And in the Sheltie ring as the rain kept pouring down... this was to be the Cardigan ring....
As we waited, Piper managed to charm a new friend into giving her loves... that charming little Piper and her magical ways...
This is the ring the Goldens were in... We were hunkered down under the cover ring side... it started POURING... well, you can see....
just inside the ring... this was BOB...
to the left of our ring, as the rain kept coming down...
And the hail...
Someone trying to keep covered... the ring you see here is OURS...
BOB going around in the pouring rain... Hershey up front, Slick in the middle, and Ribbon pulling up the rear... WB and WD stayed behind.
The show chairman was called to the hospitality area... so she had to leave.... ;-)
Barb enjoying herself ringside - soaked to the bone....
Shannon coming out of BOB with Love (who went WB) and her swag :) (twas good swag!)
Judge Bill Shelton talking to Sherilyn Curti after judging...
When all was said and done, Piper was 3rd in her class today, and Sedona was 3rd in her class.I handled a friends 6-9 puppy bitch to WB, so that was fun :)
**Jennifer Roberson was sent this picture Monday morning, showing the grounds.... needless to say, the shows were cancelled Monday... Wow, huh?
Piper said she was tired. All that working in the rain was exhausting....
We had a raffle today too - and I got some good stuff. :) The big platter was the "big get", so I was pleased to get it. The toy was for placing in sweeps. The nightlight was another raffle score, as was the smaller plate. The candle holder was the prize for WB, which Karen and Shannon gave to me for taking Love in and getting Winners Bitch on her. :) It was very nice of them.
Here's an up closer version of the plate... like the one I have with Sedona on it, but this is another little puppy - cute, eh? :)
An up closer view of the candle holder... I think I will LOVE this! Thanks SO MUCH to Karen and Shannon for letting me escape with this prize of theirs!! :) (They also won a wall sconce that was made of the same material!!)
and the toy and night light! :)
I got "volunteered" to do the goodie bags. My friend Joanie was supposed to have helped, but she became, uh, geographically challenged when she moved to the Denver area... the brat. :) It turned out alright tho...We ended up with a canned food cover (donated by Karen Wilson), fruit snacks, cereal bars, a mirror (donated by Brenda Rojas), small calendars (donated by Karen Wilson), dog cookies, a book mark (again, Karen Wilson), and a tug toy - in addition to the bags (donated by Sherilyn Curti) :)
Now that I know what I"m doing, I think I can do it again... :) I might even volunteer to do it next time ;-)
One more day of dog shows for Sedona... then she comes home for a little over a week before she heads out to Del Mar again... Can't wait for my Pillow Hog to come home! It's been great to see her in the ring :)
