Babysitting...

To day I am babysitting my brothers and the stinky three year-old is not listening so this is how I handle it.

Me:"If you don't listen I won't make cookies with you later."
Bren: "I will listen!"

There you have it... he listens!

Talent Show news

Thursday June 16th, 2005
I had the Talent Show auditions today, (I was really nervous,) my act was Dog Tricks with Lila. I MADE IT! The talent show is on the 24th. And until then I will be practicing with her EVERYDAY! To be continued on June 24th...
Friday June 24th, 2005
The talent show went great! Lila was awesome! I was nervous! The grade 5's had a luncheon, a talent show and a party all in a row(I put the activities in order)! At the end of the party we got cotton candy! And there was no places in the talent show... phew!

Nat loves the hugs!

Nat is so heavy! But I am used to it with dog handling because I have to lift him up on the table. It is weird because he doesn't seem so heavy during the show -- it might be the fact that I am nervous so I don't think about how heavy the dog really is!

Lila is a DANCIN FOOL

This is a silly picture of Lila dancing! I taught her how to do that when she was around a year old, I think, and she still does it all the time! There is a talent show coming up at my school and Lila and I are in it, but the only bad thing is that there are tryouts for it next Thursday! Gotta make it through tryouts first!

This is Thomas the tank engine!

We are going to "Day out with Thomas" tomorrow and Bren is really excited. I can't wait, either (not). Sorry, Mom!

Brothers are sooooo gross!

One of my friends is over and my annoying three year old brother is doing what he calls a pee dance and he made a new one up today called the butt dance. We were trying so hard not to laugh because we need to set a good example.

Nat at a correction match

Correction match 020605, originally uploaded by beaglebloggin These are pictures of me and Nat at a "correction match" which is a "fake" dog show. We won first in one class and second in the other. He was really tired after and so was I! We were there for 8 hours!

This is one of my favorite photos. Lila and Nat are trying to get a piece of hotdog out of my hand. Clearly Lila wants it more:) Well Nat was trying to get it but Lila got in the way.

My awards for dog handling

This is my trophy wall! As you can see, I have a lot of ribbons. To be exact, I have 28 ribbons--25 small ones and 3 big ones. That big blue one is from Provincials (where I won first in my age group); the burgundy one is second place, and last but not least, the big yellow one is third place. If you look closely, you can see a trophy and a plaque. Those I got from Provincials, as well.

This is the first picture of Nat that I received before he arrived at our house. In this picture, he is "stacked," which is the term used to describe the position he is in during a conformation show when the judge is inspecting him on the table. That's his breeder/mom, Lori, in the background. (Hi Lori!)

These are my beagles! Lila is the one on the left in the photo and Nat is the bigger dog on the right. Cute, huh?

Hello!

Hi! Welcome to my Beagle Bloggie! I am in grade 5 (almost in grade 6). I have two little brothers one 3 years old (and really annoying) and the other 11 months old and two crazy parents(what they put up with is amazing!). I do dog shows and on April 10 (2 months ago) I won 1st in my class in the Jounior handling provncials. I go to dog handling classes every Monday. I have two really good friends. I have two cute beagles Lila (a girl) and Nat (a boy). I hope you enjoy the rest of my postings later on!
