I think I am done working on Hannah and will now attempt a background. Not sure what the purchaser wants for a background yet so, I am going to make a print of Hannah and try out some different ideas I have. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The Dogs Descend
Dominic had his friend Mary over on Saturday. They worked on a jigsaw puzzle most of the afternoon. As soon as Mary sat down on the couch, the dogs descended like a plague of locusts. She was a good sport about it! I love that he’s able to have friends over again.
Dear sweet Lucy... I actually don't have much to say this week so will leave it at that!

Recently BLM hosted the Whid Isle and Inland Empire Brittany Clubs to run dogs on two different "courses" in what are called braces. The courses included Puppy, Derby, Gun Dog, and All-Age. The dogs ran on Goose Butte in the BLM’s Spokane District. This has been the site for field trials for three Brittany Clubs for more than a decade. The most recent trial included with competitors from Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, California and Canada!
John Henderson, a handler and judge for different braces said this BLM location is fantastic for the trials. "
First of all, it's centrally located for a lot of the club members and it's a great place to let the dogs loose. The folks here from southern California and the west side of Washington and Oregon don't have anything like this near them. These two courses are so big and it's chukar habitat so the birds we release feel at home," said Henderson.
Henderson said more than 500 birds were released over the three trials so the Brittanys could demonstrate their ability to find birds, point staunchly and remain steady to wing and shot. Most field trial dogs are handled from horseback because these patches of BLM land are too rough and expansive to cover on foot.

Hewo 52 weeks friends. Spiggs here... I apologize for my mommy not uploading a photo until this afternoon... but she has been very busy trying to secure a new home for us starting March 1st. She is also very sad today... I'm not sure why, but her eyes were quite swollen this morning, I gave her a big hug just in case she needed it...my mom Baccha was keeping her company in the house- Shes a much better snuggler than me! This photo was from yesterday after I did bite work getting ready for my Schutzhund, IPO 2 competition. I am resting by the car with my "passifier", also known as a sleeve. I love this thing alot. alot. alot. I also like fighting with our decoy- Michael. We have been learning alot these past months and my mommy seems to be pleased... which makes me feel like a team! YAH! So my face here... while I dont look excited, I am concentrating really hard on keeping my full bite on my Wubba.... because I know my momma is about to "OUT" me and put me back in my crate. I must enjoy while I can! See you next week!
"Momma" here: I apologize folks for being so absent this week, as mentioned before, I just signed a lease on a 5.5 acre horse farm and little house which I have been coordinating all week and has taken a lot of time in-between jobs and training. That said, I will be moving out as of March 1st... and I had to break the news to my 4.5 year boyfriend last night... needless to say. It has been a hard day. <-- hence my crossroads photo earlier I will catch up on comments tonight and this week, promise.
Technically... this photo is not all that great. But as Spiggs mentioned above.. his facial expression is just as he said. He's very serious when we get back to the car because he knows I will let him be for a min, then I have to out him and put him away = not his favorite. This photo does show his full bite on the sleeve that he is very good at and you can sorta see him grinning beneath the seriousness. I have great plans for this Valentines week... hint: tramp and spaghetti
Last Monday Mr Chiots and I stopped by a local orchard to buy some apples to make applesauce & apple butter. It’s a great little orchard that is as organic as you can get and still have apples. They use the bare minimum of treatments on their trees. They also try to keep their business small and do things the way they’ve always done it. It’s such a cute little place, when you drive up you’re greeted by 5 dogs that are very happy to see you.
All the apples are stacked under a huge tree beside their house. The owner explained to us that he could buy a second cooler, but then he’d have higher electric bills and then he would have to work more. So he just stores his apples outside and sells what he can before they all go bad.
They had cats patrolling the crates the crates for mice and I’m sure the dogs kept the deer, opossums and raccoons away.

Additional update: I have received a written (email) apology from one of the editors of the KARK (news station) website. Apparently they had my image in a bank of photos they use for stories. (and who knows how many other images not in the public domain). They took down the picture. The story about the dogs in the forest has gone national (do a Google news search on dogs national forest if you want to follow this).
Update: 6/16/88
To the editors of ArkansasMatters re: a terrible story about the mayor of a local town having dogs from a local shelter turned loose in a National Forest and disbanding local shelter facilities. Not only is the story bad enough - the web site editors STOLE MY IMAGE without permission to use on what they are calling their top story.
This is a followup to the original story.
Here is what I wrote to the news website.
Concern: I would like to inform you that you are using a stolen image on your top story(6-16-08) about the dogs turned loose in the National Forest. Not only is this a terrible situation for the dogs, and speaks badly for the autorities in your region, you yourselves are setting a terrible example by using copyrighted material on your website. The dogs in the image are my dogs - from my rescue. I took the photographs and made the collage myself - I hope you will publish my comment with an apology. I also want people to know that the dogs in the image have either been adopted into safe homes, or still reside at Dogs Hope where they will have a safe and healthy home for life.
Original description: Here are some of my dogs. I was going to put Christmas hats on them, but I think I will leave it the way it is. Top row: Margit, Emmie, Belle, Dani. Middle row: Bess, Charlie, Missy. Next to bottom: Jimmy/Barnaby (aka Bebe or Baby), Bess (how did she get in here twice?), Dewey. Bottom: Rosie, Robin.
Someone commented this weekend that Rundle is always smiling. It is true. He is such a happy. social boy and he really does always have a smile on his face. Now if he can only learn that he can be happy with all four feet on the ground as not everyone appreciates a smiling but leaping and bouncing Berner puppy :)
