HELP!! 

The bench show at the Portland Expo Center that is held on October 12th, has a theme this year of “Tricks and Treats”.  I will need a couple more people to help with decorating, as we would really like to win the purple ribbon (AND the $100 cash!) this year.  Please contact me at (360) 254-1942 if you would like to help.  I need pictures of Boston’s standing on their hind legs, sitting up, and any pictures of them dressed up in a costume.  You can email them to me (.jpg format please) at WidgetsBTs@aol.com.  Please send them to me before October 1st.  Also, does anyone have a VHS or DVD combo TV we can use for the bench show?  The 3rd Annual Boston Tea Party is on video (either format) and we would like to play it for the spectators.                             Kim

    

Congratulations to Kelly Estes (and Ann Lord) with their new litter of 6 Boston babies, 4 girls & 2 boys.  Amer/Can CH Kennedy’s Storm Watch Bramley x Bramley’s American Classic (Rev’s daughter) One girl is still available to a good pet home.

 

Congratulations to Di Sorenson & Kelly Estes and their girl Bramley’s Crazy From The Heart and her spectacular win at the Boston Terrier Club of Western Washington Match.  Little Belle won the Best Puppy in Match AND Best in Match!

 

 

Should dogs be required to eat dog food invented by people, when people would never eat people food invented by dogs?

The Adventures of Jet

As told by BJ…

 

I thought if this as Jet and I lounged in the grass.  The summer here in the Northeast has not been conducive to fun or the outdoors. When it wasn’t Africa-hot, it was Amazon-wet.  And when it wasn’t, the mosquitoes seemed to be of both African and Amazon stock.

 The weather had finally taken a turn for the better and, upon returning home from work; Jet had exhibited an urgency to go outside.  After a somewhat shortened ritual of butt wagging and presenting a toy in greeting, he posted himself by the door.

 Like the stone lions at the public library he fixed his stare on me as I made a pot of coffee.  Through his silence and stillness, the utmost urgency was expressed.

 So I snapped on his collar and leash and out we went, leaving the just- percolating pot behind.  As we hit the grass, I thought for sure he would void himself in copious portions.  I thought for sure, he would make a beeline for the nearest tree or shrub and get on with his pressing business.  Instead, he angled away and drove for the open expanse of lawn by the willow tree.

 To me, this is his favorite spot.  I think he likes the thickness of the grass and maybe he can tell he’s close to the water.  He likes the sunny expanse of it.  In one of my earliest memories of Jet, he is stretched out in this place, earnestly working over a newfound stick; pieces of bark flaking off as he chewed with a dog grin that radiated contentment.

 With purpose he pulled to this spot of lawn.  With vigor and determination.  With urgency he drove for what?  Was there a smell to investigate?  Had he left a rawhide?  We get to the dead center of the lawn where he slows to a trot, lowers his body as if slinking and gently plops himself in the grass.

 The sole purpose of getting the hell out of the house and over to this patch was simply to nap in the afternoon sun, his belly pressed against the cool, green blades.

 I stood for a moment, his leash now slack in my hand, and looked around me, wishing I had my coffee.

 But at that moment I had much more.

 I dropped the leash and sat next to my dozing dog.  He seemed to be drawing solar power from the afternoon sun.  The light was perfect and mellow and highlighted every stalk of grass, every yellow flower.  If you focused hard enough, you could almost drown out the sounds of passing traffic and hear the wind moving through the treetops with a rustling sound that harkens to hiking the Adirondacks.  Subtle, murky smells came off the lake; heavy flowers and fermented pond scum and all things brackish.  Through my work clothes I could feel the coolness of the grass working it’s way to my skin as the sun warmed from above.

 Jet was onto something here.

 I laid back, clasped my hands behind my head and shut my eyes. 

 For the remainder of the afternoon we sat there… doing nothing.

 Now this was paradise.

TRUE FACTS:

 

  • You can teach an old dog new tricks, but only if he feels like learning them.
  • Any sentence not containing the word dinner will be ignored by your pet.
  • The more elaborate the doghouse, the less it will be used.
