Titan breaks out of Quarantine as Summer arrives in Quarantine. Mischa awarded multiple Best Neuter in Groups and Titans first shows - October 2012

6/10/2012 Today was Day 2 at Cooma with Veikko (Armahani Diamond Dansut (AI)), Mischa and Dolce entered. Arriving to mud pools we all huddled in the gazebo trying to keep ourselves and the dogs mostly dry. Dolce - Reserve Dog Challenge, Veikko - Minor of Breed and Mischa - Neuter of Breed. Really it was just an excuse to pick up Veikko as i had an important exchange to make.
Shell was on her way down from Sydney with very precious cargo onboard. Titan was finally free from quarantine. He met me in the driveway with a helicopter tail and lots of jumping and kisses.
He played for hours with Veikko and i'd like to thank Shell for helping exhaust him as he slept like a baby that night and i havent heard a peep from him any night since.

 

24/10/2012 - Summer (Lecibsin Sametti) touched down this morning in Sydney. Sometimes things just fall into place and we were very lucky Steph Betts was working that day at the QANTAS Airport and was able to take a photo and let us know she was ok. Mel Scriven arrives tonight and tomorrow we're off to Sydney to see my new girl.

25/10/2012 - My poor sweet girl is looking a little confused about being in quarantine. No doubt she misses her friends in the UK and wants a bit of peace and quiet away from the noisy pomeranian next door. She may also be a bit shy because of the celebrity dog 2 rows down. AJ is currently serving his time in quarantine. He was rescued from a dog fighting ring by Australian soldiers on a patrol in Afghanistan and with the help of the Australian public has made it to our shores. His owner was visiting at the time and it seems Summer liked him as she barked at him to get his attention. The first noise she'd made since we got there.
They'd also had the Bondi Vet in shooting something for his TV show. The fun never stops at Eastern Creek.
Summer finally got to try Devon. I looked for it in the UK but it wasnt to be found. She loved it and so i stuffed some in a Kong for her and she settled down for pats and a tasty treat.
I've enlisted the services of DogWalks to visit with Summer as i just cant get there enough to see her. Theyve assured me they'll take good care of her and better still, will post photos onto Facebook. She has more photos on Facebook than half the people i know. And why not? She's so photogenic

 

28/10/2012 -Shows Shows Shows!
We had a 3 day weekend for dog shows about an hour away at Tarago. We met with Shell and the lovely Veikko (half sister to Dolce). Mel had Quinn (another half sister of Dolce) up for the weekend.
I was showing Mischa and it was the young Titan's first shows. Each day we arrived with minutes to spare to get in the ring for Baby Puppy Sweepstakes. The first day Titan was delighted to see so many puppies and had a great time barking at them, trying to attract their attention.
As the judge approached for the exam i told them this was his first show so they'd take it easier on him but i needn't have worried. He stood there happily, wagging his tail and not bothered at all about having his teeth checked or the judge going over him. He even gaited in the ring in front of the other babies, like he'd been doing it forever. He didnt win anything but he's hardly at the cute and fluffy stage anymore. He's a very solid boy but right now he's a whole lot of legs with a wavy stripe down his back as his adult coat comes in. He was such a little star the whole weekend. Not a problem in the world. Happy to be in the trolley or in the ring and happily handled by others. I think Titan and I will be having a whole lot of fun together.
Quinn took out Best of Breed all 3 days and 2 Junior in Groups. Mischa surprised me by winning 2 Neuter in Groups. I hope she can do it again as she was a little surprised at having to go into the ring again and was a little flat. i think she needs more practice winning.
