Bitches

The bitches are in there, and it is so cold that I can't type.  

The bitches are in, Deb is judging, she excused some, kept some, and that is all I know. Tomorrow the low is going to be in the 20s, so, I am glad we are getting out of here.

I am sorry I didn't let you know what is going on, but I am too cold to type, too tired to care, too old to help and too orinary to give a damn.
It has been a fun national. We got on our puppies a Best of Dump, (but he has at 15 month a 5, 4, and 3 point major, so he will do fine. And his sister went second in the 15 - 18 month puppy, so that too was fun.

Deb is on her last class and I like the Veteran.  I see Levy had three Selects and he already had two.  I suspect he will be the top stud dog this year, and if not, then next year.

It is so quiet. They should do the bitches first because it is the Grand Victor that everyone wants to see. But the catalog had dogs first and Deb felt she had to judge that way. Next year, maybe the board will put bitches first.  And tonight someone will know who will be judging in Reno. Maybe we should start taking odds.

I would like to thank Debbie and Sheryll for giving me a heater to use, Tony for providing me with a blanket and Ill. for causing me to need them.

Sharon Avery came by and wanted to unload some dinner tickets.  I hear it is a full house, but I am not going to go. I want to go back to our motel and set the room on fire and sit in the middle of it. So, if you hear a motel burned down, you can blame me.

Now there are 28. I doubt they will all  go Select, but who knows what Deb will do.  Groups of seven.

It is interesting that Deb takes them down and back and arranges them at that time.  I think that is but one factor, but it appears that is how she cuts the classes.

In comes the second group. Seven more.  It is now dark cold and gloomy and the dog show goes on.  It has now been nine hours.  

Four down and three in the keepers, the chosen people, I mean dogs, I mean bitches.  Whatever, they are chosen, so far.  

New blood.  Next group of seven.  Deb is wasting no time. It is just a big entry. Maybe our breed entries will be coming back.  She moves up two bitches. I doubt you care who it is, or you would have gotten the streaming video.

I can type, I can watch, or I can shiver.  I chose to shiver.  Not really my choice.

Now, the unkindest cut of them all, four go to the outskirts of the arena.

Now the cold is not the problem, it is raining.  Now the last group, who were out of order, but in there anyway,

Now the keepers, 14.  Now seven and seven, and the first group goes. Off to the side, and the second group. I was told earlier Mercedes was going to go Grand Victrix.  One in fourteen chance  WOW, she just went to the front. Take my word for it; I didn't know.  And she takes the last seven.  Six off to the side while Deb talks to Tom.  Eight standing who look like Selects.  Now Deb comes back and walks to the front, looks them all over walking down the group. A good looking bunch of bitches.  

She brings the rest out.  What a nice job of judging.  The Winner's Bitch is in there and the rest go Select ALL OF THEM.

1. Grand Victrix  GCH CHG CH Kaleef's Mercedes 

2.  GR GCHB Franken's Some Like It Hot Of Tara

3.  CH Windsong's What The Hail

4.   AOE DAE AM CAN Select EX CRCH Windfalls National 

5.   CH Gomez La Bartola Von Loar Of Karizma

6.  DAE BOF GCHB CH Frankenhaus Heart Of Fire v Foothills

It's too cold to finish, so you will have to find it elsewhere  Sorry about that, but not that much

Tedi helped me do this and it is how they are in the catalog,

Here come the clowns

It is an hour before show time. And Al came by and had me talk on the phone to Caesar, and more people are here and starting to find a place. Candy came by and working hard. What a great job she is doing for putting on the show. It is starting to look like a dog show might break out at any minute.  

I just figured out how to make the type bigger, so now I can see what I am typing. That might not be a good thing.  I see a lot of activity from the next door venue, where the stalls are. I guess people are getting ready.  

I spent some time talking to Tony Monk.  Lamar Fredricks and I spent some time talking about the Judge's test. I am taking the third version and he failed the third time.

The bitches are in the ring and the ring isn't big enough to check them all in. They fill it. It is so cold I am shivering and I may have to stop typing.  I don't remember ever seeing this large an entry before. Tom is counting and it is good he is here to keep order.

