Not a good weekend!! Brody got 2nd place. I know, can't always be a winner. In years past, this show was a 2 day show and was held at a Civic Center in downtown Decatur. Now, in 2 small buildings at a fairgrounds! Anyway, as soon as we got to the show site, I took him out of his crate and he acted like he wanted off the grooming table - so, OK - I put him down, and thank goodness the door for outside was right next to where we set up our stuff. Yes, diarrhea! Blah! Well, hubby got some paper towels for me and luckily I had some baby wipes and got the mess cleaned off his coat. Can you imagine if he had done it in the crate on the way to the show??
Then, I could not get him to hold his head still while fixing his topknot - everytime someone came through the door he jerked his head. Finally got it looking ok - and decided to take him outside to walk him a little to see if he would walk. Yep - diarrhea again. Yet another clean up. Poor little guy. I'm not sure what caused this. He's never had this happen before. Hope it doesn't happen again! So, I don't like his topknot, and tried another one, - didn't like it either, so now I am sweating (we are in a metal building at a fairground and its really HOT) finally got it the best I was gonna get it so we waited for ring time.
Now I find out there was a judge change - ok - I'm not familiar with alot of the judges since I haven't shown in 12 years. This Judge is a guy, and Brody did not like him. He was very heavy handed while Brody was on the table and Brody backed up a little but not real bad. But at least Brody walked for me and I didn't have to drag him - lol!
Hope he does better Mother's Day weekend! And most importantly I hope the diarrhea doesn't happen again!!!! What a mess - - - - - -
