“You can’t play with dogs your whole life!”
And I’d say, “Yes I can.”
- David Fitzpatrick recounts talking to his father.

A pleasure and a privilege to attend the Pequest Pekingese Homecoming this year, and to work alongside the most special people to bring this to life!

Father and son— Wasabi and Woodstock!

The man himself— grateful to learn more from the example you set as a Breeder/Owner/Handler.

Gang’s all here!

Broke my no-crafting rule for this!

Woodstock and Kowloon with their Auntie Danielle and darling Sakki!

Peke party! Peke party!

If you made it this far, Kowloon ended up in the Top 10 Owner-Handled Pekingese for this stats year, despite being shown fairly selectively after I went through a career transition. Grateful for the recognition, and what’s to come!

Flashback to the day my life changed forever. On April 16 2023 I emailed with @pekedave about a white Pekingese. I was on a flight 3 days later. Funny enough, my first plane ride since COVID. We traveled to Pennsylvania and when I met this ball of fluff, I didn’t see or hear anything else. In the days that followed, We tried to figure out names as we traveled through Pennsylvania, to New Jersey and NYC. Dandelion? Muffinface schmoopie pie? Finally I called him Jellybeans because he was so colorful, clearly in personality. I have had many dogs, and I still have many dogs, but never has a dog consumed my life, had so much personality, and been so dedicated to his role as my Jellybeans. He also came along with a whole group of family with the @pequest crew. It isn’t his birthday, just a tribute to this fabulous guy. Also because he is sitting here making sure I am typing only the best things about him. If you have met him, you know this is true.

Today is Buddha Boi’s gotcha day, one year ago! Our lives are so enriched by Buddha and everyone we have met in the dog (and Peke!) communities! Special thanks to @gracemihelee — for your friendship, and all of your advice—- we wouldn’t have Buddah without you!; @pekedave, for trusting us with Buddha, your kindness, and your friendship!; and @jessie_jerelyn @poodle_chris.rachel for raising such an incredible dog in the ring and beyond!
