Shrek meets the Princess

Now, you have to remember that Dooley thinks he's a 65 pound boxer and not a 15 pound Boston Terrorist . . . so when he came face to face last weekend with Julie Wilson's petite little silver poodle he just didn't know how to act or what to say! He soon alienated her completely with his jumping and "balls to the wall" behavior and she let him know in no uncertain terms that she wanted nothing to do with the likes of him! Can't say as I blame the princess as he no doubt would have drooled on her pom poms and mussed her spray - she is a gorgeous little rock star and if he's ever going to hang with her, he needs to learn his manners!

We had fun at the Des Moines show nonetheless - Dooley's WD and BOS was for naught as there was no competition but we always need the practice and gentle reminders for him to keep all four on the floor and not try and chase down the dog in front of him . . .

We're off to reunite Shrek and the Princess this weekend in Seward at a fun match - maybe he'll be so enthralled by her he will act like a gentleman - but being a realist, he will probably jump on her and want to box with her just like he does with Echo at home . . . Shrek indeed!!!

Here's Dooley's first Best of Breed win - isn't he a handsome little Ogre??
