Checking IN!

WOW its been a few weeks! Sorry life just gets in the way....it was pheasant season after all! So we spent 2 weekends in the woods searching for Birdies! We had SO much fun! Journey & Cooper (the evil Brittany) were so not happy they had to share bird time with ME! Last year I just tagged along and played but this year OMG I had so much fun! Mom said she was SO proud of me! I retrieved every bird shot for me...and even a few shot for the other two knuckle heads. One day we got our limit very early and Mom made us really behave and worked on training vs shooting birds.....I am learning that I have to honor the other dogs on point....its not fun but i do it.

In-between hunting weekends we took a trip to OH for a dog show! Saturday I came very close to finishing my championship, but Kissing Cousin "Pixie" got her 1st major instead! She's a cool girl! Big props to her and her brother Rocket! Rocket is such a cutie! I even got to see my Grandma Jan, Cousin Riley & Aunt Tessa. We stayed with Aunt Margaret so we got to run and play all weekend! It was fun! There was 8 of us running and playing. My Dad Journey, brother Brady, Cousin Guzzle, Cousin Reba, Payton The evil Beagle and My surrogate kid Teagan (she's really a flatcoat that my sister Payton raised with her litter, but I am her "other" mom). It was so much fun to run and run and run!!! I LOVE! Being chased!!!!

Now we have a few weekends off before heading to shows again. Mom started her new job this week, she has been so busy at work.

Well thats it for now! More news to come soon!!! Lots of things planned for November! Check back soon; we'll have more details soon:)

Princess Treasure!

HT Picture

We're been busy getting ready for our upcoming hunting trip! Journey's making a nuisance of himself since Mom brought out her gun to clean....he KNOWS its almost time.....the poor boy is acting like there is a girl in season around (and its NOT ME)....barely eating, following mom around like a lost puppy...the silly boy, i keep telling him she is NOT leaving without us....she NEEDS US! He's such a whiny baby.

Unfortunately Pheasant season doesn't Officially open until Monday the 20th, so we'll just be scouting for pheasants Sat & Sunday....but it will still be Grouse & Woodcock Season so that is what we'll be hunting Sat & Sunday! CANT WAIT! Look Out Birdiieess! We're coming to get you!!!

So the wonderful ladies at the Irish Setter club HT took pictures of all of us with Qualify Scores! Here is my picture. Its a little dark, mom said she'd fix that when we get our computer back up to speed on Thursday.

I'm sure there will be more pictures to post after our hunting weekend....You know Mom and her Camera....maybe she'll even figure the video thing out!

POINT!

Mom finally got off her keister and entered me in a Hunt Test on Saturday. She told me if i held my point (opposed to flushing my own bird just as mom gets within 2 feet of me) that she would shoot some birds for me and let me retrieve them! SO I was a good girl and held my point....i even let mom flush it and shoot it (altho she missed it) before i took off to bring the bird back. I still don't understand why she has to shoot them because I can bring them back just fine alive.

I got a cool Orange Ribbon and mom said my scores were awesome! All 9's and 1 8! So now i have 1 leg towards my JH. Hopefully we can do a few more HT this fall....but between real hunting and trying to finish my Championship mom said it doesn't leave a lot of weekends, so we may have to wait till spring.

Boy was my dad ticked off when mom took ME out 1st! We could hear him screaming the entire way around the course. Even grandma Sue yelling at him didn't shut him up. He was so mad that when it was his turn he blew mom off big time and got in BIG trouble! He is such a boy, always wanting it his way and to always be 1st. He just has to learn I am the Princess and I go 1st now!!!

We cannot wait for Pheasant Season! Only 2wks to go then we'll be OFF to the Lake for a weekend of BIRDS BIRDS BIRDS!!!!!!

Another Sad Day

Today is a very sad day at our house. Our Onyx Kitty had to go to the rainbow bridge. She was very old and very sick. Her kidneys had not been working well for awhile and over the weekend she took a major turn for the worse. I am very sad....i loved to chase the kitty. Mom said it will be a very long time before we get another kitty. Onyx was a one of a kind cat. My mom raised her from just days old. When her mom was killed on the road in front of her work. She was nicknamed the Devils Spawn by our vet because she was so evil. She taught all of us dogs to respect the kitty....poor Naven even has permanent scars from trying to lay on top of her. Even dad Journey (who mom calls the kitty killer) wont do anything other then point onyx....he knows better.

So it is a very sad day at our house......Mom bought a special candle to light tonight in honor of our evil Onyx kitty. She is now terrorizing all the other cats and dogs at the rainbow bridge.

Mom and the Camera

I swear give mom a camera and she finds anyway possible to embarrass us! So I had to get a bath and to make matters worse Dad gets one with me (read same time dad in tub with me...aren't their rules about that?) i mean come on cant a girl have a little privacy! So we get our baths and mom grabs her camera to take pictures of us.....

