Thanks, Gaylon,

Today, Rowdy got bathed, groomed and had is teeth scraped. He's showing tomorrow in Veterans at the Seminole Rottweiler Club of Tallahassee Specialty in Valdosta, GA. His long-time handler, Kimm McDowell, flew in from Michigan to stay with us and present him at the show (along with a slew of other -- less important dogs) and she did the tooth scraping.

James, Rowdy layed on the sofa with his head in my lap while Kimm scraped the tartar off of his rear teeth. He never complained or moved. I challenge anyone on this list to do that with their dog and still have hands (I held his mouth open for the procedure). And Rowdy is truly a Rottweiler. Sweet, gentle, confident, understanding, empathic and incredibly showy. Nice combination!

Rowdy is off to Valdosta and I'm home with the "pack". Linda is going to the shows for the next two weeks while I take care of the dogs and get work done. Sorry there won't be photos from that show. Maybe from the Dane Specialties I'm shooting next weekend.
