Our 1 Year Anniversary!!!!

Happy Anniversary to US!

The Best of Lorelei

Jeanine and I had a great time entertaining our three year old cousin or may I say she entertained us during our other cousin Bridget's baby shower. She is a true charm. She had us in hysterics the whole time. I wish that all three year olds could be that much fun all the time. She is always fun to be around.

Sabrina & Mike's Wedding

Paul and I went to Sabrina and Mike's wedding last night out at Jericho Terrace. Sabrina used to work at PS 182 and we miss her so much........ The wedding was lovely. Sabrina looked fabulous. We had a good time. Here are some pics from the event.

Tom's Q Ribbon

Yeah I know. Tom got his first Qualifying ribbon three weeks ago and I have been too LAZY to post. But hey better late than never. All four pups were out on the job today doing a demo for PCOTC at Webb Field for the Parade of Pets which was a nice opportunity for my dad and I to work on our agility with Tom, Jerry and Smartie. Abbie had a nice time walking around greeting everyone with Jeanine and Kevin since she isn't on the agility scene yet. They had a great turnout and it wasn't too cold so it was nice. It was kind of sad though because last year I brought Ranger to this event. It was one of the last outings she went on before she died.

Here is a shot of Tom doing an agility demo for PCOTC at the Guiding Eyes for the Blind Walkathon Fundraiser at FDR Park on October 7th. This photo was courtesy of their photographer.

Photos from this Weekend's Trial

Here are some photos from this weekend's trial courtesy of Barry Rosen Photography. I will upload some of Smartie's as soon as I get my hands on the CD. My dad and I had montages made and I will be putting Tom's first "Q" ribbon in with the montage in a shadow box to display on the wall. I can't wait to get one of Jerry now. He is still too little to compete, maybe by next fall.

Way to Go Tom!

Today Tom had only one run at Contact Agility Trial in Carmel where he did a wonderful job behaviorally FIRST because that was our goal and then he managed to come in second place while doing so because he had a super clean run. We lost some time on weave poles because I forgot what I was taught just the other day as a neat trick (always the handler's fault.........) so we were 3.81 seconds over time and no Q but hey we got a big red ribbon and I think Tom looks really proud of himself. We have three runs tomorrow so hopefully we will do just as well and maybe even better.

Marianne' s Breakfast & Babycakes

Us girls at work decided to throw Marianne a little surprise congratulations breakfast now that she has officially announced to everyone that she is having a baby. Claire and Yvonne organized. Sandy decorated the teacher's room in the brightest of yellow and everyone came to celebrate. We were all probably late to get our kids too! eek! I wanted to make Marianne something very cute so I decided on the baby cupcakes. When I saw the picture it looked very cute especially all the different expressions the babies had- smiling babies, sleeping babies, cooing babies, crying babies... Well I kept it simple just sleeping and smiling ones, and hopefully that's what she will be blessed with a lot of- sleep and smiles.
