The puppies from Gloria’s last litter are now nine months old.
Kevin, formerly known as Lucky #7, is on the right. He is sitting beside Auntie Violet with Grandma Flo-Jo looking on. All are interested in the carrots they are about to receive
This is Kevin’s sister, Vera. She looks much more “chill” in this picture than she is in real life.
The Absolutely group had a very fun weekend in Kennewick WA at the Tri-Cities dog show. Grooming and showing were all done outdoors. We managed with 3 “tents” and a motor home. We had wind, we had cold weather, we had sunshine, we had rain, we had more wind.
It was a busy weekend, as there were 5 FastCat runs and 4 conformation shows.
This is part of our set up. Sheri is grooming Fiona, while Burrito looks on.
11 of “our” dogs participated and had great success. Vera is not so sure she loves the conformation ring. Her happy place is playing with her buddies.
Junebug ran FastCat and earned her second title in that event. She also participated in conformation shows and was awarded Select two days.
We prayed for the perfect home for Vito. Rose and Ralph are thrilled to welcome him into their family. I know he will get so much love and attention!
Ralph, Rose and Vito.
Oh no! Vera has learned to jump on the bed. There’s no stopping her now.
Vito, the puppy colored black in the last litter is now 7 months old. He has told me (in puppy dog language) that he is NOT interested in being a show dog. He doesn’t enjoy the limelight Vito is looking for a new home where he can give lots of love and attention to his owners, but one that doesn’t require him to be a show dog.
Vito has had all his puppy shots and is microchipped. He is from a healthy line of Bichons and his parents are both champion dogs who have passed their health testing.
If you are interested in this handsome boy and would like to have him join your family, please get in touch with Sue. (use the “contact us” page on this website).
Vito loves to play. And he loves to run in the yard.
Junebug enjoys her recent run for Fast CAT.

Brinkley strutted around the ring with owner Jennifer Wilson while Sue read his accomplishments–Brinkley has several Rally title, a Canine Good Citizen title, and Trick dog title. More titles to come! Good job Brinkley and Jennifer.
Shae and Tasheena were Select Bitch 4 out of the 5 shows (at both Specialties and 2 at the All Breed shows). Shae also went to the Owner-Handler ring and was awarded a Group 3 and a Group 4. Below Shae is pictured with her “winnings”.Nicely done Shae and Tasheena.
