I’m home with my cousin Zara! I missed Kathy. We were at Auntie Sara’s house for 7 weeks. Doin[t get me wrong, we had a blast playin with our GSP and Aussie friends, but being home is huge. We finished our stay by going to a UKC dog show. Zara place first in her class with her new JR handler friend Paige, while I finished my Grand Champion UKC title. Time for catching up with Kathy and my service work!

Guess what. I found a boyfriend! I get to meet him this spring. I guess this means I’ve really grown up.

So Zara and I have been staying with Sara while Kathy recovers from surgery. I’m enjoying playing with all my Aussie and GSP friends. Zara never stayed overnight with me here. Sara is happy to report Zara fit right in and has buddies up with Sara and Brandan’s oldie Aden. They chew bones together and hang out on the couch together. I have checked in with my cousin Zara from time to time. I gotta let her know I still have her back. I do miss Kathy, but so happy while I’m not home, I’m with my best friends!

Happy New Year! I’m spending it with all my friends: Zara, Ellen, Stella, Stache, Parker, Trouble, Aden, and Moose.

I’ve been a busy girl…my life has been full of puppy socializing and working as my service dog for Kathy . Lately it has been this Aussie puppy named Karma. I’m learning to finally play with her. At first I wasn’t sure when Karma was younger, but know I’m figuring out I can play with her. Kathy’s has many appointments so I have been helping her out. My last visit I wore some Christmas clothes to cheer up the staff at the clinic. I’m getting better at doing my tasks without being asked. I can;t wait to move into being a full service dog. For now, I get to have tomorrow to play in the snow coming because Kathy’s clients all canceled so a SNOW DAY for me! More adventures to come.

November has been a very busy month. I had a visitor or two over almost every weekend. I even made new friends. These two Aussie puppies showed up a few weeks apart. I now have two new buddies. I’m told my heat cycle came early so I can’t become a mom right now. Hopefully this summer I will be a mom! I wasn’t feeling the best during my cycle so I didn’t play much with my friends like a usually do. Their next visits I promise to play more. For now..relax bore all my holiday activities.

07/11/2022

What a week! This little puppy invaded my house. She stayed like 5 days. At first I wasn;t sure about Karma (Aussie), but by the weekend I would try to play with her, but Karma didn’t like my big girl barks. I also played with a new friend, Max (English Setter) on Saturday. Zara was a good girl with Karm. Karma discovered she could bit ears and legs but not our tails. Tails are off limits. I was tired today since Karma went home Sunday. I can’t wait for Karma to come back and play with us.

Last weekend was the best! I went to this thing call FastCAT. Basically I got to run as fast as possible chasing a bag for 100 yards. Well, that what the people thought. I just wanted to get to Kathy. Zara on the other hand really wanted to get those bags and kill them. Zara ended up getting a special red ribbon since she did this years before I came into the picture. She now has the title BCAT to her name. I didn’t run fast enough and missed the title by 0.2 seconds. That’s crazy! Just give me that red ribbon like Zara has. I ran so fast, almost 25 mph each time. For now I’ll just keep squeaking the toy Zara won, because I stole it. It’s mine and she can’t have it back. I hid it in my crate in the car. Zara never goes in there, so she’ll never find it. I like to squeak it and let Zara know it’s all mine now! So she got the ribbon and I got the toy. The end!

26/09/2022

I’ve been a busy pup! We had tons of new friends stay at the house with us, and this past weekend a very nice neighbor lady and her son watched me and Zara. They brought along their pup to play with me. Zara and I are very good to the dogs that come and visit. Now I never know who will show up when the doorbell rings!

Guess what…I’m a Champion! I stayed in Ohio with my breeder, Kathy, in July. She took me to dog shows. My very last day, I won with a handler named Jeff. So now I can walk proud knowing I’m a Champion. I love my friends for helping me out. Who knows what’s in store for me next.

16/08/2022

Guess what….I’m a Champion! I stayed in Ohio and did some showing in Pennsylvania with my breeder Katherine Heintel. On my last day of showing, Kathy decided to put me with a professional handler named Jeff. He said I was very pretty and a good girl in the ring. He helped me achieve this goal. I am so proud and can’t thank my BFF Sara Nicole for helping me show. I’m told I get a break now from showing. I’m just happy to be a Champion now.

I love trying to out do my cousin Zara! Happy Easter.

29/03/2022

I’m in training right now to sharpen up my service work skills. Today was grocery store shopping. I’m learning so many new things thanks to the help from Medi-Dogs service dog trainer Annie. I received many treats and praises today for figuring things out. I’m so happy I can help Kathy out.

My Uncle Chance is visiting right now. We are best friends. I like to go wherever he goes. Chance isn’t a fan of me taking his toys away, but really I think he just lets me have them. Fun times when Uncle Chance comes. Jada and Zara like to play with Uncle Chance too. We will miss him when he leaves, but for now I’ll continue to enjoy playing with my Uncle Chance!

