This is baby Frost 10 minutes after coming in to the RV today. She rode down from Colorado with Polly’s friend Mary and when I went to get her she was thrilled to see me. I introduced her to Lindy, Henry and Daddy PJ and she was thrilled to meet them and her Grandma Ginger. She wasn’t the least bit worried about being in a new place.
She does take after her Daddy in the food department, she is already looking for snacks!
The big dogs have been great with her.
We had a rare night off so the dogs and I took advantage on just hanging out.
Tomorrow is bath night so no one will be happy

How things have changed, when I 1st started going to doggy events with my rescue GSP Sigfried I took the dog, some water and some treats and went to events in a Ford Ranger extended cab pickup. Then I got Windy and I had a crate and a bag and an xpen and then the stuff started coming. Now we have an E350 extended van and a travel trailer and if that wasn’t enough now there is a mini motor home. There is so much stuff, I didn’t realize when I started that there is so much stuff, we have crates, tables, chairs, fans, grooming boxes with $100 of dollars of product, many pair of ugly shoes and more. I’m happy to report that except for a few odds and ends I’m packed for the 1st show of the season.
We leave Friday afternoon for Hobbs, NM about a 5 hour drive from here. Lindy and Henry are entered in the Open class, we were hoping for major points but missed the dog major by 1 dog. Lindy needs one single and 1 major and Henry needs 4 singles and one major. PJ is entered in Breed both days and Rally Novice on Sunday.
Baby Frost will also be joining us, she has a ride from Denver to Hobbs, a puppy will need even more stuff

Rockie Top Flying Snow aka Frost
Frost will be coming to Solstice at the end of the month, Polly has arranged a ride for her to Hobbs, NM where we will be at the dog show.
Polly says she is a punk! We like them bad babies!
We are having a bad month here at Solstice. We said goodbye to our old friend Dublin today.
Dublin was a cattle dog cross that was a birthday gift to my little brother 14 years ago. I got her from a co-worker who had a litter of cattle dogs but as you can tell it looks like some other type a dog came a courting.
Dublin grew up with a bunch of frat brothers, then lived the single guy life, she loved pizza and french fries and hated the mailman and yorkies. When my brother moved to Dallas for his job 5 or 6 years ago she came to live with my mom and grandmother on a temporary basis. Once Randy was settled, Mema told him he could not have his dog back. She became my grandmother’s dog and then when Mema passed away she transferred her alligence to my Mom. Dublin took each new Cardi visitor in stride, she tolerated the puppies and really liked Henry, she would always play with him.
She was an old dog who learned new tricks, she learned to be an RV dog, and a Dog Show visitor. She went with us whenever my Mom went to the dog shows with the gang.
She had an enlarged heart and on Monday she started having breathing problems, by Tuesday she was weak and today she left us on her own. We are thankful she only had a couple of bad days.
She was a good dog, a funny dog, a smart dog, the yappy hour hostess and a good friend. We will all miss her.
Rest well and easy old girl, you were loved.
Harry has new Ali x Oliver puppy pictures up on his site www.arylan.com the babies have their eyes open now.
Cute, Cute, Cute!
