Our weekend

Hi All,

As you all know Lucy and I went off to shows up in Olympia this past 
weekend.  We did okay, placed 2nd out of 3 on Sat. and 1st out of 3 on Sun. 
against two pro handlers on Sun.  But Lucy was not on, and we did not get 
past our class.  It's hard to come down from her previous totally awesome 
winnings :-)  But she is just a puppy and well these were her first away 
shows....  AND she had way too much fun at Peggy and Kurt' house:

The best part of the whole weekend!  If your ever in Olympia it's a must to 
go stay with Peggy and Kurt!  The hospitality is beyond description.  Their 
home is a HOME filled with love and comfort!  It was great to spend time 
with Katie and Kip.  Let me tell you about Kip, she is the most awesome dog 
who has just the most wonderful gentle demeanor, she is 17 years old but 
acts like oh I would say 5.  Can you say stole my heart?  I can...   Katie 
was also a joy to be around in her own environment, she was the perfect 
host for Lucy and Punch.  I took Punch along for the ride, she had just the 
time of her life....  So many toys, oh she just had a great time....  Oh 
and then there was Mayshia, <sp> who has got to be the most brain dead cat 
I have ever met.  he was totally oblivious to the fact that there were 
strange dogs in his house. Rubbed up against the dogs like he had known 
them since they were puppies took them on a couple of adventures and he 
even liked me, till I tried to brush him that was.  Tough he did not hold a 
grudge came back for more after I gave in on the brushing, he is a long 
hair tabby... On the other hand the other feline,  Lopez or Joey as he is 
called took off and skirted the whole adventure more like a normal cat 
would. :-)

All in all it was a very nice weekend...   Thanks to Peggy & Kurt for their 
hospitality and the towel warmer in the bathroom!  Oh my goodness, if you 
are in Olympia and need a show, pay Peggy & Kurt to let you use their shower!
