Alison set her sights on a Bronze Grand Championship for Kiri and after a pandemic delay, this goal was achieved.

This is a significant accomplishment, one that took dedication from her humans — and a lovely dog, of course. Kiri’s points were all owner-handled — also a big deal. Congratulations Team Kiri and thank you, Alison, for your commitment to demonstrating that a smart working dog can also be a beautiful show dog. WELL DONE!

Peter, who lives in the Bay Area, met me in Boise. My niece, age just barely 15, will be spending two weeks with me in Montana. Her name is Rosemary — like my mom. I have lots of Happy Camper adventures planned!

The Little Family is MOVING into their very first house. It is a red hot housing market in Boise and so some parental support was needed — I am here to sign, sign, sign with them today at the closing.

That family has spent the pandemic in about 600 square feet — their upstairs master bedroom had to be turned into a work-from-home office space. I cannot even imagine how they have done it. The new house will feel like a mansion. They will have a yard at last. Daisy will be going home in two weeks — Bethany will get her dog back. She cries just imagining it…

Happiness will be overflowing in Boise today — your good wishes for their new home are so appreciated.
