MimiWhew.... Four day dog shows are murder. To make matters worse we had to show at 8:00 or so in the morning all four days !!!! Everyone was tired after four days of this including the dogs. Anyway we had an excellent time showing dogs and visiting with our dog show friends.
Our female Mimi won Reserve Winners Bitch to a major on one of the days and first place in her class two days but that's about all of the bragging we can do.
Showing dogs is a lot like fishing. If you only have a good time when you catch fish, you'll be a sad fisherman most of the time. You have to learn to have a good time on the lake even if you don't catch any fish. Well showing dogs is about the same thing. The dogs didn't have much success this weekend, but we all had fun staying with friends, visiting, eating good food and seeing people we haven't seen in a while. That's what it's all about anyway. Our friend Mary finished her dog "Tango" (congrats). If we have to lose it's better to lose to friends that you can be proud for instead of strangers.
