Lexi and Milo meet for the first time... In there own home town Kelowna Canada!

Hey Chris,

Here are a few shots from Thursday's "meeting of the West-ies"!! Milo and
Lexi got along very well after the butt sniffing festival!!! It was like
they already knew each other. Milo was completely enamored with Lexi and
she found him to be quite charming as well. Lexi is very much an only child
though and would not share Milo's many toys, a bit of a snot really!! Milo
doted on Lexi and let her have the run of his place (even Nemo seemed a bit
charmed by the little lady in white!!!) The two are so similar and other
than Lexi's more mature and longer fur, very difficult to tell apart.

I also included a few pics of Tess with "her" dog snuggled on the couch.
Tess had been lounging watching a show and Lexi took the opportunity to jump
up and snuggle down!! Too cute.

Clarissa update...

As you can see here Clarissa has a pretty good life, couch potato and run of the house with all her important toys to herself. Her owner Chris takes her to Green lake regularly for walks around the park where I am sure she receives plenty of attention...

Thanks for making a wonderful home available to Clarissa Chris!

Sara and I in Albany Oregon at an AKC conformation event. Zoe news as well...

Ok.. Here we are in Action!


Sara is just about 7 month old now and by this picture you can see who is paying attention...lol

Sara showed wonderfully but as her only competition were two champion Westies we were defeated... We did received great compliments from the judge and on lookers coming very close to winning we were later told. Give Sara a little more time and maturity, she will be a huge winner in the ring! Sara sends a shout out to her litter brothers and sisters by the way as well.

Zoe, my 9 month old Norwich Terrier won HUGE on Saturday with a Best of Breed win for her second of the two required majors being well on her way to an AKC conformation title at a very young age... She defeated two champion Norwich Terriers, one shown by Bill McFadden who you will recall won at Westminster a few years ago with a Kerry Blue Terrier by the name of Mick. Zoe is a fantastic show dog and very loving and loyal at home as well. New pictures to come soon..

Pepper update...

Did I send you these ones before? Miss Pepper decided that she liked chewing on Susan's glasses that were on the nightstand, not one pair but two!!! We found a flavor she doesn't like now!!
I will send you some more pics once we get home, they are on my home computer.

Pepper has become a member of the family in a big way. Right now she is watching me from the couch waiting for me to come over and sit down and watch TV with her.

She not only enjoys her twice daily walks, she demands them by running to the door everytime I walk by if it is close to walkie time. She particularly likes chasing bunnies to the extent of her leash, but once she sees one she thinks there is one behind every bush.

My mother in law, who doesn't like dogs, or any other animal for that matter, has volunteered to look after Pepper if we ever need her to..

You don't have to worry about her, she is getting more loving and attention than she can handle, and she is loving it.

Words can't describe this...

hi chris!

milo is wonderful.
he's already a big part of our family.
nemo and milo are best of friends and continue to wrestle incessantly.
the boys new best friend refuses to be left out of bubble baths.
he also insists on showering with sean and I.
the boys haul him around everywhere and he tolerates it all, in fact, he seems to like it.
he loves to fetch his rubber chicken and figure he learned this game from nemo.
he's close to being house trained and is almost done his first obedience class.
he can sit and stay but doesn't like to come yet and isn't too keen on lying down on command.
he's a very sweet soul and we love him to bits even know he gives us a run for our money!
hope all is well,

jody

Dear Uncle Chris – It’s been too long since I wrote to you but my life has just been a whirlwind of activities and travel. I know it’s a lame excuse but it is a valid one. Mom just can’t seem to sit down long enough to get my pictures in order. As you’ll see, I wasn’t standing still long enough for the camera to catch up to me. I think I’ve been renamed ‘Blur’ among other terms of endearment. Hopefully you’ll accept this very belated Merry Christmas. I just know that you’re having a wonderful New Year.



We traveled to my Gramps and Grandma’s house in Southern California for Christmas. Just about everyone was there including my 6-month old darling niece Eden. She came all the way from Tennessee just to see the clan that gathered over the holidays. WOW!! I had fun opening my very first Christmas stocking and was just a busy little girl playing with all of the goodies that just kept coming and coming.



There was so much movement, that we’ve also put together a little movie (on YouTube) that you might enjoy. It’s open to the world; so feel free to share the link if you like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l1PpIpm9pQ



Happy New Year! Sending lots of hugs your way,

Cassie





PS: Daddy talks about you almost every day. He just can’t thank you enough for allowing me to become part of their family. Gee… I must be doing something right. ;-)

Zoe wins BIG her first time out in AKC conformation!

Please excuse our picture but trust me it was
the best we could do. It seems Zoe is not much
into having her picture taken but that did not
stop her from winning big at our first show
together in Albany Oregon.

Zoe was reserve winner her first day out of 10
Norwich girls which I was very happy about
because it was our first time in the ring together.
Sunday was her day though... She was Best of
Winners and Best Opposite Sex for her first points,
a 3 point major which is huge for a 7 month old
puppy. We had a great time and look forward to more!!!

Look out world, here we come!
