Mini Me!

We had an awesome time training at Master Peace. And we even found a miniature look alike for Spirit! How cute is that? We worked on obedience exercises, ran a rally course, and even tried our hand at Team Obedience in preparation for the National! See the photos by clicking on the title to this post.

2 Great Days for MMN at the Fitchburg Shows January 2010!

Big congratulations to Kiko and Maya for a 2 point win over very tough competition! ! And also congratulations for having the loudest applause and celebration after your win from the MMN supporters!! :)

Barbara's Ozzy went in the ring for the very first time today at just 19 months old and the judge commented to me that he acted like an old pro! He performed beautifully and impressed us all with how quickly he picked up showing. It's a testament to his excellent obedience training and trainers - Barbara and Molly.

Big kudos to Suzanne, who went in the ring for the very first time today and did fabulously with Ellie. No one could tell that Ellie was really a wild child in hiding ;)

It's hard to believe that it was only Mary's fifth time in the ring today - she and the no-longer-curly- coated Scarlet made a beautiful team and it's clear to see Scarlet LOVES the show!

I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love, cheering, encouragement and fun from all of those in attendance today (and all those rooting us on from home!) Win or lose, it was a wonderful morning spent with fabulous people and the world's best dogs. Today I felt like we all left with BIS ribbons because of the MMN gang :) (don't tell Mischief she didn't win Best In Show - she's currently lying on the couch ruminating her role as queen of the universe and fully convinced you all were there only for her!) Overall, all the newfs made us proud and all of you made me proud to be part of Mid-Mass...thank you again for being there for us and making it a wonderful day!!

p.s. Kiko and Maya won two more points on Sunday!

I feel pretty. . . . oh, so pretty!

What is Amos Laughing at?

Our first training day of 2010! It was great to have so many of us together for training today. What were there? 20 or so Newfies? A little rally, a little obedience, some group exercises, and we got the new guys fitted for harnesses! And in true MMN style, we ate a lot of food! MaryAlice - thanks for arranging for the space at Waggin Tails. Additional photos can be located by clicking on the title to the post.