The bitches leave and now the males. Zoe is sitting with me and someone turned in a lost camisole,  I am interested to see who comes for it.  The males fill the ring. It is going to be a long cold day. the camisole owner came by and she was as pretty as I expected.  I am a man after all.  

She kept four and excused three.  New group.   Six in there. Sheri (Moses)* brought me warmers.  Zoe gave gloves.  It is good to have friends.  But with gloves I type with one finger.    Three more and four gone for this year. A new group of seven.  She is doing a  great job and taking no time to do it.  One pass and she decides.  Then she looks again before she excuses them. On the last group she saved one.  

It started with 50 and she is keeping two or three from each group and next will have 25 or so.  What a great job of judging.  From on my high post, she is doing just what I would do.  That might not be  a good thing.  One from this group, Sophia. Just what I thought.  She fell and got up, with Comeback Kid, and now the judge excuses six.                                                  

Deb keeps three and excuses four. New group. She moved up three, looked again kept one more and excused three.  In with a new group.  Next to the last  group.  Two hours so far. She pulls four and off they go.  Keeps five.  Two leave with  dreams of Reno.

Now the last group, eight with winner's dog veteran, etc.  Gunner looks great.  She pulls out three and has five more to consider and off they go. One last chance.   Deb gives every one a good look, takes three and asks the other five to take a lap, and now for the keepers, or the chosen ones, or the selected dogs, or those with dreams of going Grand Victor still in their heads.

In they come. What a spectacular group of dogs.  Twenty three, if anyone cares.  I like 513 and 522.  I won't give you the names until the second cut.  jDeb is talking to them in groups and has the last 10 or so stand back and has 15 stacked.  She gives directions to one and she goes off to the others and now so do all but seven.  So that looks like who she is going to start with. I am off to eat lunch. Talk among yourselves.

There are keepers and not-keepers./ So far four in the "next year" group.And I have another corn dog.  Winnes dog one more two more three leave.  Seven with dreams  about to be dashed.  Pulls one and dismisses the rest.  17 so far left.

Down and back.  So far two go to the side. She is them on the down and back. Her sixed dog went to second.
She has 17 out there and they look great and she breaks out the first seven and of they  go.  Sets them aside and takes the rest of them.  It would be heart breaking to be cut now.  Moves one to the front and off they go.  Moves Sylvan up. takes the next to last to third.  She sends three to the Wonder Group and moves seven. She puts those seven aside and brings out the others,  the first ten Redemption in front. Now Redneck in front.  They get to rest. And she brings back the lowly ones.  Seven in there wondering what she is doing. Now all they want is to go Select.  Deb walks down the line,a nd they all set up and she goes to the front.  She looks at themall again walkiing back and then back to the front. She is looking at her first two, now her next two, then the next, and down the line back to the front now down to the back and they all line up she pulls one and moves him up four places to number 13l  And, that' it. Grand Victor is GCH CH Candia's Redneck Crazy V Surigo RN.

Saturday the Big Cahuna, The Great Day, Champion showdogs, All the marvles

I don't care what you hardy MidWesterners say, four degrees above freezing is cold.  The arena is a bit warmer but all the doors are open and the breeze is a real eye opener.

Some reflections on the show:  It has been fun with a great venue to get to, (two miles from our motel), good footing and the sound system works.   We announcers are separated from the little people, and I prefer to be down were I can talk to my few remaining friends.  That points out one thing I don't like. So many who no longer are with us, and also those who didn't make it to the show. Twyla, Nancy Hubble, Celeste, and so many others who make me laugh. But, we are next to the stairs to go to the food shack, so it seems everyone does come by at some point.

Only the lonely are here an hour before show time.  I see six of us here, including Channing. So far I have seen some fantastic dogs and I know the best is yet to come. But, the parade of first Levi with 29 offspring, then River and Gunner showed that the breed continues to improve.

The judging has been as good as expected. I found that Sam showed great ring control and was decisive and got the best dogs up front. I know Rita always does a great job and did again. I so enjoyed Vickey who had no problem sorting out the classes and should do Specials in three years.

Irv just came in, and I am thinking of going to the car and turning on the heat.  Speaking of heat, (I have no idea what the connection is), the food is fantastic and only maybe 20 freed from the ring. To give an example of the costs, the corn dogs are $2.00, (I have had five).  They have something called funnel fries which look like french frys, but are funnel cakes covered with powdered sugar.  The fried pork cutlet is wonderful, (I have had three, so far). The breakfast raps for $5.00 are as good as you can get.  So different from Florida.

