…and it is totally keeping me geeked! KC was even better today in the ring and on the table – Making me even more confident with my choice to show her in the Bred-By Exhibitor class. No matter how many conformation classes we attend, the actual show itself...

We girls spent some time last night giving Alexis more detailed instructions on what to expect from the judge and some new possible formations she might be asked to perform. Clearly the tutelage paid off because Alexis ROCKED it today! Stack on the floor, triangle and...

Before we could head up to our hotel room and turn in for the night, we decided to set up for tomorrow. 10 more auction item/bed sets (which we sold ALL of today’s) and we moved the trophy table to just outside the ring. Our club voted to hand out trophy cards...

It’s like Toddlers & Tiaras in our hotel room tonight. Sweet baby KC is being primped and primed for her dog show debut tomorrow morning. Using the sink and my trusty Isles of Dogs products, she got a wonderful bath and blow dry. With the help of Shelly,...
