Oh no! Your story reminded me of watching one of the big shows on television last year. The judge was really getting into the topknots with his fingers, making a bit of a mess of the heads in general, and I wondered what the handlers thought of that. Seemed like all of the Yorkies did some extra shaking of their hair after getting down off of the table, away from the judge.
