=20 Evan = is hungry so he is leaving everyone sitting on pins and needles; but I (To= ny Szczuka) am bored, so I=E2=80=99ll type for a while. Best In Futur= ity went to Marquis=E2=80=99 Blonde Bombshell. Ernie Planck came in =the ring to present the Breeder=E2=80=99s trophy to Liz &Doug Oster.&= nbsp;I asked Doug if wanted to borrow my tie, but he refused &went i= n with his T-shirt. They were supposed to take= pictures after the presentation, but it=E2=80=99s late, and the crowd is = tired, so they are pressing ahead with judging. The Maturity Dogs ha= ve come in the ring - I missed the firstone (Ivyleague Winning Ticket), b= ut George is in now with Chestnut Hill=E2=80=99s Apollo. Next is Mike= Sherman with Greenwood=E2=80=99s Achilles (good crowd support as he goes = around). Now Nicklaus=E2=80=99 Night Train is in. And this is = Evan, and I don=E2=80=99t care what is in. Actually I had a hamburger and = it wasn=E2=80=99t that bad. There goes Kentwith the Open Dog from l= ast year. The crowd likes him, or the dog, it is hard to tell which.= Actually, he is a good looking dog. Diane Brown is in, she keeps getting = younger and better looking. It doesn=E2=80=99t seem fair. Dan is doing the individuals and it is all but silent in= the arena.A lot of people have left, and those that are here, seem subdu= ed. Itis about eight now and most haven=E2=80=99t eaten. Noth= ing going on, so I am saying nothing. Now the last one with Surgeo, = and then on to the judging. It is getting cold in the arena, and thi= s has to be the longest day. We need to add a day to the National. J= OKE! We had hours when nothing happened, and an hour to demonstrate = WDA type of showing. We need to coordinate the events to move the time, no= t take so much time out of theshow. People ar= e moving by to double handle, even Big Dave is up and moving, and now some= soud, Dan walks to the front, picks out Georgie, the Mike, to the end of = the group,a nd he looks them over and stands there looking and pulls out Th= e Guz. He looks over the rest and walks back to the front, and doesn= =E2=80=99t seem to like anything else. He moves to the front and sets the = first four back, and takes the rest around. He seems to be looking for a B= OD dog, (Best Of Dump), and so he is watching the other nine dogs. He take= s Night Train and Winning Ticket, and takes the rest around, and I doubt t= hey have much more ring time in them today. Not what you would call = the Magnificent Seven. He walks to the end and pulls out Surgeo, Kin= d=E2=80=99s Ramsom and sends the rest tot he side. He has six tolook at, = and tells Kent to let him stand, and he is looking at his last two, and no= w stands back and tells them to take a lap. Off they go. Dan looks f= resh, and has his hand up next to his head as he watches them go. Lots of = noise now, and clapping. He moves Kent to the front, with Jerry behi= nd him, and George in third. Kent has Army, and we all know what he = did last year. Jerry is pushing him, but ARMY HAS It. Welove Du Chien= =E2=80=99s Army Of One.
