Even with Tasha keeping my feet warm! She was in a bit of a panic watching and waiting for her favorite human but she managed to keep it somewhat together!

Bonus of the day – Outside of getting to nap on the drive home – Seeing I made it into the Canine Chronicle for the Meet the Breed booth in December! So honored!!!!

Love that fact that I get too see my out of town peeps up here though. Big time bonus to these shows. Of course, even better when you get to doit with our hometown friends too! And getting to spend more time with Grizzly – Every second is a true gift!

Tipsy earning her very first point!!!!! SOOOOO EXCITED!!!! I can go home now 😉

Ok just kidding – can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!

Duper is still rocking’ the ring and took WD and BOW for another point – YAHOO!!! Tipsy got first and no love beyond but it’s ok – she’s sill a baby! We got a long way to got with her 🙂

I got to handle so may fun dogs today!! A beagle, ridgeback and a Pomeranian. But what made today extra special? Getting to watch a dear friend get a Group 1 in owner-handled and then cheer her on in Best in Show! Congrats Stephanie!!!!!!

Today’s “other breed” was Pomeranian! Love me some Poms for sure. That and when the Java truck is at the show because that’s when I can actually stick to my diet, eat protein shakes yummy tuna salad. It inspired me to find the Ocala Planet Fitness! Not as far away as the Brooksville one – Thank GOODNESS!!!

Of course, I also have  share that the first day Tipsy’s second show weekend was also memorable. Still cold as ever here in Brooksville and she able to get first place in her class AND Reserve!!! LOVE HER!!!

I wasn’t the only one who had a great day at the show today! Arvid brought Salt for everyone to love on – He’s a cutie! I got to watch Michelle take it ALLin the dachshund ring – SO excited for her! And I got to see so many friends from near and far! I love this circuit!!

Tipsy was a real trooper. Granted, I had to buy her a little jacket – the most expensive jacket I have ever purchased for a 4 pound dog in my life – but it did the job by keeping her warm enough to walk around the ring to earn her 1st place!

The temperatures dropped further and further today – so much so that I was bundled the majority of the day and stayed as close to the portable heaters as possible!

While Tipsy went Reserve (so proud) Stella got Winner Bitch for the points!!! Go Stella! So unbelievably proud of her. She has comes such a long way!

We had another day of successful walking around the ring with no competition but today the temperatures started to drop and there was a definite nip in the air. I didn’t stay cold for too long though. Parker wanted to hang with Auntie James (that’s what she calls me) and I can tell you that she keeps me young for sure!

I was running and running and RUNNING and then I ran some more when I finally found the closest Planet Fitness. Unfortunately it happens to be over 30 minutes away! Well worth the drive though – I got in a double workout!

Georgie and Duper came along for socialization and support! I thought life on the road would a bit easier to handle with his new bestest buddy Georgie. Duper took to it almost instantly – I don’t think we are going to have a problem there at all.

And with all of the show accomplishment excitement aside, we also had the local news doing interviews in the grooming area where Darius and Dolly were able to make cameos in the segment. Gonna have to keep an eye out for it on News 13!
