Memphis Toy Dog Show

Well this four day dog show was off to a bad start in the beginning. The lift cable on the Papillon Motel (the pop up camper) ... well ... POPPED. So, we had to go with Plan B on the accomodations for the four day show. ( That would be Motel 6).... :)

Kix won Reserve Winners Dog on both Thursday and Friday and won best papillon puppy in the under 12 mos. Puppy Sweeps competition Thursday and Friday. (He won a whopping $7.80)

Thursday and Friday was not Majors so we did not show Mimi since she only needs one major to finish. Mimi didn't score her major this weekend, so the chase continues for her. She's hasn't been her normal cheerfull self in the ring lately so we decided to bump her up from kennel dog to house dog in an attempt to cheer her up a bit. (Plus she still needs to lose about a pound)

Brooklyn won Winners Bitch on Saturday for a three point major !!! That brings her up to 14 points toward her championship. Way to save the weekend Brooklyn !!! Now we're just chasing one stinking point. (But that's a "good thing")

We really need to hurry up and finish somebody because our girls are all blowing coat like crazy. We're afraid that if it's not soon we'll have to wait till spring.

Not much to report from Sunday.

I can safely say that when we finally got home Sunday afternoon that we were all "Dog Tired".

More Later... Stay Tuned.....

Crab Orchard Kennel Club August 6 and 7

Ok, we attended the Crab Orchard Kennel Club event held on August 6 and 7. We left home right after work on Friday and arrived at the camp grounds at about seven o'clock in the afternoon. We arrived at about the same time as our other dog show friends that were also staying at the same camp ground. We were very happy to have friends staying near us. That always means that we'll have a nice weekend camping, sitting around, having good stuff to eat, and just having fun no matter what happens at the dog show.

The show was majors both days in both dogs and bitches. So everybody had high hopes to put a major on their dogs. (including us) There were tons of nice dogs there.

Kix won Reserve Winners Dog on Saturday. (not too bad for the little guy) (we're kinda proud of him)

Mimi and Brooklynn didn't win anything Saturday or Sunday.

Next stop Southaven MS in a couple weeks. Wish us luck.

Cheyenne

Sad days at Lawood Paps this weekend. We lost "THE" oldest member of our papillon menagerie. Cheyenne had just turned 14 years old.

She was also the smallest of all our dogs, barely 4 pounds soaking wet. Yet, she was the feistiest of all. What she lacked in stature, she more than made up in attitude. She didn't take any crap from anybody and even the puppies learned very quickly to not mess with Cheyenne or Cheyenne's stuff.

She will certainly be missed around here...............
