YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Market day today! Well our young lass is growing up! Lots of people attention, but she was really focussed on Dave and I - and while accepting pets she is starting to show that aloofness that is part of an adult Blackie. She did really well at ignoring the small chi's that were present! I had to buy some strawberries - they smelt ever so good! She loved her strawberry treat - but spit out the cucumber piece I gave her! LoL I think she was wanting another strawberry. We also got the first crop of corn on the cob - I live for summertime to get to that fresh corn - fresh veges - I am in seventh heaven - I could have bought out the whole market! As it is I can barely fit all the fruits n veges in my fridge. Lots of folks were buying flats of strawberries so I am pretty sure there will be a lot jam making etc going on this wkend. \I just finished with her obedience practice and she is coming along - again best with heel not so good with sit stay and down stay. She does not like it when I am out of sight. I will try out her obedience right after her afternoon long walk to see if she is tired out if she will be better at sit stay etc. This is one high energy gal I am happy to say. Tomorrow we go to Center Island and Dara will get her first ferry boat ride as well as a subway ride. That outta be interesting. Also there is a Vegetarian / Indian Festival going on so the place should be packed. We can swim her in Lake Ontario as it is forecasted to be quite hot. I will probably take RAzzle as well. I can't wait until I can safely put a loaded backpack on her - she can earn her keep so to speak. Carry her own water - carry groceries for me etc.

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Going to training tonight. We have an evaluation for Dara's readiness for CD. We still have problems with stand for examination and sometimes rarely now on the stay sit or stay down. So I am nervous to see what my trainer Ilona thinks. I bring Magic too just cause he loves to work and I don't want to leave him at home. We continue to work on the CDX and Utility skills that don't involve jumping. We also bring a new student with us Tanya and Gala her girl who is starting to be trained. I hope Tanya likes Ilona and can understand her. Ilona asked me if she was Russian I said I don't know the accents maybe Ukranian? lol

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Well we passed everything but Stand for examination. How ever Ilona is very pleased with her progress. She was a very good girl tonight. Just more practice especially with distractions. Can't have too much of that.

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Experiences of a show exhibitor Well my friends have you ever had good days n bad ones all wrapped up in 12 hrs or so? Well this was my day. It started out pretty well, we were well prepared - just a wee hiccup as I did not know we had run out of raw and so a quick trip to global pet foods remedied the situation. We actually left 30 minutes earlier than anticpated a decided first for us! We merrily went along what should have been a onehour drive - it ended up 2hrs - but judging by the traffic reports on the main route #400 we probably did better than expected. A little rub along the way we wanted to gas u in something called here gasoline alley only to find out it was now non existent - neither was our fav stop for lunch! No problem let me post this as Inhave been known to lose long posts

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | continued So where was I? Gasoline Alley Well we went direct to the show site - found and got electric and set up a spot suitable for 5 shelters and 8 Blackies. We were very proud of ourselves to get there early and to get a prime spot! We had a quick al fresco lunch - fed and walked doggies. Then I went shopping for the inevitable we forgot this or that. I found out a local swimming spot! hurrah! So we quickly threw our doggies in the van - and headed out. Oh and we thought better check into our motel along the way. That was done with dispatch and we didn't get lost from here to there or there to the swimming grounds. Of course we never count turning around twice or less as getting lost! now that swimming spot was important as I wanted to bathe Dara - at least her beard n legs for the show tomorrow. We got ourselves oriented and then well things started to go south a bit. My hubby and I lack good co ordination and communication skills! I am trying to change into my beach shoes - get the shampoo in the shoulder sling 0 get the toy for water - get the poo bags and all of a sudden he has already the two blackies out and leashed around his waist. What? And Magic is being bad bad boy. I could have killed him... Magic does not obey him like me. But hey guess Hubby wants to be Macho Man with two big dogs. So we get away from the car to the trail.4 It is a disaster! Both Magic and Dara following Magics lead are pulling like they never had obedience training in their flocking lifes! Dave is getting angrier and more mad. I offer to take Magic (I have Razz) he says NO. Well we walk this way along the beautifull shore line for about a kilometer when we find a relatively good place to swim. I say to Dave neither Magic nor Razzle are going in - leash them around the bench and I will take Dara into the water. This is necessary as she needs a bath. Well we go in - she does okay but shy with the high waves - but I get washed on her what I needed washed. We start to return to our car. NO KEYS for CAR Good Lord. Everything is in our car. Money credit cards, cell phones et al. I am in my bathing suit with nothing! Well finally I get to go to a recreation center before it closes to beg to use their phone to call CAA - my hubby spent one hour looking for the lost keys We wait another hour for CAA to come. Then CAA opens our door and we can push the car out to be towed. Lovely man he takes us to our motel and tows our car onward to the dealership so we can get a key made Sat. We arrive of course at our motel - Dave takes a cab back to the showgrounds to rescue our food left there and various other things. We wonder how he will with Dara get to the showgrounds tomorrow for the show. I{n the midst of me preparing dinner a soft knock on our door. The tow man has our keys!!!!!!!!!! Someone turned them into the recreation center and that person called our tow man. TG for small towns. So stay tune for how the weekend turns out!

| Congratulations!!! I have loved following and sharing this long journey with you. You are doing a beautiful job with Dara, and she is a beauty. I'm very proud of both you and Dara, and I'm sure Ilona is too. I'm sure Dara's tail is something to be careful with around the home with such a wide sweep and it makes it more difficult with showing, but it's beautiful. Razzle's movement was an amazing site to see, but seeing Dara move on video is also a wonder. I hope tomorrow is wonderful too. We will be cheering you from afar.

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Another 3 point major win! Dara now has her majors and is only 3 points shy of her Championship. We are very proud of our gal - she showed very well today and was in good form. We hope to finish her in Pickering at the end of August. I thought I would mark the occasion so I bought a little bracelet for Ilona - it is pure bling with red crystals throughout - will go well with her Yorkies red bows and red is great against a black coat too Our little group is going to build the points for her - well that is the plan anyhoo no guarantees but....... It would be awesome to finish her Can CH before we go to sweep the USA in Sept! JK I would be over the moon if she did - but that is going to be very stiff competition - all National Specialties are - well at least in my breed.
