Happy 8 months Chance & our first show since Nationals...

It's hard for me to believe that Chunky puppy is now 8 months old... growing up so fast and just the dearest of dogs....
For his 8 month old birthday we went to a dog show and roasted our tails off.... With a forecasted high of 94, we sure felt it in the mid day, unshaded area.....

Chance was 2nd in his class (losing to Sunspark's Heart Break Kid) There was a Kennebec dog (a red one) entered in 9-12 as well. Mikey (above) is just 6 months and a few days and i was worried about CHANCE being the biggest 6-9 puppy... HA. While Chancey weighs more, Mikey is bigger!
Mikey went WD (there were only the three of us entered in dogs) and Chancey went RWD :)

He loves his mama so... too much sometimes ;-)

Finishing up the go around (I like this picture a lot actually)
Then with the girls... Sedona (oddly enough) was the only 12-18 bitch entered (Karen Harbert moved Dona Ana (at bottom of page) into Bred by and Kathy Davis moved to Oklahoma). When we went back in for winners, the Open bitch won, and another open bitch (Duane Forbes' bitch Diva bred by Jennifer Roberson) went reserve...

Winners bitch line up... Shannon Wilson up front with Crush (Patimac's First Crush), Karen Harbert with Dona Ana (Aelwyd's Dona Ana), Sedona and I, a new lady whose name I forget and a littermate to the blue bitch Jennifer showed at Nationals (this is Lottie), and Renay Crooker with Dazzle (Mantle SunSpark's Razzle Dazzle) who she got at Nationals.

Going back tomorrow for more.... we show at 9:45am at least, so it won't be scalding hot! It's an hour and a half away, so waking up early doesn't sound fun, but is a necessity... Keep all fingers toes and puppy paws crossed for SOMETHING good for tomorrow :)
