On the way home now, but, earlier in the day, Gideon made the final two cuts at the American Boxer Club National Specialty show! I am so damn proud of him, of us!

Every once in a while, things fall into place so something special can happen. Today was one of those days.

Kaylie met Gidee earlier in the day. I made a spur of the moment decision. I offered the opportunity to show him in the breed. having a dog like him in the breed ring at ABC is something I've dreamt of for years. I wanted to give her the chance to make a memory to last a lifetime. She did a BEAUTIFUL JOB and THEY MADE THE CUT!!

I am so very proud of both of them!

We're here, and I am in heaven! We showed yesterday, made the cut in Best of Breed, but no placement. Making the cut is huge. Lots of compliments and breeding inquiries into breeding to my baby boy. So proud of him! We show today, in a little while. Wish us luck!!

Remember about 2 months ago a superworm bit Ollie while he was sleeping? We are still dealing with healing. Those bastards. How dare they chew my sweet boy. They really did a number on him. Look at that face! How dare they!

@LnzyHou Zuggie sends his love and says hi!

😭😭😭😭

I miss him so much

@Faay this. But, maybe we can actually rebuild correctly this time.. fingers crossed

My friend is bringing my best boy back to life. I am sobbing 😭 I miss him more than words can express.

Just look at this happy, smiling, pelt-free baby girl! This is why I do what I do.💜

Part 2

#GroomingLife

Before and after from today. This is Lucy. Her first time with me. She had been kicked out if PetSmart for "behavior issues". She was a pelted mess, and the goodest girl. I have no idea what they would kick her out for. She was so thankful and happy to be freed from the painful prison of her pelted coat. Mom wanted to keep her "fluffy". What you see isn't fluff. It's pelt. You know how snarls in your hair hurt? Imagine it's your entire head & it pulls when you move.

Ollie says howdy! Like my custom reptile skin hat? Made by me, for me 🤣♥️
