We're going, We're going ... to the IKC!

Sorry I've been out of touch lately.  My paws and nose have not been near a computer for awhile.  Mom has done her due diligence for Izzy and me in terms of taking us out to the dog park every weekend day but she has failed to take written note of my magnificence.  

Well ... I now know why.  She and my dad have been busy preparing for the IKC show in Chicago (International Kennel Club).  She is totally excited but totally freaked out about it.  We' re going to be something called "vendors" (whatever that means).  It is kind of her "debut" (also whatever that means) of her online retail store www.bumperpet.com.  

But, what about me?  I'm not supposed to know this but Izzy and I are going to spend the day at the groomer's tomorrow so that we'll look our best for "show time."  Then we'll be at the show on Thursday and Sunday.  Are we being shown?  No.  I don't have the necessary equipment (if you know what I mean) and neither does Izzy.  We wouldn't pass muster.  But we get to see some of our full- and half-siblings, all Tibetan Terriers!

Do you think I'll look like this? 

What about Friday and Saturday, you might ask.  Mom has decided that 4 days cooped up in craziness with two Tibetan Terriers might be more than she could cope with .... so, we get to go to our favorite doggy day care and we even get to have a pajama party there on Friday night.  

Or do you think I'll look like this?

We won't be totally cute on Sunday, especially because we'll get all messed up on Friday.  Mom promises to take tons of pictures while she's there and to tell everyone interested both the good about it and the not-so-good about how our newest 'venture' goes (whatever that is).  Keep your fingers and paws crossed for us.  Actually she needs the luck more than me and Izzy.  We IS BLESSED (by our awesome-ness).  And we IS humble, too.   Mom needs some TLC from her buddies out there.  

More to come .... stay tuned.
