Lost : one important photograph..... Part Two

So (insert photographers name here) called me just a minute ago.  He said he did a baseline search (explaining to me what he meant - looked at each frame he took that day) and there was no photograph taken at the dog show.  I assure him that Curtiss said there ABSOLUTELY was a photograph taken.  He said "I am not going to argue with either you or Curtiss.  I will be at the Tucson shows in a couple of weeks, and I can bring the sign.  I'd be happy to take the photograph again". 
Thankfully the judge was Gloria Kerr, who happens to LIVE in Tucson!  She will be there in one capacity or another (she has stewarded the last few times) and I'm sure would be willing to take a photograph, given the circumstance. 
Curtiss' reply?  "I'm not surprised.  He's a (insert expletive here)."

Guess who is getting a bath to look all pretty and have to act like a show dog ONE LAST TIME?? 

Lost : one important photograph.....

The photograph taken when a dog finishes is pretty special to me.  I'm pretty sure most people who will read this will feel the same.  The photo was taken on 10/16.  Another person who won that weekend has THEIR photograph.  I am not happy about this.  I wrote an email yesterday asking for a status update and received no reply.  Today I called and spoke with the photographer, who says "I don't see that in my notes" "I'll have to look through all of the image files". 

WHAT!?!?  Yes.  You can imagine my face.

So I called Curtiss and asked, "It WAS (insert photographer) who took the picture of Sedona in Los Lunas, right?" 
"Yes, he was the only one there."
"Ok.  Because he's saying he can't find the file"
"He's a (insert expletive here)."

Great.  So help me, if this guy doesn't find my photograph, I will have the biggest cow ever known to human kind.  :(

Stay tuned.  He's supposed to call me tomorrow morning.
