Dog show

The first weekend of October, yes opening day of the elk season we went to Dallie Jo and Deuce's first ever Dog show. I was REALLLY nervous about going. I thought to myself, "We are going to be the laughing stock of the show. We don't belong here. I've seen the uppity people there and I don't want to be one of them."

Well with all that said, we REALLY enjoyed ourselves. We made some new friends and learned alot! We learned that our little Deuce is super naughty and needs obedience training and that our Jo is the cutest little show women.

This is Dallie showing the Scott's dog, Ivy. Ivy knew just what to do and was so patient with Jojo. There were a total of three shows that day and Dallie and Cody showed in two of the three.

The first show we threw Jo in the ring and she ended up taking 2nd (of two kids) and then tied for first in the second go round. After the first show the Scott's showed her a few tricks and she was able to watch others show; she just thrived! She loved every minute and I enjoyed seeing Jo in her element. She loves the animals and loves to preform.

We might not have won our first show but we did win the costume contest! As far as Deuce goes, he was very, very, very NAUGHTY! He wouldn't stand, he wouldn't walk, he wouldn't trot... 

Look how naughty Deuce was. He is usually such a good little walking companion but with 30 other dogs there, he lost his mind! Cody was so embarrassed that he wouldn't walk!

The true reason we chose to go to the show was so Dallie could get more experience showing and learn how to be an all around showman. We want her to be confident in what she does and even with these two, low key shows you could really see a boosted in her confidence. She was the cutest girl there and she was on cloud nine feeling so proud of how she had done.

The high light of the WHOLE show was when she came out of the ring the first time after being awarded 2nd and she said, (with a HUGE smile on her face!) "The judge said I could be #2 this time!" She felt so happy to be getting 2nd!

11months old

This post a little bitter sweet, my sweet, little Cooper Rose is 11 months old. That's right, 11 months old. WHERE did this last year go! She is wayyyy to little to be almost a year! With that said, here is a little bit about Rosie.

-Cooper loves to play in the pots and pan and knows just where to find them when I'm in the middle of cooking dinner.

-Cooper  hasn't been a very good sleeper lately, she had her first ear infection last week. I hope she doesn't follow in there sister's foot steps and have to get tube. Fingers Crossed!
-She really likes Deuce now. She calls for him in the morning but when he comes near she kicks as fast as she can. I believe this is because she's super excited and because she doesn't want him to get too close. She does the same thing when the horses come near.
-Rosie really loves to ride on the four wheelers. She bounce in her place until you go and growls when  you stop. She also loves when Gpa Brent takes her for a ride on the razor.
-She's started to turn her nose up at baby food. She'll eat two certain kinds but she would rather eat off our plates. (I don't blame her!)
-She is a little racer. When she gets her little push cart, there isn't anything that could stop her. She is from one side of the room to the other in a blink of an eye.
-She's started crawling normal, no more peg leg crawling for her. she can get around a lot faster!
-She's wearing size 12 clothes with an exception of a few 8-9 month and a few smaller 18 months.
-She still only has 6 teeth (ONLY!)
-Cooper is going to be her dad's little show-women. She loved sitting and watching the dog (pics to come)

-I'm pretty sure she's on the verge of walking. She doesn't love to walk with your fingers she prefers her push card. 

-she really likes her Aunt Quincee. This week while we were watching Jo at tumbling and Cooper crawled over and sat on a lady's lap who kinda looked like Quincee and just sat, completely relaxed. 

-she loves, I mean really loves the blanket my Gma Carma made Dallie when she was a baby. It's so soft and she loves to hold it to her face when she sleeps. She will actually put her self back to sleep if she has hr blanket. It's pretty cute to see how much she loves it.
-Still no hair! You can see a little coming in, but she's still our bald beauty!

Happy 11 months to her, looks like I better to get planning her bday party and presents! AWE! That's a scary thought!
