I'm finally caught up enough to tell you all about our trip to Carmel and Ojai. I'm so glad our first night was nothing like the rest of our trip! Our "cottage" was a complete disaster! It was a complete dump, smelled moldy and mildewy, the floor were uneven, the carpets were horribly stained and it was ancient!! We were supposed to stay there three nights!! I could barely get through 1 night. We did meet another couple with their Cavalier who were also there for the fun match. They had a newly remodeled unit....it was nice.
So, on Saturday we headed to Carmel for a little shopping. Found Diggity Dog....what a store!!! I was in heaven. But we had to head out for the show.

Stopping for a little rest
How cute was this??!! A real estate office had a bowl of water and chest of doggie treats out front. Yep, Jake is eye-balling those treats!
Sitting on the wall in front of the park...NO DOGS ALLOWED!!!
And then we were off. The match was fun. Lots of great little dogs. I finally I got to meet (in person!) the woman I help with rescue. And her 3 dogs. The best part.....sitting and chatting with Jeanne!! Darby and Tucker are so dang cute....that Tucker, I just can't get enough of that silly little face. There was a longest ears contest....but I was so busy talking we completely missed it. Oh well, we would have gotten out butts beat by this black & tan that had to be hairest boy I've ever seen!!

Sorry about this one Jeanne! I'm not sure what you were doing...but we know what Tucker was doing....trying to get away from those kids!! This little girl was just nuts about Tucker....Tucker not so much nuts about her. He completely buried himself into Jeanne's neck!!
Taking in the show
We spent the 2nd night at the Best Western. Ah.....no mildew!! And then off to Ojai. We went the coast route.
Checking out the view
Hey....where's our pizza??!!!
Snoozing away.
I was in a store in Ojai when a woman came up. She said she had been "stalking" me!! She saw the dogs and that was what she's been looking for. She turned the car around and we were gone. So she started going into stores until she found us. I've sent her some info on breeders and hope she finds her own little bundle of joy soon.
Our suite in Oaji was so nice and so relaxing. We just laid around and rested. Did a little shopping. Went out for dinner. And slept like we were sleeping in a cloud!
All in all....a great trip!!! And the dogs were so good for the whole trip. Jake didn't even mark once!!!
