Kiss gets Winner's BTipsy still got third place, but she did it with her tail up for half of her trip around the ring and I couldn’t have been any prouder of her. And then Kiss after her weekend long “gimme” 1st place, she actually took Winner’s Bitch!!! It was so flipping awesome!!! And it totally took me by surprise! I will admit it – I cried tears of joy.

Personally, it has been a very emotional weekend and to have this be the way the three days ended was like a message that everything is going to be ok. And it will! Thank you Kiss! Thank you Judge Charles Olvis – You made my YEAR!!!

It’s all good though –  a wonderful morning spent with friends was the true treat of the day. That and of course, more training and socialization for the girls!

I am back to passing Miss. Tipsy around the room, getting her acclimated to strangers- AGAIN! I will keep at it until she too greets strangers with kisses and tail wags, like her daddy!

Being at the event to take photos leaves my hand free to help handle dogs for others – I volunteered to help take CJ into the ring today and throughout the weekend.

The smooth coats went first and Kiss was an automatic 1st her class. It was when she went back in for Winner’s Bitch that I got to see what life is like with a dog that walks with it’s tail. Oh my  WORD! What a difference! We didn’t win but it was still very exciting for me! CJ walked in Best of Breed just fin but we didn’t place. It’s all good – It was a HUGE entry!!!

Tipsy and I have come quite far in her show training (and socialization) in the last nine months so the chance to enter her in the TBCC Specialty was really pretty awesome. Last year at this time she was being passed around to everyone possible as a 4 month old pup. Now look at her!!

She got a third place in the Specialty and he tail was plastered to her underside – just not up or out. It’s an improvement – I’ll take it! And we have two more days of the same. Yahoooooooo….

They drag out toys from everywhere and then spread them about. Their latest obsession is an old hard plastic chew toys I found at the Target Dollar Spot. This thing has been in the toy box for several years now and is still in pretty good shape! Love when old toys get new energy and these two are sure to make a few new “dents” in it.