Today is the big day with all the champions. The entry is larger than normal and with the low temperature it should be great for the dogs, and also the handlers. The ring is large and the footing is great.  

I just talked to Tom Mesdag who met with the Judge for today.  He says they will bring in the bitches at 8:30, check them in, then excuse them and bring in the dogs. Deb is going to judge the dogs first and then the bitches.  I prefer they do the bitches first, but it is understandable that Deb wants to follow the catalog. Don't you just hate it when people follow the rules? Tom, Irv and me are the only men here with six woman. That works for me. Tedi is coming later with her sister.

I am off to find some heat and will return at a propitious time.

The end of a long day

They are doing the raffle now, and it is a long time at the end of the show. Nancy Hubbell just won a state.

Novice bitches, First and Reserve winner's Bitch is Tazzman's Mercedes Benz, Second if Signture's Venus in Blue Jeans, Third is Krystal's Mariah, and Fourth is Marquis I WalkThe line.

American Bred Bitches is First Tindrock's Revalation, Second is Aramist Express yuoiurself Marathon Troipp[hill-Ark, Third is Cherpa's Promissory Note, and Forth is Seven Hills Uptown Girl Of Legend.

Open Bitch, First is and Winner's Bitch is Tazzman's Without Limits, Second is Donata's Sandy's Envyme From Stone, Third is Tazzman's Jewel Elite Design, and fourth is Seven Hills Uptown Girl of Legend.

I don't promise to have it right, but I am exhausted, so this is what you get.  

I will be back tomorrow.

Veteran Dogs

I just spent some time talking to Ann Schultz. We solved all of the world problems, but we didn't get into Israel or Ukraine.  We will discuss that tomorrow.

I don't see a lot of interest in the class.   I do like some of those dogs and First is Ch Timberline's Dust Bowl Dance, Second is GCHS CH  Covy-Tucker-Hills Compass-PP (I do think that has always been a super dog, and since this is my unofficial Blog, I can give my opinion), Third was Ch Go9lden Breed's Sup[erstar, and Fourth is GCHP CH Gerans Solitary Man BCAT.

Now in with the older Veterans 9+ Dogs. If those three are my age, in dog years, they didn't want to get up this morning.  They ae 9, 9 and 10.  I could have brought Kirk here at 13.  He died at 14, and what a time we shared.  I will always miss him.

Vickey is looking the tree over and they don't seem like puppies, but all three are not giving up the show quality.  He puts GCH Campaigners Seamar Bearing It All in Vegas in front and YES, First is Campaigners Seamar Bearing It All in Vegas, Second is DAE GCHS Marcato's Fire Lake HT PT TC and third is GCH CH Marcator's Katmandu Katmandu RI FDC CAA BCATDNACGCA CGCU TKA ATT TC.  No, I have no idea what the letters mean, but all three are Grand Champions. That I know.

Butch Loeb came by and it is good to see him. He doesn't seem to age. 

Sylvan and his daughter with Melody his daughter. It is so good to see some of these people we haven't seen in years.  What amazes me is how they don't change.  

I am going to go eat, so I will post the winners of the Amateur Owner Handled Bitch, Bred-By Exhibitor- Puppy butch then Bred-By Exhibiter Adult Bitch. Maybe next year we can have an Amateur, Owner uner 18, female handler long coat bitch class.

Another pork sandwiich. don't tell the Rabbi.

OK the American Bred Bitch class is in there.  

Bred-By Exhibitor Adult Bitch First Pinebuck's Halley's Comet Of Breauhausen, Second Aramist's What I like About Rue V Marathon, Third krystal's Mila V Poncer-HJill-Tantara. and that is the class.

13 in the American Bred class. and so it will  be a while.  I just saw a bitch I like with Kent. I looked her up and it was Cherpa's Promissory Note, Pat and Celeste's bitch. She is going to be hard to beat.  Some nice bitches in there. The Victory dinner is at our motel, but we probably won't go. 

She sends out the first group.  Cate just came by to see me. Either she love me or hates me, she jumps on me whenever she sees me. She is something special.

