Marie Johansson reports in January 4, 2009:
Hi Everybody! I know A-L has told you about this wonderful weekend. I am so proud that my little Lucy become BOS one day.
I did not think she would beat Enya. Lucy does not have that much coat . She is going into heat soon and I am going to breed
her to “Bommie boy." The judge really loved Lucy (she has been judging her two times before). Today she said to me that Lucy runs
 like a train and that Lucy is a QUALITY bitch! I have got some pictures of my girls and of me and Boom. I did show Boom on Saturday.
He was a fun dog to show. He had a lot of energy! When I went home from Gothenburg I took Chauncey with me, he is a wonderful dog.
When we are out in the forest he runs and he runs. He loves to play with Olivia and he LOVES to sleep in my bed.
Now finally we have SNOW !!! The dogs has been out and played a lot in the snow!!!  Hug Marie, Lucy and Olivia
CONGRATULATIONS ON AN AWESOME WEEKEND Marie!

I think AL has told you the results from last week, Lucy became BOB at a big show in Västerås.
The judge really liked her. It was the same judge that gave her the first CC. She told me that she has
checked Lucy out and that she has been seeing that she has done very well at all the dog shows she been to !!
I think that was fun to hear ! But now something else. Today, Lucy got her first obedience title here in Sweden.
 Her new name will be: LP 1 Thornapple Ruby Passion. I am so proud of her, she has done a good job.
At the club we went to today she also became “The best obedience dog of the day”.
Now we can say that Lucy is BRAIN and BEAUTY


OBEDIENCE NEWS!
I just want to tell you that Lucy is a girl with both beauty and brain ! Yesterday we went to our first obedience competition.
I have been at a few competitions before but Lucy has never been at a obedience competition. It is a lot of things
 that you should do with the dog, fetching, jumping over an obstacle (I don’t know if you spell it that way ) and a lot of other
 things. Little Lucy did a great job and got a first price…If we get two more first price she will get her first obedience title..
She is the girl of my dreams !!!!!! She do everything I tell her to do ! Here are photos from Lucy's competition. Hug, Marie and Lucy
