Dog Shows - Woodstock 2008

Well, I woke up in serious pain - actually been up half the night. My back hurts terribly and not sure why. I did manage to get the Woodstock dog show videos up on You Tube. You can find them here:


I couldn't match music - too long and you can't put it up as one file as You Tube has its limits so I had to do 4. I didn't make them slick - just way too much work when I have other things on my plate but it does allow you a view. I didn't not erase ANY copy so its crude. Sorry but the owners get to see what their handlers were doing and the owner handlers get to see what the other are doing in all their glory. The only thing I did was take out the audio. Sorry, Kathy - I did not get that winning face. Enjoy!

Buster Visits Wasabi's Blog

Well little lady Wasabi, what was I -R'Gang's Buster At Rockhurst- a fleeting stop in your life? I came to see your lovely face and what – not a single mention of me. My nose is out of joint!

We made beautiful magic together and that's not all we made together! You just wait till mid-October to see I don't just love them and leave them with nothing.

We are going to have amazing pups - the best - you just wait!

The rumour is out that we are going to have six little darlings. I best get a ton of photos. It's the least you can do, don't you know!

Well my mom, Beth Obrecht is telling me I am spending too much time reading your site. Maybe she's telling herself - not again!

It's okay mom. I haven't convinced Sonrisas' Hot N Spicy Wasabi (oh, I just love that name) to run away with me. She rather likes it at her place where her packmates, Whitney, Terra, Risa, Shoshi and Katsuro would be more than miffed if she decided to go anywhere but at her home!
