Seven Is Enough

We had guests this weekend. Catherine and her friend, Deb, came down from Williams Lake to compete in the Richmond Dog Show. Catherine brought Briar, Chaos, Will; and Deb brought Bailiff and her new puppy Beamer. Of course, with Kirby and Indy in the mix as well, it made for a very full house -- lot of action, lots of panting, and lots of drooling mouths.

For the competitors, it was a very successful weekend. Bailiff, Briar, and Chaos each won a number of ribbons. In addition, thanks to Chaos, Catherine won several prizes including a chair, soft kennel, toys, and other treats. Everyone was very happy with the results.

Of course, with every visit from Catherine and the dogs we have to do the requisite poses. This time the ribbons made for the purpose -- and what a great reason!

And inbetween trials, there was always some time to do a little extra training and socializing.
