And thank you for enjoying the crate signs - it makes me feel like in some small way, I was there with you. XOXO (share some of the hugs with your humans, and Rosey, too)!

Hi Aunti Peggy,
We got compliments on the pretty crate signs. Hopefully you can be with us next year in Reno. I have a donation if you have a rescue raffle.

Hi All,

Mom has finally awoken from a long post-Nationals nap and is going through the photos. There are 230 photos of Rosey and I in our various events. This photo, in particular, caught Mom's attention. Look in the bleachers.

I think I see Sheila V behind a camera?

This isn't fair because I was there...just not in the bleachers.

I see at least 5 forum members, plus Colleen.

A grand time was had by all.

These photos were from my 4Q perfect day.

The photographer for performance events took over 200 pictures of Rosey and I. Don't worry, you won't have to look at them all.

Great photo's Colleen and Solo! I don't see anything "ugly" in the last pictures. Unless, Solo hit the bar?

Colleen K · **Joined:** Fri Sep 10, 2010 10:31 pm **Posts:** 1520

Dawn,

The only bar that Solo dropped was a triple jump that was the last obstacle on the course. The second photo is ugly because Solo is not in a good tuck position.

I see Colleen. He looks great to me though! I love the expressions on his little doggie face when he lands. You know, you can count my knowledge on one half of a finger, so I surely can't see the lack of tuck position.

Good morining Solo,

Thank you sharing photos with us. Can I see photos of Rosey? You are such an excellent Canine reporter.

Hi Solo,

Wow...Miss Rosey sure does look beautiful. Your mom must spend a lot of time practicing with her because like you said, she is perfect. I love you meet you someday hopefully soon. We live in Maryland.

Solo, I am going to let you in a little secret which my two cockers don't know yet and please don't tell them okay. You ready? well on August 11, I am going to bring a little springer spaniel home. His name is Hunter. His breeder live in Hanover PA so we have been traveling to see hime every week. I am so excited. Do you have any tips on how to introduce the new puppy to the cockers? or any advice I should know?

Thank you very much Solo.

Solo
Tell mom that any jump that all the bars stay up on, is a good jump. Even if'n it's not purdy. We all can't be perfect like Miss Rosey :wink

Can't wait for the videos!

Hi Auntie Lieu,

I have two springer cousins. Freckles is 8 yrs old and very smart. He knows how to go fetch a can of beer for my Uncle. Mom said if I am going to fetch drinks, I need to learn to make PAWTINIS :gig

. My other springer cousin is Fran, she is only 7 months old and is a complete idiot

. My advice for your new springer puppy is to idiot proof your house.

All the best,

:cool

Hi All,

Boy it is good to finally have access to the computer. Mom has been hogging it for days making a movie about the Divine Goddess of the Cosmos :roll

(what's it going to take to get her to make a movie about me????!!!! :dk

)

Anyway, I have lots of things to catch you up on. On one of our quick trips through The Cities we stopped and met Penny.
