It’s been busy around here, and technically, I’m still on vacation; but I wanted to share a little bit of an update for you on the canine crew.
I once again, was unable to make it to the Small Dog MeetUp group event. I would love to go to these, and rotate taking the dogs, they could use the socialization, but alas, none of them are exactly close to me (about an hour or so away for all the events) and time is usually at a premium here (and so are gas prices!), so I’m not sure if I’ll be able to participate in this group any time soon. Maybe some day. They do have a new dog park in Washington, and have events there at least one Saturday a month - that might be a better option for me; but none of these events seems to occur on days I’m available. *sigh*
Update: everyone is doing exceedingly well. Henry just celebrated his 1st birthday on July 3rd! Happy Birthday Henry!!
Georgie is getting big as well - he turned 5 months old on July 5th. Here he is with my 6 year-old Hannah.
Here’s Charles - peeking over a chair.
And finally, Hope. What a sweet girl she is!

It has been awhile since I’ve updated here - sorry about that. Georgie is now 4.5 months old and doing extremely well. He’s so stinkin’ cute!
And here’s Hope, snoozing at my feet.
I am giving very serious thought to showing Georgie in AKC conformation. I’m hoping to attend/join a local all-breed kennel club that’s near me; and hoping I can find someone willing to mentor me a bit in showing. We shall see. Either way, I intend to enter Georgie in the local dog show that have here in Sullivan each September. He turns 6 months in August, so will be old enough for the 6-9 month old puppy class for the September show.
I’m also considering agility for Henry and Jack (my Shih Tzu) and possibly seeing how Charlie and/or Hope might do as therapy dogs. I have never done anything but basic obedience classes with any dog I’ve ever owned; but I’m wanting to try new/different things to do with them. I guess I won’t know how I, or the dogs, like doing these activities until we at least try.

Here’s Charles, my less than eager photo subject. He truly does not like to get his photo taken for some odd reason. But sunning on the deck this morning was the perfect opportunity for me to grab some snapshots of him. He’s truly beautiful!!
