I was told Bella got Honorable Mention in the ICCF Photo Contest

I have not gotten my Chronicle yet.
But, our friends told us that Bella
on Honorable Mention in the ICCF Photo
Contest for this issue. The Contest
was dress-up corsos. We dressed Bella
up as a biker and took her picture next
to my HOG. I will post a link to the
picture when I get my copy of the
Chronicle.

We got a note from camp the other day.
And it said Bella was doing fine. I
do miss her. We get to pick her up
on June 18. Two days early :-) :-)

I have been taking our 11 year old
cockapoo, Holly, to handling classes.
That way, I don't miss out on any
lessons.

See you at the Father's Day show in PA.

Chucky

Show tomorrow in NJ

Early to bed tonight for us all.

We are going to the ARBA show in New Jersey.
I will post Bella's results here after each day.

Last night we did ok in the show handling class.
I forgot her martingale show lead, I know that
was the root cause of us not doing that well. She
had her normal daily collar on. So it didn't
give her that show feel. As I always say, can't
blame the dog, gotta blame the handler. It is
my job to have her prepared, trained, & ready.

After the show weekend, Bella will be going to
Camp on Monday June 6th. She will be there for
2 weeks. Ah, the spoiled life of a show dog :-)
