Tri-Star Kennel Club Dog Show Oct 16 - 17

Ok, we're back from the Tri-Star Kennel Club dog show in Nashville. Laura and I went up to Nashville "Early 5:00 a.m." Saturday morning. We had entered Cruiser and Mimi in the dog show and also carried Brook just for the ride. Brook hasn't got the hang of traveling well in the car yet, so we just took her along for a practice trip. We've also been holding Brook out until she grows some ear fringes. She's kind of stuck in that in between stage of "more than a puppy" but not quite "fully grown".

Anyway, on Saturday, both Cruiser and Mimi won their bred-by classes, then both went back in for winners. Cruiser won Winners Dog and Best of Winners. Mimi won Winners Bitch and Best Opposite. Both Cruiser and Mimi earned points toward their championship. Way to go Lawood Paps !!!

We didn't show Cruiser on Sunday since Sunday was not a major and he only needs one major to finish his championship. He currently has 13 points.


Mimi now has 6 points toward her championship. She seems to be earning them one at a time, but we'll take them any way we can get them.

We had a very enjoyable stay with friends this weekend and also enjoyed the company of our dog show friends. We also got to eat at our favorite Cajun restaurant. You know it's real Cajun when one of the "specials" is Alligator Bites and Alligator Boudin. Yummmmm...!!

Also one of our very good friends, Pat, put a first point on one of her female puppies and also got "Best of Winners" and "Best Opposite " on Sunday. We were all proud for her.


The weather was nice and it turned out to be a very nice weekend away from home.
