G.K.'s Countdown to Westminster!

G.K.'s Countdown to Westminster!

Posted by Ghenghis Khan

As you all know, I am one of the lucky ones who was invited to compete in the 136th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, held at Madison Square Garden in New York City.  In preparation, I am presently staying with my breeder, Karen Tracy and I am in training with my handler, Jan Kolnik.  The …

Spring Chores During Winter - Go Figure!

Spring Chores During Winter - Go Figure!

Posted by F&S

We keep talking about what a mild winter it’s been.  Driving around the farm the other day, we observed a lot of action going on in the vegetable garden.  I guess if it’s going to be unseasonably warm, you might as well take advantage of the situation!

How many of you Daily Wag readers saw that very funny Sketchers commercial during the Super Bowl about Mr. Quiggly, the French bulldog?  Apparently, if a Frenchie wears a set of Skektchers running shoes, he or she can outrun a pack of greyhounds!  Too funny!

Finding Safety in an Apple Tree

In our never-ending quest to be crackerjack squirrel chasers, we tore across the farm after one the other day.  We were just inches away from its tail, when the darn thing darted and made a beeline for the hollow of an old apple tree.  You’ll get yours yet, squirrel!

We dogs were sitting at the kitchen door the other day watching the world go by, when I spotted a very strange thing out in the courtyard.  After investigating, I found out that this object was sent from a place in Brooklyn, NY called Dig Gardens.   Now we just have to figure out why?

Now that it’s winter, food is becoming scarce for many animals in the wild.  In fact, it has been brought to our attention that a couple of hungry red foxes have been spotted very near to our house.  While we, Frenchies, are being very cautious outdoors, we did come across something very interesting the other …

Last week, Francesca blogged about me travelling to Maryland to compete in another dog show.  With the Westminster Kennel Club Show quickly approaching, my breeder, Karen Tracy and my handler, Jan Kolnik want me to get as much experience as possible.  Here are Karen’s photos showing what happened in Maryland.

What We Didn't Know About Donkey Hooves

As you may know by now, I love playing with our miniature donkeys, Clive, Rufus, and Billie.  The other day, I was running in their paddock trying to get them to play with me, but they said that they had something important to do in the stable.  At first I thought they were just brushing …

The other day, Franny and I went outside in hopes of doing a little squirrel chasing.  One of the best places to find squirrels at the farm is under the bird feeders, where there is usually a free meal waiting for them.  On that particular day, however, we came upon a sorry scene.
