This Sunday afternoon, once again, Tinsel was first, My SweetPea second. I whispered to My SweetPea right after the judge presented the ribbons "Hey girl, your butt has been kicked three times in a row!"
I have learned so much these past three days. And I feel that I have improved from the very first show to this afternoon. And what a great advantage I had today to have My SweetPea's grooming table right beside, and very close to Tinsel's. And when Trish started to part Tinsel's hair, I did the same for My SweetPea. When she brushed Tinsel's paws, I followed after her. Then she brushed the back of the head of Tinsel so that all her hair fell so nice and neat, I did the same for My SweetPea... LOL! If someone was observing me, they'd definitely see that I was deliberately copying everything that Trish was doing,
, because I was! When it came to the topknot, Trish noticed that I was struggling like crazy, and she offered to help me. But I recalled what our other fellow yorkie owner told me yesterday over dinner, not to ask too many questions or bother others while they are preparing for a show (which Trish was doing at the time), so I said, "THank you, but I would like to do this myself", and about 15 minutes to ring time, another yorkie owner friend said... "you've practiced enough for today, now let me do the topknot"..
I am lucky to have people generous with their time in/and sharing their knowledge.
I really enjoyed the weekend. Learned tons, and tons of things. Just the lingo alone is tremendous! I will go to AKC website tonight, as Trish suggested, to get educated on points.
Sum Toi All That Glitters is BEAUTIFUL, very well mannered, and will finish as quick as Ting Ting for sure! Trish is excellent and a pro in the ring!