Dad of course is a camera hog he loves having his picture taken....

So I thought maybe if i closed my eyes really tight she'd just go away! or just pretend i am sleeping and she'll leave me alone.

You can tease my dad about his purple towel.....I told him it was "sexy" LOL!

OUCH!

Thanks to everyone who has hit my site and blog trying to find out why I was excused from the ring on Saturday....for those so concerned I hurt my foot. We have no idea how or on what but it hurt bad! I tried to be brave but about half way around the ring I just couldn't do it.


But some pain meds, a foot soak and lots of TLC and I am all better now! Unfortunately, I didn't get to show on Sunday either as I was still not using my foot. Oh well! Hopefully in October they'll be majors again.....


I do want to thank all my east coast peeps for all their website and blog hits! Your daily hits to my page and blog sent us up to the #2 spot for blog hits the most times on Tuesday! Love you guys! You know who you are....and that we can see you!

Sad Day

Today is a sad day....we learned that two of my relatives passed away this week. My Great Grandma Lany and my Great Grandpa Russlure both passed away this week:(


We lit a candle for them.

Boyz Boyz Boyz....

OH where are the BOYZ! Their surely not here! OH BUT the BIRDZ are! We went out Sunday and played with some birdz! I was SO Happy! Mom was so proud of me, I decided to finally listen to her and hold my point long enough to let her flush the bird...of course then i CHAZED! and brought it back....i mean come on, we can't let this little birdie get away....heck she didn't even hit it when she shot. Mom said IF I hold my point like I am suppose to and not just retrieve my birds that I'll get to do more bird stuff in a few weeks. SO I showed her I COULD point and whoa...5 points! ok 4 - i had to bust in on one...its just to tempting. Why wait for mom to flush and shoot them when I can just point, grab and bring them back alive!

Mom learned her cell phone has video! She tried to video me on point and her flushing the bird, but all she got on video was lots of noise, me panting and oh ya GRASS! hopefully she figures that out soon so everyone can SEE I CAN hold a POINT! But i tell ya its just not fun!

We're off to shows next weekend with Aunt Sue! YEAH!....Then my said I will be "safe" to run with everyone and we can really get down to bird training!

Props to my buddy Rocket! His Mom & Dad got him a new SISTER!!!!! We'll she's older then him but she LOVES to play!!! Can't wait to meet Mz Delilah!!

What A WEEKEND!

The below blog should have posted 8/11 - not sure what happend.....but here it is now! More coming soon!

Its been several weeks since I have posted. So much has happened! Mom got a new van! Big thanks to Aunt Nancy for selling us her van! We're cruis'n in princess style again! Mom even bought me a new Pink Princess Blanket! Now to just get me a new crate and all will be good!


Last weekend we went to shows in OH. It was HOT but Mom rented a cool car for us to go in! Mom loved it! 1 tank of gas got us there and back with some to spare....not sure why she was so excited but she was! But she was really sad too, my little buddy Ace met his new Mom and went home. I really miss him. He was fun to play with even if he was a little obnoxious. Mom said we'll get to see him in a few months and he'll be much bigger! Boy i hope so, that kid needs to do some serious growing! I felt like i was going to break him everytime we played. I was really hoping to have been a Champion by the end of last weekend...and I came close but not close enough:( On Saturday I was a bridesmaid as mom called it. On Sunday I made a cut but no ribbons! Thats ok, it was HOT and I just wanted to go home......then I gave mom a real surprise! I came in season on Wednesday! Dad kept trying to tell her I was close and I kept telling him eeewww NO! but boyz you know they just do not listen!

So this past weekend on Saturday we just hung out! but Sunday we drove with Aunt Karin, Derek and my two Buddies Foster & Diesel to OH...oh ya my Dad went too, I had to ride in a crate between the "boyz"....i felt like I was in a fish bowl, they all kept staring and whining at me....I was like COME ON guys I do not like you guys like that! So anyhow at the show I was the only girl in the classes so of course I won! But my Dad Journey won Best of breed and I beat another girl who is already a CH for Best of Opposite Sex! It was pretty cool to be there right behind my Dad! The judge even told Mom I almost beat him! He doesn't like it when I beat him! Then Dad & Derek got to go show with all the other Sporting dogs in the group, and they won a Group 2!! After the group we got our pictures taken.

In other news! Props to my sister Princess Hazel! She finished her Championship!! Go HAZEL! Then our Bro "Brody" was Best of Breed!!!

Will post new pictures soon

Mean people SUCK!