16/01/2022

I got to go to a dog show in Oshkosh with some of Kathy’s friends. She can’t go due to an up and coming surgery. I had fun. Both days Stephanie showed me and I placed Best of Winners & Best of Opposite S*x. I got some points for looking so pretty. Saturday night I played with my new friend Paisley the Gordon Setter. This dog show stuff isn’t half bad!

25/12/2021

I love my Cousin Zara. I tried to give her a Christmas kiss, but Zara wasn’t to thrilled about it. At least I tried.

25/12/2021

It’s present time!

20/12/2021

A week ago I went to a UKC dog show with Zara. We had a good time seeing friends, both dog and human. I took breed several shows and placed 4th out of all the Gun Dogs. Kathy had little expectations for Zara since she needs to loose some weight and get some muscle, but boy was she wrong. Zara took two Altered Reserve Best in Show placements! Not too shabby. Than Zara and I pranced around the ring together. We placed a Brace Best in Show and Brace Reserve Best in Show! Fir breaks we fetched a stick and played tug with it. So overall we had a great weekend. Next up holidays!

25/11/2021

I turned 2! I had a super day. I went to the farm and hung out with the cows, calves and met Chris the cat. When I got home we had a party! Nikki is visiting so she got to party with us. Everyone got a new marrow bone for my birthday. Grandma says I’m not a puppy anymore. I can be a puppy as long as I want! What a great birthday.

31/10/2021

I got all dressed up with my cousin Zara and BFF Jada

06/10/2021

I had a good weekend. I got to play with my aussie and GSP friends at Sara’s house. Than I went and pranced in the ring. I heard something about getting points. I guess that’s a very good thing. At the show I played with my Coton friends and made friends with a leonberger puppy and a Havanese. What a great weekend!

Sadly I’m not going to be the photo ham in the window after next week. I’m going to miss this place.

For the past 19 years, Kathy Ebben has been grooming Waunakee area dogs, making friends with them and their owners, some who have even taken her dogs to the vet

I had a great weekend at a dog show. I got to play with Puff, Bloom, Mack and Ash. I have two more ribbons to add to my slowly growing collection. I know one of these days I’ll get that blue ribbon.

21/08/2021

Time to go play in the big ring with like 300 Chesapeakes! I’m so excited. I just want to have fun. Zara will team up with me for one competition called brace. I love chewing on her ear during this, so that will be loads of fun! I’ll keep everyone posted on my adventures.

04/07/2021

I’m back at my birth home enjoying the holiday with my mom, cousins, and other relatives! I’m having a blast. More pictures to come. For now remember to keep your doggies and other animals safe during the fireworks.

22/06/2021

I had a great weekend. I got to go up north with my buddies. We went swimming, fishing, boating and even went to this place called the island. The island was amazing. I got to do tons of zoomies and jump into the lake from anywhere on the island. I’m very tired from this trip and ended up with a cut. Not bad, but I’m not suppose to lick it so it can heal. I can’t wait for my next adventure!

Hey gang. I’m heading up our WI state basket for the National Chesapeake Club Speciality Show. The baskets consist of items that represent the state or made by Wisconsin individuals. Cash donations are used to buy items. I need all donations by August 7. If you can help out, please drop donations off at my shop. Thanks!

08/06/2021

Look who came to visit...uncle Chance! I look forward to bugging him during his visit.

23/05/2021

My friend Lucy came for the day. We had a fun time playing fetch, cooling off in the kiddie pool and chasing bubbles. I’m not a fan of the hot weather, but having a friend come visit makes it worth the playing in the hot weather.

13/05/2021

I showed for the first time with Kathy in the AKC ring. We had good practice but didn’t get a blue ribbon. That’s ok. Sunday I showed with Sara in the UKC ring. We placed winners bitch both shows and best of winners in the second show. This was enough to finish my UKC Champion title! Kathy had me prance around the ring with Zara. We ended up getting Brace Best in Show and Reserved Brace Best in Show! We had fun. Now it’s back to practicing for the next show.

06/04/2021

I’m getting to be a big girl. I saw Dr. KC Brooks today for my rabies shot. I don’t need to get it again for 3 years. That means I’m no longer a puppy. Zara and Uncle Chance were great supporters for my appointment.

06/04/2021

Hi everyone....sorry for being behind on my life for you. I’ve been busy learning to be a show dog! Sara has been prancing me around rings. I’m getting ribbons, but told I need some special colored ribbons to get points. I know I’m pretty, the judges have to see me the best over other girl dogs. Someday I’ll get points, but for now I’m having fun and learning! Here is my latest show I attended. My cousin and uncle showed up to watch me. It was nice having family for support.

02/01/2021

I was able to play the last 24 hrs with Zara, Jada and Parker. We are having so much fun. Parker went home today, but I know she’ll be back again. I’m testing up so tomorrow I can have some more adventures with Zara and Jada.
