Rick Goldsmith's Place on the Web
The 2014 Doggie Dash is now in the history books. It was a little drizzly at the start, but it cleared up. Everyone (including all the dogs) had a great time. This year the Dash exceeded their target of $500,000 with a total of $504,294 donated. Thank you to everyone who supported Calypso, Miss Jazelle, and me!

The Dash is only about 3 weeks away. Calypso, Miss Jazelle, and I will be leading our team from work. Please donate to this worthy cause at the following link!

Here is a new picture of my new trainee, Calypso (at 11 weeks):
Here are a few pix of the Oregon Humane Society Doggie Dash on 14 May 2011 in downtown Portland.
The river is the Willamette. In the photo with the Steel Bridge in the background, the specks on the lower level of the bridge and on the far side of the river are the fellow “dashers”
Here are some new pix of Miss Jazelle and Shalimar (aka Microdog) taken in May, 2011. That’s Miss Jazelle graduating from Intermediate Obediance, with Ashley Howard trying to pose her.
Welcome to Miss Jazelle….
(The “big” dog is Miss Jazelle at 10 months old. The small dog is Shalimar at 12 years old)

After our current groomer hung up her shears, the quest is on for a new dog groomer, and one who can fit in with my work schedule.
Today we tried out Janice at Groomingdales in Tualatin.
The results:
Shalimar
Ruffles
The girls look pretty good!
