We all want the luscious green yard but in this State it really is just a bunch of weeds. And when you don’t keep it cut the stick-tights take over. I usually have get the hint loud and clear when a long coat comes in with a few on them. Today it was insane!! Beyond SCREAMING that the yard needs tending to when your long coat AND your smooth coat come in covered from head to toe! YIKERS! Sorry guys!

I seriously woke up feeling like complete crap! I didn’t even have enough energy to put on makeup, early combing my hair. I figured the last day would follow suit to the pattern of yesterday – No love for Tipsy and a second/Reserve combo for Duper. I predicted correctly – and then off to the car with the I ran to bundle up and watch dogs while Darius showed the rest of his dogs. I was miserable!

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!!!!

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!!!

But that didn’t stop Mr. Duper from doing his thing and getting Winner’s Dog and Best of Winners! Tipsy got second in her class but she walked on frozen ground – that’s a win to me!!!!

Rounded out my day at the show with getting watch Michelle rock the dachshund ring again! SO proud of her!!!!

Tonight I got my workout in – Took me 40 minute to get to the gym this time!!! But so worth it! Ended the evening hang out with Sandy, eating keto and talking Staffy Bulls. PERFECT evening!! Geared up for day three…..
