Gone To The Dogs

My life is more than a little crazy as I have two time-consuming hobbies, but being recently retired I hope to have more time for both. I've been showing dogs since 1967, but about 10 years ago decided to cut back on dogs and dog-related activities and add an "easy" hobby, like a tank of fish. I STILL breed and show dogs, but many tanks later I also keep a variety of aquarium fish. Hiking,gardening, writing, reading, cooking, and (especially) dining out are also favorite activities.

It Doesn't Get Much Better Than This

We went to the Awards Dinner joking that the one thing left on my To Do List was to win the Top Twenty.

The winner of the Thursday evening competition was announced at the dinner and it was (drum rolls) - Pauli! Our Bad Pauli!

All I can say is, "Wow, what a week"!

Such Fun!

A very good DCA. Again. For the 2nd year in a row one of our girls went Best Of Winners. This year it was Gemma, who finished her Championship with three 5-point Specialty majors.

Argus kids Krash and Pauli also did well, Krash (last years Best of Breed) was Select Dog and Pauli (last years Best of Opposite) won an Award of Merit. Good dogs!

The St.Louis Specialty winners were also "family" with Winners Dog being an Argus grandson, Winners Bitch being Gemma and the Best Of Breed Winner Ghost was a Watson grandson.

A very good specialty week! Now for the Awards dinner, more partying, and a return to SNOW.