In comes the next group.  Seven in the first group, six in there now..  Rita tells them :"walk" and off they go.  Keven Renolds is talking to Liz Oster who looks intence watching Kent.  He has Seven Hills Don't You Forget Me and that is who she is working on.

Sharon Avery came by and forced me to by fifty dollars in raffle tickets. she promised me she would put my name on them and put them in a basket. Should I have done that and trusted her?



Dogs, then Bitches

It was so good to talk to Kenen Renolds,a nd he is talking to Tony Monk. Bob, (the voice of the National) has the 12-15 dog to compete with Winners.  Lots of tension right now, and it is clear that no one knows what is going to happen.  The Winner's Class will be the largest class other than puppies 2-4.  It is going to be interesting.

In come the dog winners,  Vicky is standing out there. She looks great and seems to be having a good time.  Knee high boots and a short black dress.  And, in they come.  I have to admit this is an impressive group of dogs.

They come in in order, and I have my winner picked. I wonder how I can let Vicky know what I want her to do.  12 in there and off goes the first six. Tony just said something that I hadn't thought of.  If you have an older entry, the top quality has finished. Now the second group.  And they all stack.  She walks down the line to put her hand on each one.  She pulls out two, then three more and takes the rest around seven, and I don't think they have a future today and Vicky applauds them and moves them over to the side..  Yes, she has them stand back and goes to the five she pulled out. they stack and lots of concern by at least five owners.  I am so fortunate my dog went Best of Dump.  She has not placed these five yet, and takes the first two, and now the last three.  Good looking five dogs.  Then there were three. Lenny Liz and Kent, and dogs.  The crowd has an opinion.

Each goes down and back and one of these three will be WD.

The crowd likes the Open Dog best, but now it is in that order andKent in second is yelling aat the owners and Vicky gives them a good look.  Kent and Liz are still  in the running and now Kent in front. Everyone gets a turn in front.  I see three great dogs, and now Liz in front.  I would probably go with Kent, but I am a long way away. I think those are three superior dogs. She checks temperament and the crowd favorite is Lenny.  they stand, she is talking to them 

Vicky goes tot he table to get the marking, and she has decided, but we don't know. She brings out the ribbbon. what tension and they all stand and get a round of applause. Vicky tells thecrowd what she wants and YES, it is Kent with the American Bred Dog  Marneet Marquis Pipe Bomb v Kenlyn.

Now to Reserve, and it is the Open Dog Trattino's Barefoot Blue Jean Night v Peters' Elite.

On to Open Dogs

I took off to get on line to finish the Judges exam. I could not figure out how to do that so between Tony  and Gloria I may be able to get on line later. In the mean time the five Open dogs are in there.  Lots of cheers for the Open dogs, and some great ones from what I can see.  Onlhy five, but I want to watch then I will Post American Bred and Open after the losers are selected.  That is sort of negative, but let's see who wins. she brings King of The Seven Seas to the front and  that's it. Number one is Gable Hill's V. Woodside, then Second was Krystal's King of The Seven Seas, Third is Ch Raylex's Celeb Chablis, and Fourth is Kenlyn Marwquis' Scorpion King.

Going back to American Bred, First was Marqui's I Am Batman, Second was Elite Design's Vader V Timberlinr. Third is Krystal's Alexander and Fourth was Pinebuck's Draco Of Breaiuhjausen.

All the mistakes are due to Bob (the Voice of the national) and Tony who caused the mistakes.

On to the Long Coat Dog.  Two entered and two in there.  I think they should compete with the rest of the entries, but again, no one asked me.  I do like the black coated dog, and they go around together neither of them are excited about being here. First is SG1 Otto VonDen Baren, and second is Tacora's Rocky Top of Justrock Merivern.

On to Winner's Dog with a break.


















And, the show goes on.

We have the Bred By Exhibitor Adult Dog. Four entered and four in the ring.  I am not sure with the two classes.  Bob (the voice of the National) is talking to Bill Basu in front of me and Mike Metz as well.  Not much going on, and actually some nice dogs in there. the second one is with Mickie so it should be interesting with the third with Liz.  I see Autumn in front of me now and they go down and back, the dogs, not Autumn.  

