Greater Shelby Kennel Club dog show

July 17-18 we traveled to Southaven MS for the two day show held by the Greater Shelby Kennel club. This time we were inside in the cool air (thank goodness) because it was another hot weekend. We stayed at one of our favorite camp grounds ( it has a pool and a hot tub, super nice facilities and an RV dealership next door) !!! We walked over to the RV place Saturday afternoon to drool over the class c motor homes. Maybe one day when our ship comes in we can upgrade the Papillon motel to a rolling "Papillon Palace". Yeah right.

All the dogs showed well and we were quite pleased. Saturday, Cruiser won winners dog and gained two more points toward his championship. We're still chasing his second major however. Cruiser has now broken into the double digits finally with a total of 11 points. We just waited till we got home to take his picture with his ribbons.

Our Kids at play

Well, we started our long weekend as soon as we got off work and got home Friday. We first had to make a trip to Camden to run an errand. Then we got up early Saturday morning to meet a friend of mine that I work with. He got one of our recent rescue dogs ( not a Papillon, just a plain ole puppy dog ) to take home with him and be the new family pet. She's on a week trial period, but I think she'll be fine. Good for Holly. Then we traveled on after taking care of that to Alabama to pick up Cruiser. Cruise's been with a handler attending shows in Florida trying to get his elusive second major toward his title. I'm glad my dog is finally back home safe and sound (no more empy lap syndrome in the mornings). We spent the rest of the weekend just haning out, attending church (we've been lazy lately), making homemade ice cream, working in the gardens, and just enjoying the weekend.

Since we don't have any dog shows this weekend or next weekend, and since it was another hot weekend, the pool was open for business.
