Fresh from a Brush Out

Not much to brush on Taylor, but at least there's no more coat to lose! Hardy is very patient on the table.

Hardy's Win Shot from MC

Here is Hardy's win shot from Flashkat photos. Not a great shot, but it is what it is...

Thank you, Claire!

Once again, the O'Neills came through for me, as I didn't get photos at the show yesterday. Yes, that's Anna on Hardy. Carlos had a conflict.

Celebrating

Hardy and Taylor can play together again, as her season has become a non-event. That was a very interesting experience. They are still being closely supervised, but I've seen no indication that anyone is interested in anything expect play. They are celebrating Hardy's win and this joyous opportunity to play in the sunshine.

Hardy Gets 2 Points

Hardy won today at a show in Pomona, and it was a 2 point win, so he is all done with "minor" points, and now just needs one big win to get a "CH" in front of his name. Too cute. A big thanks to Anna Morgan, who handled him today when, at the last minute, Carlos had a conflict. They have each put 6 points on Hardy. Here's a not-very-good photo I snapped. Will replace it with the real one when it arrives.

More Determined

So Hardy has decided he can ALMOST get right on top of Taylor's crate. For the most part, as long as he can see her, he's fine. He and I had a nice day today. We went to Hesse Park, and I brought a beach chair, and sat under a tree, while everyone walked by and visited with him and told him how pretty he is. His brains unscrambled, and I got a lot of reading in.

Taylor in Season and San Diego for Mother's Day

I went to San Diego to see Matt and Elka on Mother's Day with Taylor. Here are a few shots. The others are from today, when Hardy was trying everything he could think of to get at Taylor, who was in her crate for a bit...

Photos of Hardy not Herding

Well, I guess it was too hot to herd, because Hardy wasn't interested today. He just wanted to run to the side of the ring and stand in the shade. Jerry gave it everything he had to get Hardy interested, even bringing another dog into the ring to herd and Hardy ignored them :) Maybe he was thinking about his little friend back home, and wondering if she was lookin' at another man!

Taylor Has a Bath At Home

Taylor is in season, and she needed a bath. I did it at home, and my super Air Force Blaster got her dry to the bone in no time. Of course, she is naked, so it is much easier than drying a big, fat coat.

New Pool

Hardy likes his new pool, but Taylor was having NOTHING to do with it...
