Jordyn & Stanley

Remember that little wonder of the conformation ring named Jordyn? I've featured her a few times as she's made her way in the show dog world. This time she's outdone herself, as reported below by her "Honey" aka her grandmother.

"Ok Jordyn kicked my butt again!!!

We went to a 3 day show where I showed Stanley the first day and Joe showed Stanley the second day. Neither one of us did any good with him. So out of the mouth of babies, we're sitting at the set up talking who ought to show Stanley on the third day and Jordyn puts her 2 cents in!!! Jordyn says "Honey you showed him the first day, Mr. Joe you showed him today it is only fair that I show him tomorrow."

Ok! We're talking about a 78 lb. male boxer!!! I told her would I have to think on it, she says "ok" and off she goes to walk dogs, get water and all she does at the show while Joe and I talk. I'm telling you folks this was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I let her show Stanley.

Not only did she win the class, Jordyn and Stanley went on to win reserve winners dog. This child never ceases to amaze me. She comes running out of the ring after she got RWD and says "See Honey I told you I could show him better then you and
Mr. Joe!"

Do you think I'm ever going to live this down?  I'm sending pictures of Jordyn showing Stanley. The look on her face is priceless!!!"

My reply to this? Jordyn rocks!

 

 

From me: LOVE Jordyn's smile in this one.

Another bird and Boxer story.

"This is a picture of our cockatiel Niko with Peanut Brittle.  We adopted Niko last year when he was 8 years old.  His previous owner must have had dogs as every time he sees the dogs he says "Scooby Dooby Doo."  He also must have been cuddly with them as he always wants to snuggle up to Peanut and Tank, and they have learned to leave him alone until we retrieve him, thus Peanut's look as if to say "get him before he's a toy."  One thing the dogs have taught him is the sound they make when mouth wrestling.  Whenever Niko wants attention he starts saying "Scooby Dooby Doo arrarrarrrarrarrar."  Sometimes he mimics their sound so well we think the dogs are actually playing.  :)"

Not Spring...

This week we've been having the kind of weather the Brindle is more used to in Canada. He doesn't mind the snow and with the company he has coming this weekend he wanted to offer up some warning of what's been going on around here along with some tips.

Don't eat yellow snow.

Might as well be cheerful about it

It can be pretty