Liz to the front with I Am Batman, and around they go. First is Marquis' I Am Batman, Second is Elite Design's Vater V Timberline,  Third is Krystal's Alexander and Fourth is Pinebuck's Draco of Breauhausen.

Now on to American Bred. I see no reason to have two Bred By classes.  It was so good to see Kevin Renolds, and he is doing great.  There are four in the American Bred Dogs.  Not what I call an impresive entry. A nice black in front and these are all good dogs.  The quality is there if not the quantity.  

Friday

Tony and I are talking. Vicky did come by to talk, and it makes me feel important.

I got to talk to Linn Ferguson and that always makes my day, (hell, it makes my year).  I love her dog, what a masculine head. Rita is here talking to Greg, her outfit is fantastic.  It is all black with sleeves that are see through and sparkly lines on then. She looks great, as she always does. I miss being able to talk to her,.

Everyone knows I am a hard ass, but when they sing the National Anthem. I get a catch in my chest.

Tony Monk was telling me about his dog. Evidently the breeder didn't want him, so Tony got him. He took him to Boston and took two Five Point Majors and needs one point to finish. I got to see him, he will be with Bill in Open and needs one point to finish. He looks fantastic and should be hard to beat.

The Miami Connection just came by. If we had a contest for the best mustache Joey would win hands down.  

I just had a high point of the National for me. Two important people came by. 

Amateur Owner Handlers are in. Three entered and three here.  Vicky is doing her thing and I can easily pre-pick the winner but no one asked me.  First was Dawnhill's Let Your Light Shine CGVA Second was Jaydee's Who Shi Wusuoweiju AT 3xc RA FDC FCAT THDX CGCA TKI Third was Camareigh Almar'sDark Vacer V Winsome. Don't ask me what those letters mean, I am lucky I know what the V stands for.

On to Bred-By-Exhibitor.

I am taking a break to contact the AKC to find out why I failed the test.

Friday at the fairgrounds

It is early, but Bob and Zac are here and the rest of the world is asleep.

I have to thank Tony for taking over on the computer.  Well, I don't have to he took over when I was out there watching my bitch,  So now Tony is here too and so  I will give you the sad results of the 15-18 bitch class.  No, she looked good, so that was satisfying.

First was Candia's Mimosa Time V Surigo, Second was Asgard's Judicate, then Third was Mojave's Little Miss Honkytonk Bmeer and Fourth New Era's Puck Ya'll V Taja.  I was fine but had we gone first, I would have still have meaningless dreams of Winner's Bitch and Grand Victor. so, now I can relax and enjoy the show.

Alex is here talking to Zac and Bob and Tony are dividing up who gets to announce.  I am indeed "chopped liver" and just get to sit at the announcer's table and look pretty. That works for me.

Also, I didn't see the Novice Bitch class on my computer so First was Tazznan's Mercedes Benz, Second was Signature's Venus in Blue Jeans, Third wasKrystal's Marian, and Fourth is Marquis' I Walk the Line. I would call her Johnny.

Tony and I are talking now. 

I don't know if anyone can or even wants to read this, but I will continue to babble so long as no one complains.  Last night we went to dinner with Gloria and Tedi's sister and brother-in-law. Everyone who means anything was at the same place.  I saw Joan Fox and her crowd at another table. I did some card tricks for Irv and his wife, and so that was fun. I also did a few things at the dinner.  Bill Basu came by and I was glad to see him. He hasn't been at the shows lately as he retired and sold his business and has been traveling the world so it is nice he gets to spend time with us little people.  Bill is talking to Zac and one of them told a joke, or they are laughing at me.

Tony  Monk came by and told me who he was. I wish everyone would do that.   I still want name tags.  People are starting to filter in, and Vicky just walked by. They have us way above the little people. I don't like that, but I have power, a comfortable seat, and a great view, so I shouldn't complain.

I saw some great dogs so far, and expect to see more today.  I know Saturday is THE BIG DAY, but it is still fun to see everyone with remaining dreams.  I will now send this, it is ten minute to the singing, so I will be bakc.

Thursday, October 26, 2023

The end

I should not say "the end" when speaking of an old person, but I am done.  They are doing the presentation class, and Bob is doing the announcing, so I am going to end my posts for today.

They said it went to Facebook and so I am not needed.

More tomorrow, so long as this old person is still around. I have to keep reminding myself I can't do what I used to do when I was 80.

