Christmas Time
-
The best thing under the tree is a Border Collie, and Tosca had her spot all picked out.
-
If we have to wear those stupid paper hats the dogs can all get dressed for Christmas as well.
-
There is no predudice in our home and there are several different breeds in our family, this is Ace the Husky.
-
Of course there is a chocolate Labradour as well, everyone loves chocolate.
-
And old Cooper might run the yard but even he has to put his hat on.
-
Ace enjoys time with his mum.
-
Let's just hang here quietly Cooper before we have to do the dishes.

Special thanks to Mark, my handler, who does such a good job, & to Gail for the help with my grooming (not too happy getting my feet done)"
"Sketch" at the Royal

Here we are the big Royal. Thanks Gail for trimming my feet & helping to groom me, even though I was sooooo naughty.
-
I'm flying and I don't break gait anymore.
-
Mark has those treats somewhere.
-
Waiting for the judge to "handle" me again I hope she has warm hands.
-
Thanks Mark I have no idea where my feet are supposed to be yet !
-
Does all my practice show?

Looking good....

I wonder if my mum is over there in the crowd watching?
