I want to express a huge "thank-you" to Mary and Ken who installed and gave me a hose for the shower to wash my boy, I really appreciated it ! What a bundle of energy Mary is , Sonya and Lisette are very lucky to have this woman for a mentor. It was so nice to see her girl Delila (spelling?) win her 3rd also...Big Congrats !!

As some of you know, I missed my ring time on Saturday...not sure what happened exactly,poor time management I guess. I was so very embarrassed,and you all were so suppportive and nice about it, thanks so much :) I made it for Sunday though,and what a thrill to be at a show with such a large number of nice dogs. This was my 10th dogshow ever to attend and boy what an eye opener , I was a little intimidated I have to admit to be in the ring with some of the greatest handlers and breeders in the US.

Sebastien was good considering my nerves, he was a bit distracted by the patterned carpet and kept pulling his head down to sniff the floor. I was first to enter the ring in my class also which was a bit unnerving :eek:

I met some great friends that I had only known on line through yorkie talk and facebook. Kristena Bravo was a huge help to me, she was in the room below Denis and I and was at my becon call LOL She's really something and what a nice boy her Havoc is.

Connie, you are a sweet heart ! and so is your hubby,doing all the videoing. Can't wait to see the clips and photos that you took ! Wish we had more time with you too :(

I met Donna too ! What a sweety, love your accent girl ! We might just make it to Texas next year for the Specialty, that would be cool !

The kids travelled well, it was their first time in the air and our flight was 5 hours.We were so proud of them. Yes, Connie....Beatrice is just a little Diva isn't she ? She really enjoyed getting over to watch BOB on Sunday afternoon for a while.

Mary, the new leash that I got with the braided neck peice works great.I took him out earlier today for a walk. He wasn't to happy about it,but it worked.

I ordered the DVD's for the Specialty, can't wait to get them and relive the weekend

Carl,

What a pleasure to meet you and hope we'll be seeing each other at more dog shows. Dog shows are such a great place to make life long friends. Let's keep in touch.

By the way your Beatrice and Sabestian are lovely.

Glad the lead is working for you. I know I stuggled with one of my Champion girls. Karen was a gem and worked with me to customize the neck piece. We finally went to the braided satin and that is all I've used since. I love the fact she will customize to each dog and handler.

Carl,

I sat next to Connie, met Denis (he is quite funny), didn't have an opportunity to meet you. Hoped to meet you in the second half of the show but you took off and didn't return.

You looked good out there! Wish you the best in the future! You have a beautiful dog.

K.

Oh boy Mary you better be coming to New York, cause July in Texas??? Nope hubby won't do that. We are considering a trip to Ireland in the summertime, then the Nationals in Missouri in Sept, so as much as I'd love to visit Texas, I don't think it will be in the works.

Yep! She handled Beaux to his Championship, that guy finished so fast it made your head spin. On his first weekend out he took a Group II from the classes.
