Congratulations to ET’s owner, and co breeder of both dogs, Linda Draper, of Eternal Moon Rottweilers in Apex, NC.

I also had fun showing some Norwich terriers, and a Mini Bull Terrier!

See you at the dog shows!

This is definitely a first for me! Congratulations go out to co-breeder and Breeder/Owner Handler of ET, Linda Draper, of Eternal Moon Rottweilers. Linda is also co breeder on KK.

Tomorrow is another day, and I’m really looking forward to it!

It is impossible really to put into words how much I have grown to love the Robison family while I have been here. I have been treated like a member of their family, and they certainly feel like family to me. You can bet I will be back in Florida to visit them often!

I will also miss my doggy friends here, Deb and Blase, Janet, Cathy, and many others. Florida dog people have been very welcoming and friendly to me, and I will always look forward to coming back down here for visits and dog shows.

Tomorrow is Dr. Smith.

Katie showed in her usual fabulous manner, going around the ring like a freight train. She is doing better about not pulling on the lead on the down and back, and free stacked really nicely.

:D

Today was a great day. Half day of work, then I came home and bathed and groomed Katie in preparation for the dog shows this weekend in Deland. As usual she loves her time on the grooming table. She has fresh short nails, and is clean as clean can be after her bath and blow out.

Numbers are out for the second Brooksville cluster, and they are BIG BIG BIG. Huge majors every day, and 11 to 14 Specials each day. We can’t wait to get there.

I also conditioned all my leather collars and leashes today with mink oil. I love doing this. I love the smell, and I love how the leather feels afterward. I have quite a bit so it took some time. I use the mink oil that is solid almost like butter, in a little tin like shoe polish. I take some in my hands, rub it back and forth to warm it and distribute it on my hands, and then I rub it into the leather paying special attention to stress points like handles, and where the leather holds buckles, and snaps. Once I have it all coated and rubbed, I hang it up for the oil to go in overnight. I can’t wait to use it after I do this. :D

Also tomorrow Iffie goes for another Progesterone test. She was coming up nicely at 2.4 on Tuesday. Hoping for breeding early next week! After I take her for bloodwork, I am off to Deland to set up my crate and etc for the dog shows this weekend.

Hope everyone is having a great New Year, I sure am!!

See you at the dog shows!
