Detroit

It was a LONG weekend.  Mary (mom's friend and my breeder), Shelby (my daughter) Mom and I went to Detroit for the Cobo Hall show.  It was a benched show where you have to be available from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm Saturday and Sunday for people to meet and greet the breeds.  We met a TON of people. They were really great, asking lots of questions, giving lots of head and back rubs even some hugs.  I met this really really cute black lab puppy girl.  She was a D O L L.  Mom wasn't looking and I snuck a kiss.  Mom and I were so suprised when Heather (Clarence's mom) walked up with her husband and son.  I forget what the son's name was but we got our picture taken togather.  Clarence wasn't there cause only dogs entered in the show are allowed to come in the building.

We stayed in a motel and Mom took some pictures of Shelby and I in the room.  After a day at the show we came back and chilled on the beds.

Me

On Sunday we didn't go into the show ring until 12:30 so Mom got me cleaned up and then put me back in the crate.  I was not happy and got out.  She put me back in and then sat next to me with her arm across the opening.  I wanted to lay on the floor but she said I couldn't cause the floor was dirty and the judge wanted clean dogs in the ring.  So she put some bungee cords across the opening so I could look out and people could take pictures of me inside the crate.  As you can see I was NOT very happy but once we were done showing I got to lay down on the cool cement floor for the rest of the day.

Spectrum Hospital

Well, last night we visited Adult Oncology at Spectrum Hospital with Tater Tot, "Aunt" Mollie, Sully and Huston.  We had a very good visit with many of the patients.  I meet this one girl who was very nice to me.  She gave me a good head rub and even some treats.  I really like her and she had the coolest knit cap.  I wonder if Mom could make one for me.  In another patients room I met the patients little granddaughter.  She had on this pretty purple shirt and was quite the talker.  She really liked me and I gave her a picture of myself. Oh, I should tell you about my visiting buddies.  Tater Tot is a Great Dane, Mollie is a Newfoundland just like me, Sully is a Standard Poodle and Huston is a Border Collie.  We all get along great.  We have another visit coming up on Thursday night so I'll let you know about that visit later this week.
