Excellent October

What a wonderful October we've had. Both pups did great at a CPE trial a few weekends ago, and I'm so proud of them.

Here's a picture of their ribbons from that first Saturday. They each had a perfect day. Mocha did all five events and Ninja did two :)

And here's a couple videos. Ninja's in level 1, and Mocha finished level 1 and is now in 2/3. (There are 5 levels in CPE Agility.)

This is Mocha's level 2 standard run. It was his first time seeing the teeter and weaves in competition. He did perfect and I'm so proud :)

And here's Ninja! He's very different from Mocha. Mocha is cautious and watches me very carefully. Ninja is... a ninja! He's fast, really fast, but he's still young and doesn't always watch. I hope one day he'll be a little more cautious, I worry about him hurting himself.

Well, so there they are, hope you enjoy seeing my furkids.

Almost August!

How did this happen?  Ok, since my last post, we've moved from Missouri to Ohio and we live in an awesome subdevelopment outside of Cleveland.  Here's us and the puppies enjoying the back deck :)

Then we went to Chicago and got married!!!!  It was an awesome day :)

Then we went to Jamaica for our honeymoon!  Just FYI, it's very hot there in June and apparently a little nicer in the winter.  We had no idea lol

And now Ninja, at 9 months old, is the same size as Mocha, who's 17 months old.  Guess he's gonna be a big doggie :)

So what's next?  I need to find a job!  But in the meantime I keep adding to my Etsy shop.  Check back often for new designs!  There're already some Christmas sweaters up there and a Halloween sweater is on it's way.

Here I am again

Hello all.  Been really busy the past couple weeks.  Started up my own website w/the handmade dog sweaters and collars which was fun and frustrating at the same time.  SEO keywords make my brain hurt.

I think it looks pretty cool ;)  Need to post it permanently to the blog somewhere somehow someday.

We discovered that Mocha is growing a dew claw.  It's pointy lol:

My grandpa LOVED to play with Mocha while we were at my dad's house.  He would literally play with him for hours with a different toy in each hand.  I thought it was hysterical.  It did wear Mocha out though.  This is what we call "Pancake Puppy"

This is Mocha living it up w/my grandparents.  They LOVED him, I'm telling ya.  And he didn't mind the attention one bit.  I wonder what they would think if they knew I had a picture of them on the internet. (My grandparents do not now nor will they ever have internet)

This is a picture of Nathan's parents, his sister and her husband and us w/Mocha at their house last week :)

Ok, that's it! Goodnight! :)

We're all doing well.  Went to Chicago twice, now I'm all wore out.  It's almost an 8 hour drive one way!  We're going back for Christmas.  This will be my first Christmas away from home :(  But I'll be with Nathan and Mocha so it'll be ok :)
