B.O.W. Wow!

I have been hard at work, bloggerini's. Job 1 these days is being a Show Dog. Ahhh...the life—an endless round of exercise, proper diet, supplements, brushing, nail trimming and BATHING!

I'm getting used to it now and even willingly hopped in the tub just this afternoon. Better to just get things done that you know you have to do.

The best part of this routine is lots of time with Green Ball and my frisbee. Ms. Alpha calls it working out, but to me it's fun. I'm also putting in time leaping over PVC pipe jumps. I get extra walks, too, and I've secretly been working out Ms. Alpha. We trot at a brisk clip and she's finally getting some stamina thanks to me.

Last weekend I went to 3 shows and had my favorite handler, Reggie Moorehead, waltz me around the ring. Reggie is a cool dude who knows how to be in charge of me—not an easy task. In fact, Reggie took the winning Border Collie around at Westminster for the last 2 years. And let me tell you something—when he speaks, I listen!

Check out my latest video...it's ME, Fenway. I won the Best of Winners class, known in the trade as BOW.

I'm takin' care of business!

Hey Fenway! That was a great win! I know how hard it must be to stay clean and fit for those doggie shows.

Your handler was good too. I liked that he color coordinated his outfit with you (unlike that handler behind him in the ring - sheesh).

You did good stacking on the exam table. I guess you just have to put up with that.

I really liked you in the ring too. You were so attentive and happy. Of course you won!

Hey, if you ever do a show up here in Master Chew Sits, let me know, OK?

Slobbers,
Mango

Fenway is such a great name for an adorable dog like that. I love your blog and am so proud of your accomplishments! I was wondering if you would come meet my Africa and if you find her cool enough to please add her to your blog list. I would be so grateful! Thanks for the great blog!
Thanks!

Wooo great job Fenway! You look absolutely marvelous! Nice attention you give to your handler. (he must have some good treats.) I hate it when they think we don't know how to stand and move our feet around though...

Hi Fenway

I knew you had many talents but I am stunned. You had a nice gait even and cheerful. I bet I could use reggie in my life. I might listen for a change.

Hey, Fen!

You did AWESOME in the ring! B.O.W. WOW!!!!!! Looks like you are getting the hang of showing! Keep up the great work!
Chaney and I have been real busy this past weekend at an agility trial. Mom is still bushed and hasn't updated my blog. She has the results on her Facebook right now, though. Chaney now has a total of 7 Elite Chances Qs! We are proud of her!

Congrats again. Big hugs from all of us!
