The Rodeo At Last!! ~ Disregard the date---this is Friday,June 26th!!

Bow Wow Whoopee!! The Kootenai River Rodeo is in town and I have a pretty little filly (WFT) accompanying me! Yes, the lovely Aggie has flown in from Boston and agreed to ‘go cowgirl’ for the weekend! She even brought one of our best buddies, the fabulous Miss Asta, to help with her outfit changes and provide some pictures!! This is a Pro-West sanctioned rodeo ~ the real thing friends! My little heart was just pounding in anticipation of Agatha‘s arrival. When she and Asta stepped off their private Learjet at the county airport I almost fainted. Such classy pups with how many bags?? Asta said she was just along to help Aggie out and said (& I quote), “You won’t even know I am there dear. Totally behind the scenes on this trip.” Of course, she said it with her little Baba Wawa accent, which I can not begin to imitate. He he.

All you wanna-be cowpokes, eat yor hearts out!!

Here is a quote about the rodeo from the Boundary County Digest, a local paper: Ken (Pres. of the Selkirk Saddle Club) explained that the Kootenai River Rodeo is a Pro-West sanctioned rodeo. Most of the contestants are Pro-West, but any resident who wants to complete can enter as a “local cowboy” if he/she lives within 75 miles of Bonners Ferry… Welllllll, guess who entered the team roping contest with me??!! Okay, she got disqualified due to the 75 mile rule, but what fun we had!! Doesn't she cut a pretty figure on that horse??

The above 4 photos were taken by our dear friend Asta. She is a master photographer. Seems she takes after her artistic momma. Thanks Asta!! We'll have a few more rodeo pics later. Hope you have enjoyed these. We all had a great time!!

Welshie Hugs and Kisses,

Going Up North & Rodeos ~ Yippee Ky Oh Ky Ai!!

Mommy's getting all excited about going home to our log cabin in Idaho and the fever is catching. I am feeling the wander lust myself! Once there Hootie and I will be free to roam our little patch of forest and if we are good, will get to ride down town when the folks go to check the mail. Real excitement. He he. The Kootenai River Rodeo in Libby, Montana is July 24-25 and the Bonner County Rodeo is in Aug 14-15. Both are top notch rodeos and we are really looking forward to putting on our cowboy hats and watching some bull riding, barrel racing and roping. Yee haw!!

When we get to farrr N.Idaho we do not have a land line or an internet hook up at our place, so our time on the internet will be limited to visits to the library and Mommy's favorite internet hangout McDuffs Brewing Company, Grill/Irish Pub. She says the beer cheese soup is delish. I wouldn't know, as she never offers to share it with me. boooo.

Okay, better go now, as it is the wee hours of the morning here in Phoenix. Hope you enjoy the rodeo photos we posted (they're from the internet) to get you all excited about rodeos too!

Well, Blogger went down just as I was ready to post this, so it's just a few hours late. Have a good day all!

Smooches, Baby Rocket Dog
