Keeping white coat in the eastern hurricane weather can be a challenge for Mom but fortunately Mom is an Olympic Medalist and has boundless energy to keep up.

Valri’ started her show career in the ring with the famous Kaz Hosaka, who Handled “Vikki”, the all-time winning Toy Poodle in the history of the breed. Valri’ is currently growing more coat so that she can compete with the open females in the ever-competitive arena of the white Poodle Kingdom on the East Coast.

Coming soon Mimi and Valri’ will be shown in a Brace.

The American Kennel Club defines a Brace as follows in the. “Rules Applying to Dog Shows”

Section 18.

“Effective January 1, 2005. A brace is defined as two
dogs of the same recognized breed or variety that are similar
in appearance, performing in unison, and presented by
a maximum of two handlers. Both dogs competing in brace
competition must have at least one common owner.”

We wish you girls luck and kisses. At night we sit and tell our PoodleTown family about the adventures of Mimi and Valri’ a place far, far away where white Poodles are Kings and Queens.

Ganging up on Mom to get the groceries.

Valri Happily Watching TV In Miami

Although I am not closely involved as I don’t have relationships with families going through this. I could attempt to put myself mentally into the path they are taking at the moment. It’s worked like a charm for me.  Then here comes Veterens Day. How appropriate.

Today while watching The Bonnie Hunt Show (I really like her) during my afternoon break I saw a man who had experienced a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in Iraq. He had took a bullet in his brain. He is getting better now and can actually talk and walk. I wondered if the care he had been getting included Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). If not, how sad for him. Having a background in HBOT I saw and continue to see first hand the miracles that HBOT therapy is possible of.

I recently have seen the miracles of HBOT here at my Ranch where I have put my dogs in when I feel they are in need. Like “KIK” the poodle puppy who jumped off a front step thinking he could fly and landed on his chin. Kik suffered a spinal cord injury. Days later this 10 week old puppy was almost paralyzed and had been written off by the vets at the care center. Luckily his owner was quick thinking and called me. After realizing that Kik’s problem was muscular skeletal I took him to a Chiropractor who adjusted him and I gave him 2 HBOT treatments a day in my chamber here at Admiration Ranch. Seven days later we was good as new. That’s just one of my stories of HBOT.

I wasn’t aware until today that there are over 8000 Veteran’s who have suffered TBI’s in Iraq to date. I hope they have the benefit of HBOT.

To wives or husbands that are at home while their spouse’s serve in Iraq. I admire you for your selflessness. I thank you for helping me to feel lucky and so, so blessed today.

The poodles love our our walks and I love walking with them. Fletcher is in the house with us right now. He’s such a gentleman. He makes sure not to do anything offending while in the house so that he can enjoy his leisure time with us. Adia, our new show puppy, has been learning how fun it is to watch TV and snuggle on our bed. Anja still doesn’t know how her rear end works so I have to lift her onto the bed. Yes, I let poodles in my bed. My trainer says I need to walk Anja over a ladder that’s laying flat on the ground so she’ll get the idea her back end works. Cherri…well Cherri just flies onto the bed like a piece of popcorn popping. Ella thinks she should sleep between Don and me like a third person in the bed. She’s entitled and we don’t mind, she’s just wonderful!!!
