I have never had a dog show nightmare but I had a real nightmare several months ago. When I am showing out of town, I like to find a mall and shop. I was at the Knoxville, TN show and had bought the cutest little Ralph Lauren denim dress the night before. I walked into the class got down to stack my dog and the buttons, from the bottom to my waist, popped open. I frantically started try to button them when the judge told us to take the dogs around. I had Deuce's lead in one hand and held the dress together with my other hand. When I stopped, I started buttoning again. I was second in line and I had to put Deuce on the table before I could finish ( she was a very fast judge). I told the judge what had happened and ask if I could take minute to button up. She totally ignored me and started going over the dog.
I took my hands off of my dog to button my dress. At that point, I could care less if he was stacked or not. It was a big class. We didn't win but at least we got a placement. |
