Merry Christmas everyone!

May your homes be filled with happiness,

your hearts with love and joy,

and for every little Sheltie,

let there be a special toy!

Merry Christmas!

Mardi's Nutcracker Audition

Here's a quick video of Mardi out in the little bit of snow we have here. It makes me laugh, so thought I'd share....

Happy Halloween!

Birthday Boys

Over the weekend Mardi and his friend Rhys celebrated their July Birthdays with a wonderful party hosted by Rhys' Mom Adriana. Mardi turned 2 this month, and Rhys turned 1.

Mardi eyes the prezzies...

Rhys and Mardi can smell the nummies, but are still being good...

...until Mardi dives in!  LOL

We had such an enjoyable afternoon watching the Shelties play as Aimee and her friend Holly
were also there.

Thanks Kathy and Adriana for the pics!

A few more pics from the Vic City Show weekend

Thought I'd share a few more photos from the last day of the show! Spring has really sprung here on Vancouver Island...

Victoria City Kennel Club Show News!

What an exciting weekend it was for us at the Victoria City Kennel Club! This was Teddy's first show, and Aimee's second show weekend with Kathy. Teddy did us proud and was awarded Winners Male and Best Puppy in Breed on Saturday, earning 2 points towards his Championship, handled by our friend Adriana Sisco.

Then it was his Mommy's turn in the ring - moving superbly and showing like a dream with my daughter Kathy, Aimee thrilled us all by winning Winners Female, Best of Winners, Best of Breed over Specials, then ended the day winning Group 2nd for a big 5 point win!

Kathy, you've done an amazing job training Aimee and showing her to all her wins! Thank-you! You are my beautiful girls and make a beautiful team - I'm so proud of you!!  

Thank-you Adriana for taking Teddy in the ring...you guys looked great!

And thanks to everyone at the show for the many nice compliments on our Shelties! It was wonderful to see so many friends there to cheer us on!

Teddy and I go back to school

This week Teddy started his training to learn how to be a show dog! He's 11 months old now, and soon realized this wasn't another puppy kindergarten class ("no playtime with the other doggies in the center of the ring Mom?")

And I realized I need to practice walking in a straight line - LOL  

Lookin' good Teddy!  His registered name is "Kel-Lani's Trending Now"

Happy New Year!

  
You can sure see the family resemblance in this photo of Aimee with her half brother Rhys (who's owned and loved by Adriana Sisco)

Wishing each of you a Happy New Year and that 2013 brings you all love, happiness, and friendship!
