Zoey Puppies visit - K2 & Mick (Mac)

Today, we met with Lesley and David to see a couple of Zoey's puppies.  They are still so cute.  K2 is Lesley's next show potential and Mick (formerly Mac) is looking for his forever home.  Mick is staying with Team Beagle for a couple of weeks for some tricks training - he already knows sit, working on spin, twirl, rollover and beg.  Mick loves to play fetch and he even brings it back to you - pretty smart puppy!

Here's Mick (Starbuck Torbay McKinley)

Tulip named Abba

Last fall, I found tulips that were named Abba.  So of course, I got some and planted them.  They are a beautiful red tulip - this one bloomed the other day and with the sunshine today looked great.

Final 2010 Performance Standings for Beagles

So the final 2010 nation-wide beagle performance results are in and Brew placed 4th with 86 points.  Not bad since we didn't even attend that many shows.

Mac & Zac Visit

Abba's puppies Mac and Zac came for a visit today. First off was a walk and then back to the house for some play time. All had a great time even the humans. It always amazing me how much I can see Abba in all of her puppies - in their looks and in the way they move.

Beagles have fun in the snow

Yesterday, Kevin and I took the beagles for a walk in the snow.

No comments about my running, I was trying to keep the ropes untangled and not trip over them.

Brew gets a Beginner Novice Title

Back in January, Brew and I competed at the Portland show. We entered the Beginner Novice trial on Thursday and Friday. On Thursday, Brew got his final leg. While he looked good for most of the run, we did have a little mix up while doing the "FAST" exercise. Brew was thinking "now its time to run and get out of here." We finally got back in control and finished with no more mishaps. Finishing with a score of 189.5 out of 200 and 2nd place.

On Friday, Brew was looking good until missing a sit on the figure eight and the dreaded Recall.  Of course, the recall was towards the gate and true to form Brew tried to run out.  Although, he did come back when I called him, so I guess we are making progress.  But it did result in an NQ.  Check out the score until the recall we had only lost 4 points.

Zoey's Puppies

Back in January, Kevin and I stayed at Lesley's taking care of Zoey's puppies. Here are some pictures that I took. Enjoy!

Goodbye Lily

Our friends, David and Lesley's whippet Lily passed on this week.  She had a great life - she was almost 15 years old.
