Gearing up for the National!
A week from now we'll be making our trek to Pigeon Forge, TN, for the Samoyed Club of America National Specialty. Me, two dogs, and loads of gear in a tiny little Pontiac Vibe--the SuperCar. I can't wait!

Finally getting a blog...
I probably should have done this a long time ago, but am officially creating a blog for my Samoyeds under my kennel name, Fionntan. It's Gaelic, and it means "white flame" or "small white one" depending on where you look or who you ask, but either way, it applies (though it might be a stretch to call either of our Samoyed boys "small").
We got our first Sam in 1999, for daughter Erin's 4th birthday. Rollie was her birthday present--she wanted a sled dog for her birthday, and we got the best kind : ) Rollie is still with us, and will be 12 in November. He was followed by a cast of rescue Samoyeds, including two who came and stayed--Gigi and Bonita, both of whom lived to be nearly 15.
Ray (CH Hawkwind's Padparaja O'Fionntan) came to live with us in 2007--he was my "PhD completion" gift to myself. He is my first "show" dog, and I've definitely been bitten by the show bug. We added Tarot (Hawkwind's Azurite In The Cards) to the pack this summer. She's eight months old now.
Ray sired his first litter this summer, with Hawkwind's Painted Canyon Agate. You can find links to the Hawkwind page (for more info about Ray and the other Hawkwind dogs) and the Dice Samoyeds page (for more info about Ray and Agate's puppies) here on my page.
Bear with me--I'm new at this : )