Well I have been MIA for a few days....and I just have to say Mean People SUCK! SO our van has been having issues...Mom has been shopping for a new one but shopping is hard work. So Friday morning mom goes to leave for work and OMG! our VAN IS GONE! MISSING! I thought it ran away cuz Mom got so mad it earlier in the week....but mom explained it couldn't run away without its keys...so SOMEOME STOLE IT! Then I got very upset...all my stuff was still in the van! My Pretty PINK Brand New SHOW LEAD! My PINK Bed, My Pink Princess Blanket :( and My Crate! I am so upset. Now we are vanless....and Mom really has to go out and find a new van. This SUCKS!


My little Brother Brady came to stay with us for a few weeks...his family (who i just love) are on a VACA in Las Vegas! Lucky hoomins they get to have all the fun! He has been a lot of fun to play with, but i get so tired of boyz! can't mom bring home some girls for me to play with. She said next year I might get a sister....and i hope she does! Payton and I need another girl in the house!


Brady loves to play with Ace. Mom shot some videos of them playing this morning. Stupid puppies....Brady doesn't realize he is as big as me...he thinks he is tiny like Ace.

We heard today my Uncle Spark finished his RE title! WAHOO Go SPARK! He is so well educated! Mom said I have to go to school and study really hard to be like Spark.

Spent today just chilln with Kenzie! She doesn't let me cuddle with her much anymore so i take advantage when i can!

New Van

Mom said lots of bad words last night....she has to go van shopping....our van is old and sick:( something about its mission starting to die. I think that's really bad. Our Kenzie is sick too and old....Mom said we have to be very careful with her cuz she has a hard time seeing us and can't hear anything....at least she still likes it when i clean her ears and eyes. I try to be very gentle but sometimes i forget and run into her when we are playing. I always give her kisses and tell her i am sorry for knocking her down.

Fingers crossed moms van shopping goes well....i don't understand why she doesn't like shopping for vans...we love to go shopping normally. Hopefully we get a new Big van

No pictures today, i am just to tired to model for the camera. maybe tomorrow.

Big Weekend Wins!

I got my 1st major last weekend...my Brother and Sister couldn't let me be outdone so they went out and won at the IL Specialty this weekend! Prince Miles was Winners dog & Princess Hazel was Winners Bitch/Best of Winners both for 4pt majors! Now we all just need 1 major to finish our CH's! We're catching up to Brothers Brody who finished his CH 1yr at the IL specialty...and to Brother Wyatt who needs 2 Single points to finish his Ch!!!

Rain Rain Go Away

Well so much for the beach:( Its raining....and raining....and still raining! Payton and I are left to play inside....We had Wrestlemainia 34 in the living room this morning with Naven. For an old guy he still has the moves. Then the sun came out and i thought OH YA! NOW we can go to the beach.....then the rain came back.....now I am just plain bored! A girl can only chase her tail and chew on a bone so much in a morning before boredom takes over...

I played

Now I rest....

The Best Auntie

TGIF my Peeps! SO glad its FRIDAY!!! we will be able to sleep in tomorrow! No going to work for Mom! She said if it is nice weather we are going to go the BEACH! I have my Bikini all picked out! CANNOT WAIT! The PRINCESS LOVES! the beach!! Swimming, Sun bathing and flirting with all those crazy boy dogs:) Love it! please please weather gods make tomorrow be a sunny hot day!

Some of you may know my sister Payton. Well she's a beagle so she not my blood sister but she's still my sister. Anyhow, she is a Momma Dog right now...I am SO jealous! I want to be a Momma too! but Mom tells me i have to wait until next year. Well Payton only had 1 puppy, his name is Solo. He is almost 5wks old and so cute! He has gone from being this blob that doesn't move much even tho i nose him all over the box trying to get him to play with me...to this really cool playmate. Mom said its my job to get him all socialized and be his surrogate littermate so he learns all the dog rules. Its been a hard job! Between Payton and I he is getting lots of attention and now doesn't want to be left alone. Mom says she thinks we've kinda spoiled him LOL! There are some cute pics of Solo Below.

My dad, Journey is nuts! He swears Solo is a kitty or a squirrel or something He is obsessed with watching him....i told him just wait, he won't be so happy if those little needles start biting him. I just can't seem to get it thru solo's puppy brain that my Milkbar is CLOSED! OUT OF ORDER! NOT WORKING! but that boy has to try everytime...OUCH!

I came, I saw, I moved like a dream and kicked butt!

At the Vizsla Club of Michigan Supported entry, I won winners bitch for my 1st major! 1 more and I will be a Champion....altho i am not sure why i need to be a Champion after all I am already a Princess!
All of the boyz were just a buzz over me (hey who can blame them)....mom said its getting to be that time again......what time? time for a Party? COOL I LOVE Parties!!!
