JOHNNY NEW TITLE

DAIMLER NEW TITLE

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Nancy's post to me:

Well Daimler was terrific yesterday and got his Open Jumpers title-(OJP)--he is having so much fun--I'll I can do is smile!

Here he is wearing his title and placement ribbons--(don't get excited about the hairdo--I wet him down before he runs so he doesn't overheat)

I am not sure if I sent the one of Johnny before--but I thought they make great bookends as they sit on the "throne" wearing their title ribbons (Johnny's pic was when he won his Excellent title (AX)--


Hi All,

I am just getting loads of great news today about the Bedlington family. These pictures are from Nancy Kostaliba , who lives in the state of Pennsylvania, USA. These two boys are littermates from a litter grandsired by one of my old Champions, Ch. Marikov Sam I Am. That would make them Ancesters of Billy’s Miss American Pie & Harley and Bud that you have seen on here, with their catch of the day, the possum.

Nancy has done us all proud with these 2 boys, by first getting their conformation championships and then taking them into performance classes here in the states. Both obedience and agility.
The boys will both be 12 years old this next spring. And, they are both still competing in performance events and loving every minute of it. And, showing the world that Bedlingtons are smart enough to do just about anything that they and their owners enjoy doing together.
Huge CONGRATULATIONS to Nancy, Diamler & Johnny!!!!!!! Thank you for doing the Bedlington community proud.

Quiet Weekend

Here are the boys!


Here is the whole gang!

Hi All,


Well, I have not heard word one from Billy & the girls. Hope they are having fun and doing some winning, too.



I did get a nice post this morning from Sandra & Norman, with a pictorial update on Poppy's puppies! (Try saying that 3 times in a row!) They are getting to the CUTE stage now, and will soon be at the lots of work stage for Sandra & Norman. When the growls start, and the bouncing and tumbling. I love that stage, even if it is more work. Love to watch them try to run and fall over their own feet, grab one another in play fight mode and just be devilish little puppies. That is what keeps me breeding from time to time, even when I have to face a setback or heartbreak. Uncle Billy Bob is very proud!



As always,



Mary Lou & The Woofs

Groom day

Miss Molly playing cool


Billy Bob & Molly, the shadows

Well, for what it is worth, the kids all got groomed today. HAH! Like they care. It was immediately out the door to play in the wet grass and roll and tumble. Oh well, I guess they are happy kids. But, they are shadows of one another. When you see one of them, you see the other. Billy Bob definitely knows that Molly is his girl.

It will be a quiet weekend, as Billy is off to Wales for a show with the working girls and I am off the Lake WALES, US to groom dogs for the weekend. I will be back on Sunday and Billy will be back on Monday. I expect to see some win pictures on Monday night! Go git um Minnie & Colin.

Mooching Minnie

Puppy Update!!!!!

Looks like 4 Bedlys in a pie instead of 4 & 20 blackbirds!


We are growing already.

Got these pictures today of Sandra & Norman's babies. They are growing like weeds. I am so jealous of Victoria getting a new baby. (G)

Last years HEART OF WALES

NEW BABIES

What a doting mum.


She sure looks proud of her babies

Well, I got a great surprise email this afternoon from Sandra & Norman, letting me know that Miss Poppy had had her babies on Sunday morning. Are they CUTE or what? They knew I would love these babies because the are liver and because I have the clown, Billy Bob, from Sandra & Norman. I asked them if I could post these to the blog, so everyone could have an AWWWWWWW! Nothing like baby puppies to melt the hardest of hearts.

You will have to ask Sandra & Norman about the bloodline. I forgot to ask that. DUH!

Thanks Sandra & Norman for sharing these puppy pictures with all of us. I will be expecting updates at the grow.

Cheers,

Mary Lou & the Woofs

The Heart of Wales

Just received this in the post,my invitation to THE HEART OF WALES working terrier and lurcher show.
Looks like another Gipcyan mission

NBTC Champ show

Have a look on Bedlington Pictures for full results of the show








Minnie and Miss Colin yet again find that mooching in bush's much more interesting



Great venue,with en'suite parking and camping....
i think?.... well no one told me to move

information overload

Hodophobia- Fear of road travel.

lol..i think i have a fear of " GETTING LOST "

our Julie

Julie had a great day at the NBTC.
i did take more pictures of her winning but dont know were they are!!
ok then Julie how did you do ?

Still here then

There you go,i see everything still ticking over while i have been away and Anglo American relations still good.
That is why i left the blog in charge of a former editor of Tassels and Tails,
right person right job.
looking good and a competition thrown in as well....great stuff Mary Lou

The lost warriers finally check in

Well, Billy thinks he needs a bigger Jeep to pull the caravan. This one is bogging down.


Isn't this a pretty typical English countryside picture? Everyone looks like they might be having fun.

WOW! What a lovely venue for the NBTA Show. Everyone looking lovely.

Don't the Bedlingtons look wonderful against the green carpet. The NBTA should be very proud of this showsite. It is lovely.

Well, Billy finally got a signal for the laptop so he could check in. He is still a couple of hours from home just taking a quick snack break along the highway.
We are safe for that long, til he gets to the blog and sees that we have been playing while the cat was away! YIKES! That's OK, he will go off again and we can find something to keep us occupied while he is off. TEE HEE HEE!

Til then,

Mary Lou & The Woofs

Just updates

Don't you expect to see a cowboy riding up and an indian chief following him?

Prickly Pear Cactus (These the leaves and bloom are both edible and quite tasty, I must say)

Mesquite Trees are everywhere. They are used extensively here and in Mexico for flavoring BBQ meats. The bark is burned along with the charcoal.

Barrel Cactus. I think everything there has thorns!!!!! But they are all pretty this time of year as they do have very exotic blooms.

Hi All, I am glad to say we got some response to our Find the Bedly Contest.

First - Tina & Susan tied posted at the exact same time.

Next - Julie

Next - Mel

Will be getting the prize in the post this week. Thank you girls for proving that I am not crazy. I also see things in cloud formations!

Have not heard a word from Billy since he and the girls got there. I sure hope he and John did not get lost in the forest while the girls were hunting. And hope the dogs all caught their game.

To take up a bit of space, I am including a few more pictures from my holiday in the old Southwest of the cowboys & indians territory from lore.

Have a great week. And, we will see what we can get going the next time Billy goes off and leaves us to play.
