Missing....

I know all the images on my blog page are not showing up.

Aprently my ISP is having some kind of server problem, I can't even get to their home page. All my pictures for the blog are stored on their server :(

At least my internet access is still here and I am getting mail.

Babe Continues to Amaze!!

This past weekend at the Denver Regional Specialty, 14 month old Babe won Best in Puppy Sweepstakes over an entry of 24 VERY nice puppies under breeder judge Jim Shea.

I should stop being surprised at all Babe's nice wins... but I can't help it. To me she is "jsut Babe" but when she gets out in the ring she just sparkles. That is, when she is not being BAD!

Babe CAN Jump!!

Can anyone explain this to me?

As I said earlier, Babe is 14 months old. As of Thursday afternoon she could not jump on my bed. Now that's not as bad as it sounds... my bed is not regular bed height. Instead it is actually slightly higher than say... a grooming table.

Even with it's higher than normal height, all my other dogs (except 13 year old Dakota) are on and off the bed all the time. Most can usually jump up around 7 - 8 months. But not Babe. Even 5 month old Max can use the "bedsteps" and get on the bed, but Babe never figured that out either.

Sunday evening, after returning home from the 3 day show weekend, Babe is jumping on and off the bed as if she never had a problem with it.

What changed? Did winning Best in Sweepstakes at the Denver Specialty elevate her self esteem and make her believe she can do anything? Did she get tired of young Max saying "nannie nannie boo boo" at her from his perch on the bed? Did she suddenly decide she is All Grown Up now???
