Rosy's first major!

Congratulations to Miss Rosy for getting her first major Saturday at the Muncie Kennel Club show! She definitely had her game face on and was a joy to show. Special thanks to Nancy for doing some last-minute spiffing on her ... she looked MAHVELOUS! Rosy says she's finally getting the hang of this Puffy Show Dog stuff, but she can't wait to get back to her SHEEP!

Happy Birthday Abby-Tigger Kids

August 12, 2010 ... It seems like only yesterday that Abby's Eleven hit the ground! Amy did a tremendous job of matching Abby with Tigger, supervising the breeding, getting Abby through her pregnancy and C-section, and then raising the pups to be happy, well-adjusted and obedient. They are typical of Amy's breeding program ... healthy, intelligent, well-structured, and sparkling in the ring and in the home. I can't thank her enough for letting Baby Bolt come to live in Michigan, he is a sweet-tempered boy and a joy. Following in his dad GCH Tigger's paw prints, he's already earned his CH, and I'm hopeful he might become half the herding dog his mom, HC Abby, is.

Bolt celebrated his birthday by taking a special walk in the park, all by himself. Then we went to the dog bakery, where he picked out a toy (a martini glass!) and some special dog cookies.

It all looks so good!

Apparently one must wear a silly hat before eating cookies.

I'm eating a butterfly!

The martini glass, deconstructed in 30 minutes. What took me so long?

So happy birthday to my sibs Dory and Elliot and Remy and Merlin (Boo) and Bella (Cinder) and Flora and Alice and Crush and Cooper (Nemo) and Buzz! You guys are the best!

And not to forget, happy birthday to Grandma Libby! 

Champion Dory!

Congratulations to Dory and Anne! Pending AKC approval, Dory will be CH Raglan's Just Keep Swimming. It was so fun to be there to see Dory finish at the Waukesha Kennel Club show. Dad Tigger, Mom Abby, Brother Baby Bolt, and Auntie Rosy are very proud of you both!

Deal!

Made in the USA! And only $5 at TJ Maxx. I am a doggy Maxxanista ...

Grown Up Dory

It was so fun to see Dory again at the Valparaiso show, and to meet her new mom, Anne. Dory is turning into a pretty young lady. It was awesome seeing how bonded she was to Anne ... they make a great team!

Happy Birthday Cornerstone Kids!

This is an important week in Cornerstone history ... Rosy (Cornerstone Revelation at Raglan HSAs) celebrated her third birthday yesterday, and Tigger (GCH Cornerstone's Wonderful Thing) will celebrate his third birthday on Thursday! Three years ago Rita certainly had her hands full, first with the MaraXBeli litter (9 puppies!) and then a few days with the FlashXBubbles litter (9 more puppies!) Rita did an awesome job of raising these kids. I am so blessed that Rita let me take home my lovable maniac. And it's been wonderful to have Rosy here for a while, she is so sweet and funny. She and Tigger picked right up where they left off as little puppies. So happy birthday to Rosy and Sterling and Zsa and Lila and Tigger and Nibbs and Ivy and the rest of the kids! And also to Petal at the Rainbow Bridge.
