Mommy's little angel...

The Story of Manny by Bubba
Manny came to live with us in an unusual way. Mommy had met his breeder through an email list called Yorkiespice when I was just 5 months old. Ms. Cathi and mommy became friends and mommy had expressed an interest in showing dogs. Ms. Cathi asked mommy one day if she would be interested in showing one her puppies in a puppy match and of course,mommy said YES!! So one day mommy went to see grandma & grandpap & decided she would visit Ms. Cathi in Mobile so she could learn how to show the puppy. Well, Ms. Cathi said that she could take Manny, who at that time was nameless, home with her to practice for the show....And that's how Manny came to live with us on February 12, 2000.......and the rest is history!!!

Manny & I are becoming good friends although when I get into something I'm not suppose to , he tells on me by barking and barking, and barking....that signals Mom & Dad that I have something I'm not suppose to have....boy does that make me really mad with him....but he is part of the family so I guess I'll have to tolerate it...

Because Manny is a show dog , he has to stay in the xpen on the patio to potty & play...guess who else gets stuck in there with him!!! I don't mind too much because Dad still takes me out on the leash to do my business...

Hi! I'm Cabat's Gentleman at Heart bka Manny. I live with my brother, Bubba, my mom & dad and three cats. Mommy is my close companion and handler. Both Bubba and I are still trying to decide whose the Alpha and neither of us is willing to relinquish to being NO.2. I'm going to finish telling my story from here.....I was born on October 15, 1999 in Mobile, Alabama to Ch. Tapyoca's Karaoke Party and Doc's I.V. of Love.

For some reason Mom likes to take pictures of Bubba & I in different settings. As you can tell, I'm asleep in my kennel.

AND MY SHOW CAREER BEGINS...

I began my show career in Tupelo, MS in a fun match. I placed second in my class. My close friend and companion, Hunter, beat me. Grandpa Carl was our judge and he was really nice to me. Mommy says she will post my ribbons later.

My second fun match in Baton Rouge, LA. I placed first in my class and won Best of Breed.
My other human grandma, Cathi, took pictures of me in group . She's so proud of me!! So is my grandma, Maria and my Grandma, Clydine.

I'm in group here and Mommy is trying to get me to stack. Of course, she has a "cookie" for me.

Hunter and I grew up together..He's my sorta brother because he was born two days before me to Danielle and Dusty. Grandma Cathi shows him....we have alot of fun together...most of the time!

These are my ribbons from Baton Rouge.I won 1st place in my class and Best of Breed over my littermate, Gabby. However, at a match in Long Beach, MS...Gabby beat me!!!

Mommy & I pose after the show in Perry, Ga. Daddy took some pictures so everyone could see the ribbons I've won.
On Thursday & Saturday, I took 1st in my class under Herendeen & Nickels but on Sunday, I took 2nd under Beattie. Guess you can't win them all?
