Looks like everybody had some fun and I see alot of familiar faces and dogs. ALL of them in fact.
Bonnie you got half the show , get any better and they'll have to put a fence up between In. and Mi.. (grin)
Deb it's hard to go out without those old timers isn't it , she looks good.
Jerry & Peggi I wish my male looked as good as Poncho right now.
Curtis, Kathy and Andi just giving'em a whipping with a pup and a Lep at that, you guys are hard to beat any where you show up. Looking good Kathy.

Good job Rodney I see some nice dogs there.

Sounds like a good show and nice club with everybody having a good time.
Congratulations

We really wanted to show at this c lub because of the wonderful people that they have in this club. The problem was all our not as old show dogs are strewed all over right now lol. So I said ,ok, come on Shadow lets just see what the old coots can do lol. Well glad to see she still has it in her, but she made me stay on my toes with her lol. I want to tell people
you must try to go to this neaxt year each year it gets better and better and the company is outstanding.
It also gives the dogs a good pratice before winter classics lol. I will say there was a good quility of dogs showing.

It was good seeing people after being shut in in this weather lol.
1 of Shadows grandbabies was there also .

I really want to thank all the club members and others who donated and made all this possible and Tammy I LOVE THE MIRROR.

Peggi - It was nice talking to you too and I know he was in a hurry tell him next time he isn't going to get away so fast!

Dale- Thank you for the compliment ! and I sure hope no big walls go up I really had a good time and always do when i visit this club. Hope to see you soon .

Deb- I wish we had more time I would of showed you
Boomer but somehow you escaped and went home before I got a chance and Bitty was just so out of control it wasn't even fun to try to get her to show.Thanks for the tips on her.
