Ruff and Ridiculous Dog Show

Nana, Papa, and Bonnie attended today's Ruff and Ridiculous Dog Show put on by the Ray Brown Team (Re/Max). Our family has known Ray since doing Chitty Chitty Bang Bang together a few years ago. It was our kind of "dog show" - food, relaxed, all in fun. Each dog got a brief introduction as they walked the red carpet and at the end, as the grand finale for each, were asked to sit. The crowd roared (no matter what). And Lynn got her very first shot at taking a dog into a show - and won a prize - Best Sit! This may well have been the first time ever that a sheepdog won an obedience-related award.

4th of July at Palmer Lake

The bulk of the day was spent at Palmer Lake with darn near the entire family and a few friends! Burgers for dinner then fireworks at the Club for the balance of the day. A good time was had by all.

Snack when everyone got home

Meet "Bonnie Lass" !

After roughly 30 years without a sheepdog (we did raise German Shepherd guide-dog puppies and have a Doodle in the meantime), we're very excited to welcome Bonnie Lass to the household. Her name derives from Scottish/French meaning something like "Pretty Girl." She's going on 3 years old and weighs in at about 65 pounds. She comes to us from Bugaboo Old English Sheepdogs right here in Colorado Springs. Most of the older photos below were taken in the 1970s and early 1980s when we still lived in the Kansas City area. Pictured at the bottom is Jamie's family's sheepdog, Harriclown Hornblower, in the late 1960s or so. He would accompany Jamie and Lynn on most of their every-Thursday-night walks/dates on the Country Club Plaza (over 50 years ago!). As you might imagine, Harriclown drew much attention.

Our first meet-n-greet with Bonnie
about a week ago.

Way back when... (from here on down)

This is the dog that started it all back when Jamie
was in high school, Harriclown Hornblower.
