OMG awesome!!! That must have thrilled you to no end! I go with my boy for his first real show this weekend. I have been helping my mentor but this time it is for me and him. Of course I will be helping her also and her friend Vickie, between us 3 there are 5 dogs showing so all the hands are needed for sure.
I hear you about missing Nano!! I have been going to shows almost every weekend and I miss her so much I can hardly stand it. I actually feel very guilty not taking her but with showing you know how it is...bathing the am of, brushing, more brushing, going to the arena, more brushing, topknot, show, undo all you did, get back to the hotel, potty the dogs, feeding, get a bite to eat, then crash!! Poor Emma and your Nano would get lost in the shuffle.
Emma is 17 months old now and just topped the scales at 1 pound 11 ounces, lol.I still home cook for her and each time I make a batch I have to mix up what proteins she will be getting. Last time was chicken breast and low fat cheddar cheese, this time was dark meat chicken and cottage cheese, sometimes I buy lamb and cook that but that is rare as I hate the thought of the baby sheep.... She likes it switched and I find doing that I do not have to force feed her that way

brat.
Send some updated pics of Nano when you have a chance...
