TT's mommy

I look forward to the day when I can hug Faith in person. This is Taylor's mommy. We've been calling Taylor "T.T." for "Taylor Tot." We so love her.

Hardy Comes Home!

Hooray! He's home. He is all over Taylor, so perhaps he doesn't realize all the excitement of her season is supposed to be finished.

Taylor passes her Herding Instinct test

Hooray for Taylor. Touch and go there, since she was really more interested in Jerry, the fence, and the other watchers, but the lightbulb did go on and she passed. She looks very cute doing it.

Photos from the Show

Had fun even though we didn't win. Super show grounds, and enormous!! Lots of room for everybody.

Hardy showed well, so Carlos was happy.

Hardy Settling In

Hardy settled right in at the Best Western in Pleasanton. We're here for a one day show tomorrow.

Faith and Zoe

Here are photos Kristi put up on her Facebook page. That's Taylor's mommy Faith with Kristi's son, Mike; and the other photo is Hardy's mommy Zoe with Kristi's grandson, Eamon. Thank you, Kristi!

Hardy's niece and Taylor's half-sister

Hardy's littermate, Goose, and Taylor's mommy, Faith, had a little litter of 3, and Kristie kept one of the puppies - cute little Gabbie. She just got back from the National, and here she is!

Finally the Photos from Petaluma

Here are the win shots from Petaluma. It was really windy - I wasn't really having a bad hair day. I don't matter anyway - it was all about Taylor, and she looked so pretty.

Photo from Scottsdale from the Paper

When we were in Scottsdale in March, Susan was interviewed and photographed for the local paper. She gave us a copy of the paper, and David scanned the photo from it. Very cute.

Tyler

I was playing around on someone else's site and found these two cute photos of Hardy's maternal grandpa, Tyler. There is already a photo of him on this blog, but these are fun, too.

Losing, gaining

Taylor's still losing coat, and Hardy's still growing it. T is in season, and it is much easier than last time, since I know what to expect. Will take H with me for the coming weekend, to go visit Matt and Elka, then to - hopefully - Carlos, who will keep him for me for a week, including for the traveling to Pleasanton for a dog show. Hardy thought T was in season two months ago; now that she is, he is not nearly as interested.
