We went to the dog shows on Oahu in Aiea last weekend. Myshka started showing her pregnancy on Friday as we flew over from Kona. Even though she was starting to show her pregnancy, she still did well at the show taking Best of Winners and Best of Opposite Sex under a very nice boy that Pam Mizuno shows for Otley.
Anyway, I am about as excited as can be that we will have puppies in about three to four weeks.
Kathleen arrives in eight days, so it will be FUN, FUN, FUN. Bryce, my grandson, arrives on the 5th and then leaves the 15th. Charlotte Ware comes when Kathleen comes, but only stays until the 7th. Kathleen leaves the 18th, but comes back for good on the 25th. She will bring back Reese with her on the 18th. Yippee!!!!
So, that is it for the moment.

Finally!!!!!
I now have my computer back up. How long has it been? A long time....
Elwha Border Terriers now live in Hawaii, on the Big Island, in a place called North Kohala. Nice, rural, warm year round. What more could a person want?
The dogs love chasing after the many and various rats, mongoose, egrets, avocados falling from trees, etc. The curmudgeon loves eating the avocados, even though there are too many when they are ripe and freezing them does not enhance anything. My tomato garden has been a blessing, and Costco another blessing to have lettuce. Lettuce does not grow well in the heat in which we now live, but the lemons, limes, lychee, bananas, guavas, lilikoi or passion fruit, breadfruit, etc. grow and produce beautifully. So much fun to plant, tend and enjoy the amazingly exotic flowers and plants it is hard to describe. The dogs seem to love working out in the yard with me and I with them.
I will have to walk around the yard taking pictures to put on the blog. I can hear the clamber now!
What dogs are here with me? Pip, my girl. Loyal to the core. So far. Looking good, groomed well and in beautiful form. Myshka, from Russia, from a REAL Russian, sweet and a ball nut just like Pip is. No throwing the ball when both are present in the same yard! Myshka has recently been bred to Henry who arrived from Akenside and Lesley Gosling on May 3, 2017. Believe it or not, Henry and Myshka are slightly related! Both are as sweet as they come and I am very eager to see what they can produce. On September 25, 2017, Reese and Kathleen will move here also and we shall see what Reese and Henry can produce. They are not related, besides both being Border Terriers! Reese is yet another ball crazed BT. Sigh. Myshka and Henry and I will fly to Oahu Aug. 18 for dog shows in Aiea. Wish us luck. Myshka has her majors so only needs points to become a champion. Henry needs them all. It will be hard to get championships here as there are very few BTs to build up points. I am very much hoping that Myshka is pregnant, but also hoping that she will not be showing her pregnancy by the time of the dog shows. It will be a close call!!! If she is, I'll just take Henry. Maybe.
I guess I'd better try to figure out how to get pictures of the dogs and the yard on here so that I am not bombarded with vitriol. Ha!
Yes, the white pineapples are ripe now. No, you can't even imagine how good they are! Yes, I am growing those too. I forget all the things I am growing.
So much for today and I am thankful for the computer being back in gear so that I can now bore you with my silliness and pictures, when I can figure it all out. Finally now know how to get the vacuum to take the dirt off the walls! How can a vacuum be complex??!!! I guess that just shows how old and senile I'm becoming....
Curmudgeon time....
