STAND........STANLEY

A few years ago the Canadian Kennel Club added a new class to their conformation shows. It is for puppies 3 months to 6 months old. What would you call this class...Baby Puppy Class of course. It is a good way for the babies to get some ring experience and they get to hang out with the big guys. And that is exactly what Stanley did this past Sunday. While he waited for his turn in the ring, he took a real shine to a little miniature Dachshund and they played and played. Sorry, but Stanley's human forgot to take the camera so you will have to take my word for it that they had lots of fun. By the end of the day little Stanley was one tired puppy. The ride home was over 2 hours and we never heard "a word" from him.

BRIGHTHOPE FLAG FOR FREEDOM

This picture was taken today after Stanley had a few days rest.

FEELING " BLUE"

We are still under water here at Brighthope, so I made the right decision to cancel the picnic. So instead of sitting around feeling sorry for myself we headed out for a few days of camping. The Brighthope Blues certainly must like camping because they are always so well behaved.

STANLEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING???

Taking pictures of dogs is a lot like children........there is always one in the group not cooperating, in this case it was Stanley. Oh well, puppies are puppies are puppies!!!

BRIGHTHOPE BLUE PICARDY PICNIC

I have held off posting about the picnic because what I joked about in the winter is now here. We are still under water here at Brighthope. The water table is very high and the ground very saturated.
We will have to cancel the picnic and keep pumping water. Yes we have even hooked up a pump outside, but to no avail, there are new springs everywhere.
I am not complaining because we finally have some warm weather. We just were able to get our dogs out to Picardy Park after putting up more fencing, even still they come in covered in mud!!
So the 2014 picnic is cancelled.

STANLEY AND GIBBS

Stanley and Gibbs spend a beautiful day in the sunshine. Gibbs will be leaving for his new home tomorrow and all the other puppies are with their new families so Stanley will be missing his brother. He will have to start hanging out with the adults....boring.

CATCH ME IF YOU CAN

Happy Easter

YEAH, WARM WEATHER

WHICH WAY SHOULD WE GO??
