Hartford, CT weekend


My husband and I spent Valentines Day
Weekend in Hartford, CT at a dog show.
Hazel sported her Valentines Day bling on Saturday and a Mardi Gras one on Sunday! The weather was sunshine and blue skies! We had fun shopping at Cabelas, and a great Valentines Day dinner at the Olive Garden.
But best of all, Hazel got a three point major on Saturday!
I was so proud of her.
I did have an official show picture taken, which I'll post once it arrives. Hopefully it will be a good picture!

We have a lot of goals for this year
and this was a nice start on one of them.
2009 goals: Earning a breed championship, obedience CD title, Rally RN and RA titles, JH hunt test title, Therapy Dog certification and a TD (tracking) title would be awesome
. I'll be thrilled if we can earn just a few of these this year, but goals are a good thing to have!

Our next show will be March 14 & 15 in Fitchburg, MA
Wish us luck!

Hey Mom, is my Valentines Day bling on straight?


Only 28 more Cabelas locations to visit!


Maybe Cabelas would hire me as a greeter!


I think Cabelas needs a Chesapeake Bay Retriever statue!
Don't you?


I took these photos Sunday morning outside our hotel in Enfield, CT before heading off to the show.
It was a beautiful morning!

"The color of the Chesapeake Bay Retriever
must be as nearly that of its working surroundings as possible."

Look! I'm a deadgrass against the deadgrass!


Hey, I think I hear something in there!


Gotta go and see what I can find!
Remember....Live in the moment!
See you next post