12-15 bitches & 15-18 Bitches & Novice Bitches

12-15 Bitches
Here they come, Five in there.

Even just wandered off (some excuse about having a dog in the next class).  

Just before they start around, we have a late dog, so six in this class.  Once around the ring, and Rita starts on individuals.  First up is Dream of Glory.  Next up is Goldikova.  Followed by One Moment in Time with Mike.  Next is Blue Jean Baby with Lenny.  Then Zenyatta.  And finally I'm All In with George.

It's about 12:30 here, and some applause for the dogs, but the coliseum is fairly quiet.  About half the people in the building are watching the young dogs; and the other half are catching up with friends they haven't seen since the last National.

Now that Rita is done with Individuals, the crowd is starting to pay more attention.  Rita takes the group around, looks them over, moves the group around again, looks them over again, and moves Blue Jean Baby to front followed by Goldikova, then One Moment in Time and fourth I'm All In.  She then moves Goldikova to first and I'm All In to third.  And that's the way it ends.

15-18 Bitches
Eight in this class.  Rita checks them in, and sends half the class out for now.  Rita has the first group of four go around the ring.  And then she starts individuals.  First up is Judicate with Cindy. Followed by Mimosa Time with Nancy; then Moon Child and Run Woman Run.  Then she takes the group around, looks them over.  And she moved Mimosa Time to the front.  One more look, and she sends them out and asks for the next group.

Once around, and she starts individuals.  First up is Little Miss Honkytonk with Diane, then Puck It with Ileana, then Puck Ya'll with Lenny, and finally Let Freedom Ring with Olivia. 

I can hear people making plans for dinner tonight with friends they haven't seen in a while.  Springfield is a big enoough city to have several nice restaurants including a Steak House and Seafood Restaurant.  

OK, individuals are done, and Rita takes them around, takes a good look, and moves Puck Ya'll to second.  Then she brings the first group back in the ring.  Rita lines up all eight, looks them over, and starts some movements.  She keeps Mimosa Time in front followed by Judicate then Little Miss Honkytonk and Puck Ya'll.  And thats how it ends.

This may be screwed up but First was

Novice Bitches
6 bitches in this class.  

The dogs come in and line up.  Rita takes a look at the class, and then has all go around the ring, and starts individuals.

First up is Herminator.  Next is Mariah with Mike.  Then  Tony left so I am back.

That class is over and First waskTazzman's Mercedes Benz, Second Signaure's Venus of Blue Jeans, Third Crpsswomd's I'm all in.

15-18 month bitches First is Candua;s Mimosa Time V Sergio, Second is Asgard's Jidiocate, Third  is Mojave's Little Miss Honkytonk Bmeer, Fourth is New Era Puck Ya'll V Teja.



9-12 Only eleven entered

Eight in the ring, and those who aren't here, can't place. That isn't much different than what my dog Justice did, but they didn't pay to be here. Of course they did pay the entry fees.

She split them into two groups. Off go the first four.  Martha and Bob are talking to someone who is holding a bunch of ribbons, for scent work.  

Now a Kis daughter out there with Kent.  Rita takes her down and back twice, Kent tried going sideways.  Nice bitch Eklectic Juju Of Clayfield, the group breeding  Now zac with Annie Jimeni, same thing a Kiss daugher with the breeder from the last dog.

I like those bitches and they are litter mates, and hard to pick one over the other but from her I like Zac's best, but Scott No Ordinary Love, then Annie with Zac, then Juju with Kent and Kayla with My Ashes.  Another Levi bitch.  Annie goes to the front and goes out and in comes the second group.  I see more people whose names I can't remember than I ever remember seeing at any time that I can remember.

I always wanted name tags at the National, and even offered to pay for them. But no one ever agreed with me, which shows how smart the board is.

She has the last in the group with Olivia.  She moves My Name is Teater with Liz and Olivia to third with Gomez.  Rita holds them and is taking to the ring steward and in came three of the four from the last group. Kayla is missing, something must have happened, and around go the other four and new there are seven.

