Kix saves the weekend


We struck out to Nashville right after work Friday afternoon.   We had very early show times both Saturday and Sunday.   We had to show first thing at 8:30 on both days.  It's murder to get up that early and get yourself ready, much less getting show dogs fixed up also.   Anyway, we had a good time none the less staying with some of our very nice dog show friends that also show Papillons.   We had a very nice weekend just hanging out and showing our dogs.   This weeks show was in Owensboro Kentucky which still left us with over an hour and a half drive from Nashville.   We had to get up at 4:00 in the morning to get to the show at 8:30 and still have some time to settle in and get ready to show.    I don't know if it was the early show times or the lack of rest, but our dogs acted like they had never been in a show ring.   They were all a handfull !!!   Kix however, did manage to stand still just long enough to win Winners Dog on Saturday for two points toward his Championship.   Way to go Kix !!!  He has seven points now.   The girls didn't show well enough to get anything.   Those girls better get on the ball or "little brother" is gonna make a come from behind finish on them.

Thanks to our good friends Mary and Jerry for the place to stay and the good fellowship !!!
