We have the "after the show blues"
 
Anyone else ever experience this?
Mickey showed for the first time Fri Sat and Sun. He did great and I'm so proud of him. Any mistakes were all mine and I still have a lot to learn. We had so much fun, yes I was nervous too but still managed to have a good time and not make a total fool of myself! :p Now we are home with no more shows scheduled :( and I guess I need to give him a bath and put him back in oil but he looks so pretty right now, I just hate to! I think we have the after the show blues! :(

Oh, I guess I should add that we came home with 3 blue ribbons but no points.

Well good on you for those blues! There is a let down after shows. So much work and preparation. What I've done and seen done by many show exhibitors here, is after showing, we oil and wrap on site, then go home.

I usually wash my boy on Wed after shows.

So you had fun which is great. Have you got the show bug yet?:p

Congrats Theresa,
I know what you mean I have been away from the ring since the middle of May . I had some serious withdrawals there. But Knowing I am about to start it all again in a few weeks all the way til March so far. I am anxious to get back in the ring again. It is so much fun.

Ladyhawk 08-15-2010 01:23 PM
I was so excited about finishing Ace at 19 months at the same show that he had gotten his first point exactly a year earler. It was exactly what I wanted, what we had worked so hard for. I got home and it took everything in me not to break down and cry. I still haven't cut Ace down and missed showing him so much last time I took Avery into the ring. There are definitely highs and lows when you're showing. You'll be back in the ring before you know it and next time you may take home the win. Think marathan, wrap your boy up and just enjoy the pet side of it until you get back on the saddle.

Brooklynn 08-15-2010 01:49 PM
I know what ya mean!! When it's Sunday and time to go home I'm ready but after a day or two I'm ready for another show weekend! I'm having withdrawals now! I haven't had a show in a month now and I'm going stir crazy!! I always wrap Radar before I leave but I don't put him in oil until I bathe him the next day on Monday.
You'll have fun the next time you go out! Glad you had fun and Congrats on the blue ribbons!!!

Donna

Glad to hear I'm not the only one! My boy is a little too young to wrap yet. He's not quite 10 months old but I thought I'd mention that one lady there, who by the way, has beautiful dogs and I guess she's a hair dresser too, anyways, once she was done showing, she started french braiding her dogs hair. She did each leg and I believe each side. Her pup had a beautiful coat so I guess she's doing something right! Has anyone ever heard of that instead of wrapping?

I tried french braiding once on Connor. My husband let him out into the yard while I was at work. I came home to a matted mess that took several hours to comb through. We lost quite a bit of coat, I cried, and I never tried that again. I braid Ace's tail but I wouldn't try braiding a coat that is the least bit soft.
Ace is dry wrapped, it's what works best for him. It takes a bit of experimenting but you'll find what is best for your boys coat.

Theresa I am glad you enjoyed your first show. wish I could have been across the border to go.. good for you on the ribbon's and I am sure you will keep learning on learning till the next show comes up for you...
Did you take picture's or were you just too nervous for that.. if you did would love to see some..

Congratulations on your blue ribbons - it's as great start!!! Sounds like you have the "show" bug - I'm happy for you. I hope you enjoy it for a long time! :thumbup:

musiccitymom 08-16-2010 08:01 AM
I just "practiced" last weekend and I know what you mean lol

YorkieRose 08-16-2010 08:26 AM
A friend of mine finished her male in upstate NY last weekend..might have been the same shows...so she needs a new puppy to take out...but I guess that is the point of it all...LOL

jacquelinebabco 08-16-2010 08:44 AM
Congratulations! If I had seen this post I would not have emailed you. I am so happy for you. Glad I got my pup before you started selling "champions" or I would not be able to afford them. (lol).
I praise you everyday for my healthy, happy, well adjusted little boy, Wyatt. Your the best.

I think that Dawn finished Tristan in NY this weekend and I know that Yvette finished Jerico in FL. It was a good weekend for Va. exhibitors.
It's fun to start new pups but you miss showing the one that you finished.

Amazing Yorkies 08-16-2010 10:06 AM
Congratulations on the ribbons! The trick to Show "let down", is to schedule another :p
I like banding (french braiding) myself, less apt to have other dogs chew on the wraps.

It wasn't Rose Jenks from Foxfire?
Or Laurie Hunter - not sure of her kennel name, she has a lot of Nicnak's dogs? I think they may have both finished dogs this weekend....

Dawn was showing a Nicnak dog, he took WD on Friday. The Foxfire dog took breed.

Brooklynn 08-16-2010 04:59 PM

Thanks Lynne! It's really easy to resize. Pm me if you want me to tell you how to do it or you can email a photo and I'll resize it for you! She looks very pretty from what I can see!

Theresa, congratulations on your first weekend out. Your boy is beautiful. I love his face and his coloring. Back in the good old days when I was showing I always looked forward to the next show. I still mark my calendar with all the dates of the upcoming shows in our area. When is the next show in your area?

I'll try to get some pics of banding, my puter and camera seem to be mad at each other.. not compatable since my puter crashed in May.

Congrats again Theresa on the ribbons for your beautiful boy!

Thanks Barb! I have to really sit down and take a look. The next one in my immediate area is not until January but there are others around I just need my hubby to look and see how many are feasible. A couple of the girls I met this weekend are talking about some shows too and it would be nice to travel with them but right now I have to be careful - until hubby is back to work I really can't afford to be staying in motels.