They line up and Rita gives everyone a good look and she checks temperament on each of the, and walks down the line and not to the middle again.  Now there goes all of them with Annie in front.  Teter to second with Liz. sonme serious double handling going on.  Zac and Liz, and Rita looks at the last two but makes no changes I think that might be how it goes, but I see double handlers running and off goes the seven adn I do like what she has the way it is and YES, that is it,

Annie in front, then Teter, the No Ordinary Love and Scarab.  Nice bitches.


More from the National

Bob and I are separated by the stairs.  Martha is here talking to Bob now. His dog just went second out of three. At least he got a ribbon.  I talked to Jimmie a bit this morning and Gloria is in front of me discussing the world.  I won't listen, that would be rude.  And, you know how politically correct I am at all times. 

We have a half hour break now, so Toni and I are going to go off to find trouble.

In come the 6-9 puppy bitches. Now we will see what Rita is made of.  Of course she did Specials at the National so this shouldn't be a problem.  16 in there.  We used to have classes like that. When I did a Futurity, in the old days when you had to bring the dogs on horse back, I had a class of 19.

I just went with Gloria to get a coffee, and had another corn dog. Lew Bunch is her and Rick Olosky is talking to tony.  Lew is talking to Kelly and Gloria is back watching.  Rita walk the first six.  Rita is resplendent in a full long dress and leggings of the same blue color.  

Al Martin came by and the bitches are going around. Now much excitement, compared to the males. Doing individuals and it is boring.  Rita know what she is doing and always does a great job. I did get to talk to Frank Fasano for a bit and saw Ann Schultz again. Just got to howdy, but didn't shake.  Her bitch just went by with Mikie, Hello It's Me Rosie of Hylowe Edan.

Rita is placing them. The crowd seems underwhelmed.  This is the end of this group and some people like Love at First Sight.  Another group to go.  I like that one too.  And she goes to second.  In front of this group is Here's Your One Chance.  She is a black and I like the second one better but that is not an easy decision.  Out they go and in comes the third group. Five in there and a number out of order due to litter mates.  I sort of like Evbearything I Hoped 4 Winsome.  I don't have to guess who the breeder is.

Rita is looking at them and I see Gloria is back with Joan and Tedi.  I suspect they are talking to me.

Rita sends them to the corner by the entry ring and they keep the bibs, so they are still in the running, or gaiting as it may be.

Now Rita is in the ring by herself.  I see Butch sitting talking to Ben. I think he might do the National next year.

Rita brings in the first group of six. Now the next second group.  And now, the third group.  The first group goes around and Rita looks them over, and walks to the front and tells them to stand back.  She keeps two and dismisses the rest.  Now she takes the second group and they go around.  She keeps Georgie and Lindsey and another and lets the rest go home for now. And not the third group, and she has four keepers so far.  And keeps three and now there are eight.  Sort of line little Indians.  Now she gets rid of one more of the second group. You can't fool Rita, and now there are seven.  Off they go, all seven.  Georgie in third with a black. Autum in front then the rest.  I think there is a lot more judging to do in this class.  Down and back.  Very little crowd reaction.  They like Love at First Sight, but Rita doesn't seem to notice.  She is nice. Both the bitch and Rita, but maybe I repeat myself.

Off they go.  Lindsey is second from the end and I like the bitch from up here.  Now she has Red Ruby in front with Autum and then the black with George and I think that is it.  YES. First is Legacy
s Red ruby, Second is Semar Peter's Here's You One Chance V Raintree Third is Karma's See Yooui Next Tuesday and Fourth is jSeamnar Peters' I CanBuy Myself Flowers V Raintree.

More to come.






Thursday with a real dog show.


Gloria came by and John is talking to Greg, a battle of the husbands.  They are doing the dogs first, then the bitches. 

Iwon't be here long as I want to get my dog ready.  Like I have anything to do with it. Ben just asked if I was blogging and i said yes, but I didn't know where iit goes. Pat just came by and Tedi and her sister are here and Lew Bunch just came by to say  howdy.

We are ready for the first class, and the seats are filling up. And in they come. Mikei with a good looking put, then Alex, then Diane, First is Good Looki, then Exclisive and finally Wyatt Earp.  I just heard someone's husband shot himself. I won't mention who it is as that is not my place.

Three absent for a class of six. This show could go fast.  Exclusive is one of those Levi sons.  Not too much to deal with three puppies.  That is it, First is Exclusive, sencond is Wyatt Earp and third is Good Looki. 

