Hold On

Sunday was another earthdog day much to Boogie's delight!

From what I was told, only one ribbon was given out all weekend.  I'm thinking the club made it really hard because they were short on money for ribbons!

In Master, the dogs couldn't find the rats.  You know something is wrong if Boogie can't find them.  He was so frustrated.  They were very nice to let a small bit of light in right at the end so Boogie could find his way.  He let those rats know all about his frustration!

In Senior he did his same trick of not wanting to come out.  The judge said she was hoping so hard for him to come out because he was the best worker she had ever seen.  You can bet on that.....Boogie really works!

When he came out I let me him look in the bucket so he could see the rats were in there.  Big mistake!  He grabbed the five gallon bucket and wouldn't let go.  It took four of us to get him to let go of the bucket.

He may not have got any ribbons this weekend but he had a blast.  That's really what matters to me.

It is still so cold and rainy here!  The park makes everyone unhook their water at night because the pipes are freezing each night.  Brrrr.

The monkeys and Sparkie got to go to the offleash park today.  Mike said they had a great time with a couple Dobermans that were there. The monkeys ran and ran letting the Dobermans chase them. Sparkie was really smitten and was flirting big time.

Then Mike went up to the small town of Jerome that was an old copper mining camp.  It's known as "Amercia's Most Vertical City" and the "Largest Ghost Town in America".

It's a quaint little city on the side of a very steep mountain/hill.  At its peak back in the 1920's, the population was over 15,000.  Currently it has a population of just 450.  Now it's just a tourist town and artist community.

Mike enjoys walking around town looking at all the fun little shops.  I used to enjoy that too.  There is a super cool fudge store there.  They make all the fudge fresh everyday.  I don't remember how many "flavors" of fudge they make but it's a lot.  Today Mike came home with Caramel Fudge and Texas Tea Fudge.  They are both so good!

Slugger went to Jerome with Mike today.  He enjoyed walking around town and getting attention from the other people strolling around.  They had to sit in the car at times to wait for the rain showers to pass.  And up at 5,200 feet it was even colder than down here.

Just talking about it makes me crave some hot chocolate.  This will be my last cup as I'm out of my favorite hot chocolate mix.....Ghirardelli's Double Chocolate.  Nummy.
