Update: Hit fog on the road last night, so my return was a little delayed. By pupular demand, brand new photos of our two new champions, "Fly" ...
... and "Dude".
Lots of unpacking and rest to catch up on. I'll be back later.
(Original post continues below)
With one day remaining here at the dog show in Denver, I thought I'd check in with a status report. Without putting too fine a point on it, we're pretty much cleaning house. The first two days saw two new American championship titles completed - Am.Can.Ch.Minuteman All About Flyfishing and Am.Ch.Paragon's Focus On The Gold, while my new puppy Minuteman Venus Flytrap started out by scoring both her "majors", one with a breed win.
We're heading for home tomorrow as soon as we're packed up, and blogging should be pretty much back to normal by Wednesday. Thanks once again to the guest bloggers who keep the place humming along so well!
arf.....arf.....see you back at the pissing post.
Congratulations, Kate!
congratulations kate; a great success!
CONGRATULATIONS, Kate and canine winners!
Good work!
Congratulations Kate! john, behave yourself.
kenkulak...try to remember from whence the kulak class sprung...so then it necessarily follows that the very idea of a kulak giving advice on politesse to a free born man such as mesself is...well, quite absurd on the face of it..
Way to go Kate and of course the dogs!
Hey john, this kulak offspring sprung from a freeman on a freehold bourgeois "Vollwirt" or owner of a full farm and also known as a petty-capitalist entrepreneur.
Comment was tongue in cheek.
Good on ya' girl. Winning isn't everything, but losing is nothing at all.
Ken(Kulak) and john - have you two considered fighting a duel? I'm trying to bring back duelling.
Just think about it, okay?
Go Kate's schnauzers! Triumph over the other schnauzers!
Good to hear from you Kate! Congrats!
And yes it has been 'humming' here.
Congratulations, Kate. I wonder if the next MSM piece will mention that you raise championship dogs?
But those names.. whatever happened to Spot and Ruff?!
Congratulations Kate and dogs. Drive carefully.
Congratulations Kate, how about some photos?
Does this mean, Kate, that you can put your feet up?
(Do you ever put your feet up?)
dogspeed, kate; dogspeed
Drive carefully, Kate. I hear it's snowing in every state save Hawaii, while back here in Saskawhatzaplace, it's still pleasantly warm. We're happy to report polar ice cap melting remains on schedule.
The blog will be back to normal? Yeah, like it could ever be described as "normal". Safe journey!
High Fives, Kate!
So, are we gonna see some pics of these champ dogs after you get home?
Pictures, please!
Mr. Begley, Mr. Kulak, calm yourselves.
As it happens I outrank you both. I was born on a pirate ship.
Of course, I say that tongue in cheek...
Great to hear you've done so well. Wish you could have hung out down here for another couple weeks. Would have been nice to see you at the Sun Country specialty again. The weather should be picture perfect. Not bragging...
Beautiful dogs! Congratulations!
And welcome back.
'pupular'request. Wonderful!!! Beautiful dogs,Kate. And that's from an avowed scnauzwhatever hater,who only hates terrorists more.
From the comfort of his daybed by the fireplace at his exclusive retirement home in the Ottawa Valley countryside, my min schnau (who is now approaching 14) sends his hearfelt congratulations.
Good to know the young whippersnappers of the noble breed have done so well!
They're beauties. Good job, Kate!

I always hated Jackass Russells
guess what my current dog is:-)))
way da go Kate
successful in more than one life's endeavors
Beautiful doggies. Perfection.
Is Dude winking at us? They both look sharp
Wow you have some smart looking animals!!
Schnauzers always look very p*ssed-off to me.
"Dude" seems to be saying "what are you staring at, wanna make something of it"?
Thanks Kate, now my wife wants a mini. IG's aren't enough now schnauzers too. Just what i need. A couple of beauties though. Congrats.
My, my. I swear I've seen Fly's grey bearded countenance before. Can't remember if it was in Copenhagen or at an NDP convention. (wink)

Dayyam good looking dogs Kate.
And, man, I just got a German Sheperd.
Quite frankly, the "Dude" scares the bageezes out of me. Those pointy ears and that smirk...and congrats Kate.
