Favorite Conformation Pix

Leavenworth, Washington

While I was helping Mom pick out the photo for "My Favorite Agility Pix" we came across some pictures she took when we went for a drive to Leavenworth. Leavenworth is a Bavarian style tourist town up in the Cascade Mountains. It is about 2 hours from Seattle. It is really beautiful there.

Well, as we were walking through the town they had wooden wine barrels planted with flowers. Mom said she had to shoot a picture of me surrounded by all the flowers. So she sends Dad and Rocky to be the lookouts and to make sure no one sees us. Then she picks me up and she plops me down right in the middle of the flowers. I was so scared we were gonna get caught and get in trouble. I couldn't even look at her.........

She begged me to please look at her, so I figured I'd give her one try to get the shot and that was it. I planned to get the heck out of there. If she got caught I was gonna pretend I didn't know her. I wasn't going to jail. I don't look good in stripes.

So, here is the photograph. I have to admit it came out great. Then again, with me for a model how can she go wrong?

NOTE: No animals or flowers were injured in the making of the above photo!!!!

I hope all of you like the photos I post on my blog. All of the agility and conformation pictures were taken by my Mom. She really likes taking dog pictures. So, here is another of my favorites.

It's Not Fair

Something has been bothering me for a long time. Mom and Dad give us cheese as a treat sometimes. Not an exotic kind of cheese but plain, American deli cheese. The problem is....they always refer to it as "Rocky Cheese". Now I know Rocky lived here long before I did but you'd think after nearly four years they'd name a treat after me. But no....

Well, I think Mom has ESP because the other day she gave us a little piece of bologna instead of cheese. She started calling it "Diego Bologna". I was so happy!! I heard her tell Dad that she is calling the bologna "Diego Bologna". She must have though I ate a lot of it too because I also heard her tell him I was "full of it".

Hmmmm!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Mom......

I know how much you love to have corned beef & cabbage for dinner on St. Patrick's Day. So, here is our Irish Blessing to you.

Love,

Pap is #8

I was reading my friend Bailey's blog the other day and saw this link.... http://www.divinecaroline.com/article/22063/68520-boy--world-s-ten-smartest-dogs. I was happy to see that my breed was #8 and the only small dog on the list. The description it gave was right on. Sounded just like me. Here's what it said.....


#8 Papillon - This deceptively cute, (I sure am) butterfly-eared dog is smarter, tougher, and stronger than it appears (it’s like the bionic dog). Often described as big dogs in little bodies, they have the athletic stamina to keep up on long walks, and the bravura of a canine ten times its size. The Papillon is a true companion and watchdog. Although they can be ferociously protective over what belongs to them, (Don't even think of touching my squeeky) their keen intelligence makes it possible to take them anywhere. (Did you hear that Mom? You can take me anywhere! Let's go!!) Let’s not forget they can be litter trained, (I don't know how I like that idea) a big plus.
