if they clean up.
