weekened of dreams

After last month, I decided I needed to have fun, a weekend of laughter, joy, fun with friends, etc. . .with that in mind, I made vacation plans, verified them with Kari, a good friend and the handler I use, and waited impatiently for them to come about.

This last weekend we took off , our plans almost ruined by a bad reaction on my part to a bug bite. . .after a go ahead from my dr after an xray to rule out a broken foot, we hopped in her big white van and went to Ohio's Madison OH cluster with three Borzoi :)

My mini pony, err, 9 month old moose Borzoi puppy Duckie (Mielikki HiNote Secret Agent Man) was RWD at the hound specialty, RWD to a major, took his third point and was again RWD, with lots of compliments :) He's such a sweet petunia plucking, dandelion destroying, clover chewing puppy. He also placed in the rather large (10+) puppy group both days we showed(We called it quits due tot he heat Sunday), with a 2nd on Friday in a pretty big group & a 4th on Saturday :) He's now got 3 points and is being put up to mature and grow into the legs he suddenly grew LOL

My Bounce, (Silkenswift Bounce Into First Dawn SGRC) who's had an awesome last 9 months with winning the LGRA Nationals meet, as well as our breed nationals LGRA meet, placed 1st in FLight B ASFA trial at our nationals, and RWB at our supported entry, was WB at the hound specialty and then again on Friday, for 7 points(giving her three majors), and then RWB on Saturday, Sunday's judge didn't like her, but that's ok, we were happy to share the wealth and got the two majors that were available :)

Then our Special Briar, (CH Zharkov Teine briar SC) who was AOM at our Nationals this year with almost 100 specials, was BOB at the hound specialty and SD for 9 points and two of his majors :)

Yeah, we pretty much flew home :)

No, it didn't make up for the loss last month, but it's given me a lot of reasons to smile this week :)

Secrets Secrets

Been busy with work and enjoying the four kiddos. I can't believe they're 4 months old. Thought I'd share photos of them, some newer some older. Hopefully weather's nice enough that I'll be able to get more.

There were four pups, two boys, two girls. The white & red boy Mielikki HiNote Secret Traveler has moved to VA with Nacht and the Erdmans. He's keeping them busy! Sounds like he has an obedience career ahead of him as well as whatever else he wants to do!

HiNote Mielikki Secret Intrigue AKA Blondie, just off a few weeks crate rest
from an injury.  Waiting on the perfect home!

Blondie playing with their "Tante" Pickle Hill's Cashmere.
 Cashmere LOVES puppies, doesn't matter who they belong to!

Blondie being silly, sorry, can't flip it LOL

And somewhere racing around the yard being stupid that day, she managed to rip a toenail out.
She's lucky she's cute LOL

My two keepers. Mielikki HiNote Secret Agent Man AKA Duckie, my tankie red brindle,
And his sister Mielikki HiNote Can't Keep A Secret AKA Scarlet, co owned with Margaret

LOVE his little brindle face

Starting to teeth, but loving what I see here!

Scarlet, the wiggle worm, just shy of 4 months!

So very very happy with these babies!
