Homecoming 2009

Here I am, at Avis, waiting for a car. We flew in to Cleveland, than drove to Canada and New York.
Mom wanted a picture of my First Homecoming Awards.


Homecoming #35 was a BLAST. Every year the ISSR Shilohs return to New Zion for the biggest Shiloh event of the year. It was wonderful to meet so many new people, especially the BREED FOUNDER and Lisa...and to see so many of these awesome dogs gathered together in one place! Three days of shows, the National Specialty, plus meetings and seminars and fellowship...and just spending time with some of the best people around. Unbelievable. Little Ender did VERY WELL, we were so proud of him. I love my dog and thank Tina everyday for the gift that he is and the joy that he brings to our family. Little Ender-not so little anymore at 85 lbs ( about 78lbs in the pictures above)-needed a suitcase to take home all his trophies and ribbons! On Friday he received Reserve Winners Plush Puppy, on Saturday he was Winners Puppy, Best of Winners and Best of Variety (Losing Best in Show to the beautiful Ursa.)
Then, on Sunday he took Winners dog and Best of Opposite! WOW!! But the best part...is that again, after flying trots around the ring, he can put his service vest on and travel home with us on the airplane--receiving so many " what a beautiful..well-behaved-calm-well trained etc...-service dog he exemplifies. These dogs truly are amazing. All this and ONLY 8 months old. Good boy Ender. All we can say is "above and beyond our wildest expectations!!!"

Ender -- 7 months (July 2009)

Ender visited MeMa again this month at the Nursing Home.

Hutto Show

Here are my Hutto pictures- finally! Some are blurry or faded. We need a camera and lens like Anne and Zak have! I'll put a link to watch it on YouTube also, its much easier to see it on there. And it should be available for public viewing this time!

5 Months

So this month was a little more laid back. This was also about the time that Mom misplaced the camera for a little while, so we weren't able to get so many pictures. But at least we got ones from the most important event: my very first paying job! I was the ambassador for my puppy daycare, Second Home Pet Resort, at the Phoenix Women's Expo. In exchange for showing off my cuteness, I got one week of free daycare.

The kids were a lot of fun!

4 months: Part II

Here's the rest of my month. There have been so many activities going on!

4 months: Part I

Wow, I've had a busy month! From my puppy daycare, to playing with my kitty, to two dog shows in two states, I've been busy!



Here is my daycare. Its a really nice place where I get to play with other pups while mom is at work.

I think he's warming up to me...

Where'd he go?

Hangin' out with the neighborhood gang.

Was that a bunny over there?

Here are all the Shilohs at the Tucson Show.

Woohoo!

You taste pretty good!

This was at the LA show now. I can't wait to be big like him!

They're always looking at my teeth and stuff.

Ok mom! Am I doing it alright?

There's mom holding some big purple thing.

Here they made me pose again with the big purple ribbon. Mom was sure proud of me when she got that!
