This is Errol's new page

Monday November 2nd 2009, life for the Kelpies and I changed.  Errol the Papillon flew in from Alaska to Newark Airport at 6:30 am that morning.  At least he did not have to travel 11 hours all alone.  He arrived with another pup, who was coming to my friend Andrea.  Errol and Bounder had what I believe is an uneventful flight.  They both did need baths upon their arrival in Queens.  They had the chance to play and stretch their legs, crash in exhaustion, be entertained by Raven my girl Kelpie.  Errol is a confident, lovely pup, with a stunning personality. 

Chris Hedberg (CHINAK) bred him and I have to say she did a fantastic job raising him.  He has such a great little attitude, with great self assurance.  He has made the transition from Alaska to New York, very smoothly!  I love him!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In Errol's short amount if time here in NYC he has done a ton of things.  He was at his first flyball tourney the next weekend, he has been to NH to visit and go to an agility trial.  He has gone to numerous trials, flyball events, disc dog events, following his older brother Kane and sister Raven around, wanting to learn all that they know.  Recently he was in two breed matches strutting his beauty pageant training.

The Kelpies are doing well with him.  Raven the girl likes him and they play well together.  Last night they just played tug with a toy for quite awhile and Raven was good, she did let him win.  She also lies down on the floor and lets him clean her ears and walk all over her.  Kane the boy is waiting until he grows up and is not longer an annoying little puppy!

His first breed major.  Thank you, Joan Behrend who has handled him in all his breed classes

  Errol's first agility Q!  At the Long Island Agility CPE trial January 2012!

These two photos were taken at Doggie U where I teach agility classes.  Errol was the advertising poster boy for the photographer.

He did a great job and I have to say that the photographer was very patient with a puppy with his short attention span!

I have some videos on youtube on the subject of Errol.  Him running around wildly, at the breed match, just doing stuff.

So one of my biggest pleasures  of having Errol share my life, is these three photos of him at the top of the stairs.  Riki used to do this to me all the time, wait for me, bark at me and then I would play little foot games with him.

Well, Errol as you can see has taken over for Riki and he does exactly the same thing. I really missed that little game we played.

I love this little dog.
