Maxx's brother Otto (aka Dexter) has moved to Hawaii!
A new, expedited entry system for dogs allowed him to avoid any
quarantine period when he moved there from Seattle with his owners.
MAXX was Hot, Hot, Hot ! ! !
Maxx and Toro and Luna were at shows this weekend in Coeur D'Alene, Idaho.
Temperatures were in the 110 range by late afternoon.
MAXX was Best of Breed both days, TORO was Winner's Dog for 2 points, both days,
and LUNA was Reserve Winner's Bitch both days.
Judges were Barbara Watt from Canada, and Mrs. Jean Fournier.
Mrs. Fournier said she really, really liked Maxx, and while he was in the group under
Judge B. Watt, Maxx let out a loud burp while she was looking at his bite.
The judge and several people standing close had a good laugh at his lack of manners.
TORO has moved on to a new show home. He is living with Leslie Kubik in Ritzville, Washington.
Early reports are that he is fitting right in with her Schnauzers and Whippet, and other Frenchies,
stealing their toys and trying to eat their food, and having a ball playng with all his new family members.
Summer is hot dog season!
Toro and his mom Gertie return from an
afternoon at the off-leash area.
For all the folks who've emailed and asked for more pictures of Woody,
here he is. At age 9-1/2 he's still doing great.
He loves chasing toys - the noisier the better.
July 1-2 was another great weekend for the Tahoma gang. Toro and Luna both won Reserves to majors,
and Maxx won a Non-Sporting Group 3!
Around 25 Frenchies turned out for our June 25 French Bulldog Walk at the Robinswood Park off leash area in Bellevue, WA.
Lots shade trees and a light breeze provided relief from the near-record heat.

I walked into the kitchen, and there was Toro, standing on the open dishwasher...
Here are the captions you suggested:
"This looks like a light load, I can give them a spit shine."
"Just checking to see if they needed pre-washing"
"Is my bowl clean???"
"Toro's trying to earn an allowance."
"Forget about a groomer, we've got the dishwasher."
"Tahoma French Bulldogs - Better trained than most kids...our dogs do the dishes."
"Who says I don't do my chores! More dishes please!"
"WHAT?"
"Hmmm...I guess these dishes are clean enough. Now, you still have to make the beds and scrub the floors. Any questions?"
"You can't see me"
"Hey are these clean?"
"I want to lick the bowl before you put it in here"
"Hey Woody, stay in there, they'll be gone in a minute after they take my picture!"
"I swear everybody gets up here"
"Don't come any closer or I'll lock myself in"
"How do you think I got up here?"
"Just adding a little dishwashing soap"
"Forget-a-bout-it-nothing to see here"
