WINTER WEATHER IN SOUTH AFRICA!
Had a very exciting morning .... We woke up to snow ... Yes I know this is
not exciting, but in sunny South Africa it is a very rare occasion and we
get excited about it! I have attached some of the photos taken the early
hours of this morning. The puppy is by Phoenix ... She thought it was the greatest
to play in the snow!!! Love, Natasha ** Strathaven Aussies
Thank you for sharing, Natasha!

Good News from Dianne Escalada in West Palm Beach!
Hope you enjoyed your weekend. Congrats on another fantastic group win for Mr. Cruzan!!
We had a great time in Orlando this weekend. Majors for everyone all three shows.
Erica started the weekend out nicely by showing a bitch for a friend of ours. She
went WB/BOS taking a four point major. In juniors, Diesel and Erica showed great -
winning a first, third & fourth place in her tough open senior class. Here are some photos.
CONGRATULATIONS, Erica!

Congratulations Maria Neff! Second Select * Junior Showmanship
UKC 14th Annual Premier Dog Show

Today was nice out and we needed to pick some dish towels and a wine
thermometer up at Williams-Sonoma so we took Chante along. At the shopping
complex they allow dogs in all the stores... she enjoyed Pottery Barn the
best since they let her sit on the couch ;) Anyhow, we were also looking at houses
if I get a job in Palm Beach county... found about a 100 that we want!
Thought you would like some of the photos. Ami & Jordan Romanelli