On to the next class.

Evan is back. Justice got Best of Dump, so I am proud of him.

Now on to Novice Dogs..  Three in there Heart and Soul;, Falls and Morgan.  Nice looking dogs, as are most of the entries.  No real losers.  Three in, three absent.  I  got to talk to Lynn Ferguson, so my National is a success.

Gloria is sitting with Joan Fox and Linda is telling them what to do.  Not much enthusiasm here, and the quiet is astounding.   Now first is Morgan, the Shamrock Falls and last is heart and Soul.  That is the decision of the Judge, and they finish in that order.

I will send this before we get to Owner Handled Dog as that always is an exciting class. Yes, Leonard, that is sarcasm.  

Education seminar

Excellent attendance
Standing room only

Thursday at the Natioinal

As usual I am here early. Irv is here setting up the video and when I left my room, Rick Olanski was coming out of the room opposite us. He and I were always early to the National and with Bob filming it was often the three of us in an empty venue.

This is a great location were it not so far away. If we hadn't sent our dog with the handlers, we would not be here with a dog. I won't fly one any more, and we can't drive that far. I can't get that much time off and Tedi won't spend that much time in a car with me.

Candy is here, and what a great job she has done putting this together.  I can't imagine what a job it is. The building is large, clean and easy to be in, and the food just across the drive is great, inexpensive and everything if fried. I have had three corn dogs, a pork sandwich and a hamburger, not to mention fried mushrooms.  the ground is some sort of compacted dirt with sawdust.  Not dusty and good footing. Even the sound system is good.  Parking is right next to the arena, and I am not sure where the other events are.

If only this were on the West Coast it would be perfect.  I miss some of the California folks.  Celeste can't be here, but I did see Pat made it. He retired and drove. Twyla isn't here and that means I laugh a lot less. I doubt Carolyn Martello will be here and I know we all miss Nancy.

Lots of my friends, and too many missing, but that is my curse for living this long. A young girl in the Chicago restaurant came by and asked Tedi and I how old we were. When we said she was shocked and asked our advice to live that long. I gave her the advice my aunt gave me when we did a magic stage show together when she was 102.  I asked to what did she attribute living that long?  She replied without missing a beat. "I didn't die".  That works.

Tedi's sister and her husband drove in from Michigan yesterday and they will be at the show for the rest of the week.

Justice, (our Levi son) will be in the 15-18 class. He has already gotten a 5, 4, 3 point majors.  I don't expect he will do much since he is the youngest in the class. But, he is fun to be around.  All the Levi stuff has great personalities.  Levi has 29 in his stud dog class. We missed the entry with our two. Justice's sister Judicate, (Cate) has a five point major as well.  Lindsey said she want to double Justice rather than handle him, so she got Kelly to show him.  It will be interesting, and I will be on the  floor for his class.  Six in there.

Lindsey is here talking to Channing, and only  six or so people here. Tedi will come later with her sister.   they are playing oldies on the  sound system. I can't accept music from the 70s as oldies. I want Elvis, Little Richard, The Killer, Patsy Cline, for my oldies. Age has it's privileges.

Zoe said she would put this on the Facebook page, and I don't know where it is showing up.  I never did understand where people read this, but I guess some do.  Half an hour to go to SHOWTIME, and I am ready.  Mike Moran is here, and tells me his black is being shown. He just had back surgery and is doing well.  Zac is here too, who is looking after Justice?  They brought Justice with them, and I miss him, Justice not Zac.

Tony is talking to me and some folks are filing in. They are going to hold off the start to 8:15 to be sure people are here for the National anthem.  In come the ribbons and Ben is here with a big box.  The box has lais in it and he is giving them out to the women.  Evidently they were sent by Pat, and Ben said there was one for Tedi.  He didn't offer me one. Vickey just came by, and I am at the entry steps so I get to see everyone as they come in. Vickey came by and we were talking about what she did. She agreed with me that when we are done judging, we don't remember what we did.

Bob (the voice of the national) is here now with me and Tony. Candy is telling us what is going on.  Mike Metz is here sitting with me,  Now the crowd is filling in and we are going to start a bit late since no one is here, and they have decided to start at 8:15.  I doubt it will make a difference.

I will send this and pretend anyone reads it.
