Kstme, me and my boys love watching the Eukanuba Dog Show. Loved little Coco from last year ... so cute!

I love seeing all the dogs! But my Maggie May is a Silky so Go Silky's!

Thanks for the reminder! BTW the dogs in your profile are beautiful, are they yours?

Vacanick...Whoohoo!! Silky's are so adorable!!! <i'll do a silent cheer for them!!>

Stump who was the Best of Show winner last year is the grandfather of our new little girl, Cami. We're hoping Cami's mom will do really well tomorrow.

No, the dogs in my profile belong to our breeder in England. They are all relatives of Maggie and Ollie.

Silky's are so cute Vacanick!

Oh my gosh! I'll be seeing royalty on the show! How cool is that Kstme? I have to admit I really cheer for the Maltese.. :-) Now I have more to cheer for. I love the Eukanuba Dog Show.

Glad to hear Oscar is recouping!

Its been three months now since Boomer's passing. His absolute favorite breakfast to share with us was eggs and toast. I don't know if I'll get in trouble telling you this (since doggie laws seem to be very strict), but he and Bomba were very adept at what we call "mind warping." They send us a vibe, and we just know what they'd want. Bomba still does it.

One of our games is when Mom gets up and I ask her what she wants for breakfast. Of course then she'd turn to the Boys and ask what we were having that day.

When Boomer briefly lost his appetite, I even tried to make him and egg, and he didn't eat it. When he got his appetite back, I told him that night that I would wait "a day or two" for his tummy to get back to normal, then we'd all have eggs and toast. Then of course, the next day he was gone.

Needless to say, neither Mom nor I have had the heart to have eggs and toast since.

During the last week or so, Mom said she's been getting eggs and toast vibes again. We discussed if we were ready to try it again. And yesterday she finally requested eggs and toast for her breakfast. We decided that Boomer is still with us, and somehow or other, he'd be here to share this breakfast with us. I'm not sure if Mom realizes that yesterday was the 3 month anniversary of Boomer's last day with us.

I came into the kitchen and got out all the stuff to make them. Still wondering if I would even be able to fix them. I was already tearing up a bit. Then I turned towards the computer, and there on my screen saver was the black bear picture I'd downloaded two days before Boomer passed. I'd downloaded the pic cause the bear's lip was hanging down sort of loose, showing pink on the inside of his lip....just like Boomer's.

I think Boomer sent me that picture, to let me know it was okay. That it was time to make the eggs and toast. That he would be here with us.

So, I made the eggs. I almost always break one of the yolks while cracking the egg, or when flipping the egg over in the pan. It suddenly became terribly important to me that I make these eggs absolutely perfect. This was becoming a breakfast that would pay homage to our dear boy. I know I probably over reacted and got overly dramatic. But I just couldn't help it. I was even literally shaking when I picked up the first egg to crack it into the pan. So I stopped for a second, said a little prayer, and proceeded.

Neither yolk broke. Mine was just a tad overcooked, but it still had plenty of runny stuff to dunk my toast in. Mom said hers came out perfect.

Thank you Boomer. The eggs were good.

Whoami, you told that story beautifully. I never would have thought that I could tear up over breakfast! I think your boy was with you all right and I bet he was glad that you and your mom were enjoying your eggs and toast again.

Who, I was in tears! You have such an incredible way of telling something. It touches the heart.

A BIG Congrats to our Cami's mom, Gwen!! She took Best of Opposite (sex) and Stump took Best of Breed at the Eukanuba this morning. Stump will go on, Gwen won't, but it's still pretty amazing!

Yes, Owl. They 'should' be under 15" in the US. Under 17" in the UK. I'm so excited for Stump! He's an amazing dog and he's Cami's Grandpa!!!!! WHOOOOOOOOHOOOO! <i'm a sickie, i'm a sickie> LOL

It would be so unbelievable if he took the whole thing! No Sussex has EVER gotten this kind of recognition before!! WHOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!

Is it true that the viewers can vote? See Here

Can't get the voting to load, but the behind the scenes video loaded. I think I just saw Herckie's Herc's brother running the course.

The viewers can vote for 'their' favorite breed 'as' they are shown. You can't go back to tonight's groups, but you can vote tomorrow night in the 3 groups being shown then. You have to vote 'before' the judge announces the winner.

Ummm...Gracie, i found a bottle of champagne...LOL would you believe the cork popped off all by itself? hee hee

Thanks, Herckie, but I can't tell you how foolish I feel to have him in the midst of this amazing discussion on The Eukanuba Dog Show! LOL!! (Did you check out the behind the scenes video in that link I provided? It's early on.)
