Sorry for the loss of your Junior. We took Rusty right after he was diagnosed to Ohio State University teaching hospital and they planned on doing 24 weeks of chemo but he died the first night. In hindsite that was probably best for him although we miss him terriby.

Your goat babies are precious. $10 bump!

[dutchess]

Very creative name! $10 being donated for kitty...the kitty! :o)

[freekitty]

LOL Please don’t tell me. He was only 3 months old there. First day was play, play and play in the show ring. Second day he actually went through the paces pretty well. I can see what you mean. The big girls are 3 1/2 and they look really good and mature in the show ring.

It used to be we would have to hide because they were always searching for us. However, Keeley pulled one in one of the shows. Peggy one of our handlers had not yet picked up the lead. As she started to, Keeley saw Rosey on the other side of the ring and decided she wanted to be next to her. Peggy picked up the lead and as she did; Keeley took off and the lead got caught in Peggy’s shoe. Down went Peggy(she is alright)but got right back up and galloped with Keeley to Rosey. Not exactly the gate you want them in; but it got her noticed. They were about to award the blue to Rosey; but the judge saw Keeley rounding the corner and loved her big chest. So you never know. LOL

I love it. Ruby is going to be great. I can see her now. Wait until she has the crowd to play too. LOL Rosey loves the crowd. She just shouts look at me; look at me? Keeley could care less if she ever entered the ring. It’s like I have smiled and stood pretty for the judge; can we leave? LOL

Shelley sounds like a doll. She knows exactly who she is.

“I’m wondering if it is time to start “pinging” those who post, but never donate.”

-

Seems reasonable.

However before you start singling out posters for your (understandable) frustration, you might want to keep in mind the default donation option is “anonymous”... ;)

That said: PLEASE DONATE!

Thanks.

[dutchess]

Oops...starwise beat me to it. Well...you precious pup is now posted twice!

[dutchess]

Great picture! Thanks for sharing. Up to $400 and counting!

Thanks for posting the challenge in honor of Rusty. It’s been fun looking at all the great pets.

[dutchess]

Awe...I just love that Weinie graphic. Gizmo is throwing in $10 for him!

[freekitty]

That’s great. You know those two are going to do it with ease. I am so happy for you. You are going to be really busy. Please keep me informed how they do.

I had to put Miss Keeley on a diet. She lost the weight and looks great. Her daddy, I discovered, when it was his turn to feed; was feeding her twice as much as she should have been. And we all know food is a passion with Keeley.

Thank you. We are going to take all 4 up to Canada and show. Not sure when.

[TexasBeth]

This is booboo kitty, and Sammy dog. Sounds like Rusty had a wonderful life with your family. What a lucky dog!

[dutchess]

Hope this counts. It's Ex Texas Redheads two godpuppies.

$10 in for Ex Texas Redheads godpuppies! Up to $420!

[freekitty]

Thanks.

[dutchess]

Mr. D.’s dog growing up was a border collie mix (named dutchess (thus my screen name). He’d do anything to find another one like her! $10 in for Benny.

[freekitty]

Oh, they are adorable. Is booboo kitty a blue point?

[dutchess]

Dutchess, your contest is a roaring success!

Thanks Lady Jag. Wish I could have been around more but got tied up with a home repair project (hate when that interferes with freeping! (((hugs))))

When Shelley was in one of her first agility trials, my hubby was videotaping her run from the side of the ring.

She was on the very top of the dog walk, that's this thing, it's about 5 feet off the ground:

. . . and she saw hubby filming. She LEAPED from the top of the dog walk, ran to the ring fence, jumped OUT of the ring, and ran up to him, "Daddy! Daddy! Hi! HI!" Oh, well, she got a DQ on that one . . . .

But she is the biggest ham that ever was -- she LOVES a crowd and she just grins from ear to ear at applause. I took her to a horse show one time and during the lunch break I just ran her over the hunter course. Most of the folks there had never seen an agility dog work, and they were amazed and applauded. Shelley got so excited she 'orbited' (running in circles while sitting down and cranking her tail like a corkscrew - it's a Lab thing, you have to be there!)

Miss Ruby is more of a challenger -- "Here I am! Am I not lovely? Of course I am - and you'd better agree! Enthusiastically!"

This isn't a very good picture, but this one's Calli. She's our troublemaker.
