Vacationland Dog Show

Okay so I'm about a week late (again) posting about a show. Whoops!

Isabella and I headed to the show early Sat morning just in time to see our good friend Marisa around the ring with pretty Fiona.



Saturday was great. I saw our friend Pam's dog, Paris (also Hero's BFF), take two more points to bring her to 6. She looked fantastic handled by Linda. Our friend Stephanie also took more CH points on her Indi. Bowie took Best of Breed (no surprise there) and my Isabella was Best of Opposite. Isabella was also awarded her first Grand Championship points! GCH points are not automatically awarded, they are at the discretion of the judge so we were quite happy about that.

My friend Julie did a great job with her Bullet, who incidentally went on to win his first field points the very next day! It was Julie's birthday so we surprised her with a cake and a card.

Sunday I brought Oliver with me for a lesson in furry-boy grooming. He had a blast and was a total kid-magnet! I wish I'd had him entered but oh well! None of the dogs close to my heart did anything, sans Isabella taking another BOS and more GCH points, and Bowie was awarded GCH points as well going Select Dog.

I'm currently in waiting mode with Hero. She's getting a lot testier, she's blown 90% of her rear feathering and she's entering the time frame for her to come into heat. Poor girl is grumpy, but it just means its that much closer to having JJ come up for his little "vacation". I hope to hear the pidder-padder of little paws here in a few months!
