They say it's your birthday...

Here he sleeps.  My now 2 year old English Bulldog.  Seriously, he sleeps so much, I am totally coming back as him in my next life.  His birthday gift is that I am home with him for the day.  Stella is sick (shocking I know) with bronchitis, so we will all be spending the day together.  Happy birthday buddy!  You enjoy those naps today :)

Dog Show!

As promised, A few shots from the 2012 Detroit Kennel Club Dog Show.  If you weren't able to make it down, look into it next year.  It's a great day for families, animal lovers and those who just like to people watch.   

We even got to meet the 2102 Westminster Kennel Club Best in Show, Malachy.

This French Bulldog was actually part of a rescue.  There were several different breed rescues there to talk to and find out about adoption. 

This one year old competitor sat nicely while being groomed.  Imagine that.... :)

Not so gentle reminder

Barkley just wanted to remind me again that he prefers leather over his ridiculous amount of toys.

Introducing.....

Barkley!  He is the latest addition to the Schmidt family and clearly the most photogenic.  See for yourself...

 And lastly, we attempted a self portrait just for fun
