Saline County AR Dog Show

Ok, we had packed up a few things all week so we could leave as early as possible Friday after work.    We would be driving over to Benton Arkansas to attend the Saline County dog show there.    It was over a four hour drive but it went by quickly and we arrived at our hotel around 10:00.   Not too bad for us.

This show was very small (not majors) so Mimi got to stay home again.   She only needs a major to finish.   Brooklyn however only needs a single point to finish, so we were very pumped up, knowing not to get our hopes up too high.  We know very well about counting chickens before they're hatched.   (Very Well...  )

Well Kix didn't do well this weekend at all.    He got second place in his 12 - 18 mos. class both Saturday and Sunday.

Brooklyn got Reserve Winners Bitch on Saturday (no points -- so close --- dang).   You could hear the wind comming out of our sails.    It kinda killed our hopes for Sunday's show.    Anyway, Brook showed "fairly" well on Sunday, managed to win her Open Class, and after a few tense moments in the Winners ring,  the judge gave her the nod for Winners Bitch !!!

Our mischievous little "Brook" is now Champion  Marric's Brooklyn Magic !!!!

We have been showing 3 or 4 dogs lately and I have been soooo busy slinging leads and brushing ear fringes, that I haven't been able to take my camera to the shows.   Maybe things will slow down a little bit and I'll be able to take some pictures soon.

Ok...  now ... for all of you that had fingers crossed for Brooklyn,  THANK YOU VERY MUCH but your job is  not over.   We still have to root for Mimi in two weeks at Priceville Alabama.    It's four days of majors and we only need just one of them.
