There was also quite a few Dobies there! Mostly blacks and one red, all of them were beautiful and I said so to the owners but none of them seemed to be as chatty or friendly as the folks on here.

Wow that's odd since the ones I meet at UKC shows around here are happy to talk Doberman and happy to see another Doberman person. Maybe it's because there aren't as many in this area or maybe because I have Della attached to my arm when I go talk to them.
 
I was feeding the horses this morning when I happened to see a deer running along the back of my property. He stopped and turned around and looked at something and then continued running! My first thought was, where is Buddy?:facepalm: The deer came running up our property but I didn't see Buddy. What I did see was Kali! She was at the barn with me but she's suddenly spotted the deer! She took off at a right angle to him and I thought she was going to catch him! But he disappeared into the woods and she came when called, believe it or not. And no e collar. Not that she came right away when I called. But after a few screams, lol, at least she didn't follow him to the next County LOL then I turn around and Buddy was behind me kind of looking like which way did he go, which way did he go? LOL he was late to the party but I knew that he had seen him by the stripe down his back!:spit:

I’m not sure if it was just these people in general, or because I had Rio on my arm and not another dobie. No one seemed very impressed when I mentioned Brinks either, the “mutt” lol but I’m not offended I know what a great dog he is even though he’ll never be in a show.
 
Aww you are sweet @MyBuddy! Overall though most of the people were very friendly and offered helpful advice, especially when I mentioned it was both of our first show. I got the gist that the dog show community is fairly tight knit and people were curious who we were and where we appeared from, lol. There was one man in particular who approached us and was so nice and coached me a bit, turns out he has multiple grand champion GSDs (working type) and his beautiful female won that day. He congratulated us and was impressed with Rio, which meant a lot and is super encouraging! And another woman who is from Germany and has been involved with the breed most of her life also had a lot to say, to say I got more than I bargained for (in a good way) is an understatement.

I was a little reserved at our first UKC show since I didn't know many people there at the time, except a couple members here, which really helped. Now when I go they act like I'm Norm at Cheers and everyone says "Hi Jan, you're here!" when I walk in. LOL
 
Yesterday I was on my way to a dentist appointment. Driving a two-lane road, I suddenly I see a small dog running down the middle of the road coming toward me!:wideyed: I'm like, what the... I see that there is a line of cars behind him going slow. So I knew they had seen him and we're being careful. I immediately looked behind me and there was only one car coming up on me so I slowly came to a stop and threw on my hazards. I can see a couple of people in the cars coming toward me were trying to coax the dog to them. He would take a brief moment to look at them... And then take off.:facepalm: As he was coming closer to me, I did the same. Opened my car door and called him to me. He hesitated only for a moment. And then he was off again.:groan: As the oncoming cars were slowly passing by me, one gentleman and I struck up a brief conversation. He said, "He's got a collar on!" I said, " I know and he's got tags! He's not a stray. He belongs to someone!" I was so mad that I couldn't catch him. As the gentleman passed me I watched as he tried again to coax the dog to him. But no luck! OMG, I was so disappointed! And so mad that I had an appointment LOL I really would have stayed to help but I had to go.

I thought about him the whole time and I had a very quick appointment. So on the way home I was looking! When I came upon the spot where the dog was I noticed there were some cars pulled over. And I saw one lady that I recognized from earlier! So I quickly pulled over on the shoulder. I was staying to help! But there was no need. As I look to my left this is what I saw!

I can't speak for conformation but definitely confirm this for agility. I live outside Chicago for crying out loud and recognize dozens of people/dogs at each trial we go to and we trial across 3 venues and only get out once a month or so. When Rubes and I first started out, we got a lot of "Where do you train at?" questions because I guess that's how you find common ground in the dog world :D

My handsome little man! Dog Dad says he thinks Moo is looking a little on the slim side but I think he looks like a lean, mean, chocolate machine. I measured him the other day and he was a smidge over 22" tall which means, if I measured right, he'll be categorized as a 24" jump height dog; jumping 20" in select/preferred/veteran in agility which I'm super bummed about. I was really hoping he'd measure into the 20" jump category so I could lower him to 16" in select/preferred/veteran.

@LifeofRubie He is a great looking chocolate lab. Love the big head on him! I have a neighbor with a really lanky lab. Most I see around here don't have that stocky look.

So reef tank is coming along. Going slow with it. Just ordered a bunch of stuff and will be ready to put the first corals in it soon. Its looking too pristine. Waiting for some algae to show up.

My other tanks had diatoms pretty early on. But I cured the rock for a few months in a rubbermaid bin. Maybe that let the rock leach out phosphates before I added light. Who knows. Im sure ill get whacked with hair algae soon!
 
Found this mushroom in my front yard. I saw the bright colors and thought it wouldn't be good if Jasper took a bite. I found 6 total. Through further research, I believe that this is a yellow fly agaric mushroom, which is a psychoactive and hallucinogenic. One article claims it blocks the fear receptors in our brains. It stated that it is believed vikings ate this before raiding a village. Not sure how accurate this is, but kinda cool in a way.

Anyways, they were all thrown away. I won’t be having a crazy fearless doberman any time soon. But let this remind people that things like mushrooms really should be picked and thrown out. Just keep an eye out!
