The presentation class was fun. When Joy came in a big share of the
crowd started to sing a Joy song, and she loved it. Baily's class was
great and fun to see. About an hour ago, someone came to the
announcer's table to say that as she walked by a car, she was startled
to see someone knocking on the glass and holding up a message that she
couldn't get out. So we announced for someone to go to the car. When
they checked, no one had gone, so she came back and asked us to
announce it again, which we did. I found out that it was Ilean
VanWieren, and she locked herself in and couldn't open the doors. She
is OK, but if it had been a dog, we would have called the police and
brought charges. But, it was just a human being. A good one, but not a
dog. I took a break and bought some great stuff for the kids in the
office. They aren't into dogs, but the two girls are 18 and 23, so they
will take whatever I give them. They are staying at the house to take
care of my dogs, (can I be sued for that), and so they either hate
German shepherds by now, or love them. Bob is smiling the class is in,
and the first group of seven is there. Ken, Bill The Guz, Olivia Reggie
and Jack. One handler I can't recognize. Bill Tank is outside the ring
with Kent, and they both have numbers so I know they are going in. Bob
is still doing the individuals, and the ring is open. Olivia is in
there now, and she has grown up so much. She is a young woman now. Ed
just came by and said he had second thoughts and he was going to kill
me. I suggested he just sue me, and I gave him Margy's number. Come on,
you have to laugh at this stuff. It is so tense now about the meeting,
and we will see what happens in but a few hours. There goes Kim
Schooley, and walking with Erin Nellis. Bob moves the first two. Bill
basu with Sha Nay Nay, then the Guz witth Tikleme-elmo. Next is Reggie
with Vanity Fair. And those three get a trip followed by the last four.
I think the three are the ones to watch. Those seven take a break, and
in comes the next group. Seven new ones to face the music. Diane is in
front, (for not) with Betty Boop. But, that is how she was entered. The
second one in this class Tedi and I owned for a couple of months. She
went back to her owner with two majors, and is in there now. She can
move. More individuals and lots of milling about. The seats are full
and not much room in the bleachers. It is good we are all friends.
Well, from my view, we are. I did go to Sally's booth. Great stuff, and
I spent my allowance. I may have to ask Tedi for some more money. He
pulled out two of them, Giselle and moved them to the side, and in
comes another group, Leslie said to say hi to Dale and Bonnie and
Olivia went second in Bred By and could have won. It is great to see
Leslie feeling good and in top form. And she is in almost every class.
The new group has Kent at the end, for now. This has to be the last
group, so there they go, and next the dreaded individual, for me at
least. My favorite in that group, Allyson. I am not afraid to say
ahead, but I guess I could wait until the winners are picked and then
say that was my choice, and insert it in the front of the post. Maybe I
will do that on Saturday to make myself look good. There goes Cappy
walking with Gail Hardcastle, and I understand Ken Downing is here, but
I haven't seen him yet. Bobbie Kindy is sitting with Nancy , and
talking to Liz Sottile. I did see Scootie earlier but Pat Parsons is
sitting by herself right now, and Norma is talking. Bill Tank just went
around and it makes me feel better to see him breathing hard. I can't
imagine that I used to be able to run this type of ring, and I miss it
so. But, I see Jean Whalen hugging Terri Miles Green, and it is good to
see them both. They have a nice tribute to Dick in the catalog, and a
big poster for Bob Penny in the hall. We need to appreciate our friends
and those who should be our friends. Olivia came by to chat. Actually
she wanted to see a card trick, so I showed her a new one I am working
on. Peter Cassiopio is walking by and also Dania stopped by. Pan O'Dell
has a great leather vest, and I may try to steal it from her. Back to
the show. My attention is waning, and I need to maintain long enough
for Saturday, and there goes Kent, the last in the last group. Now the
real stuff begins. He put Kent in front and then goes to the first
group, with Bill Basu in front. Olivia is helping me and he moves them
around and is placing his bitches. He has Giselle in front with Long Ht
Summer in second and he stes them aside, and aske the rest of the
class, four bitches to go around. He moves them to the other side, and
now is working with the second class and moves Diane up to fifth in
that group, and I know she is excited. Then he takes them around. Helen
Gleason just cam by and talked to me. There they go and Bob is walking
over to this group, and he is talking with hand gestures and out go
seven and no more National for this year. Now he looks over He moves
Giselle up front then Allyseon and then Sha Nay Nay, and the other
four. Now Bob stands back and takes his last three around. And Bob
tells them to take them loose and one at a time, and there goes
Gesille. Next is Kent with Allyson, and that is top quality. I think I
spotted her when they first came in, or was that another class? Dania
is here too now, and talking to Olivia. I see Kathy Tank relaxing, and
the end is in sight. The crowd likes Long Hot Summer. There goes Bill
Tank and Sean is talking to us now. They need water for the handlers,
and I say, let them eat cake. Bob is done looking them over and calls
the first three to the center. They stand loose and he is looking at
each of them, and there goes Norma, she is not talking. He reaches for
one and "not a chance". Now he calls the last four out there, and
stands them. All good bitches, number one, goes to last place and now
Kent is in front, with Allyson. All down and back. There is some
excitement now, and three more to go. There are cute ladies in there,
and the bitches are nice too. Actually there is only one female handler
left, and this national has all male judges. I wonder, is there a
message there.? He moved Jack into fourth, and at this point there is
honor in a placing. Bob walks back to look them over, and folds his
hands, and Bob takes the first three, and I do like the third one best,
except for the one in front who I would love to own. I think she is a
super-star, but I am not judging. Now he is looking at the last four,
all good ones, in my opinion which no one cares about since the Mentor
part of the National is over. Standing, First is Kaleef's Allyson V
Kenlyn, Second Hot Summer, Third is Backachers Sha Nay Nay, and Fourth
is Faith Rock Caralon Surfer Girl. Randy Darnell is here with us now,
and we decided to just end the discussions and just report the winners.
It sounds good to me. Evan
