This has been the best time I have had this year. God no's I need it. Everytime something would come up there was on of the group to lend and helping hand. That is what I call real team work. Donna and Leslie did a great job with Mike and also me. Olivia is very special. And the fun never stoped. Thanks to everyone. I need a weekend like this. Dee I have a challenge to â??DA LISTâ?? to try to top this as one of the best times ever had at a dog show! Last weekend my friend Dee and I went to the show in Canfield, Ohio. The fair grounds were lovely and the golf carts added an element of NASCAR to the affair. The show was great and the company superb. We were invited to the GIRLZ barbeque where we visited with Mary Tripp and Linda Selman of New York and Mary Ward, Lenny Brown was there with his devilish personality and Raul who calmly sits around smiling and you wonder what he must think of all our shenanigans as well as many others too numerous to mention. And then it rained. Let me tell you, the heavens opened up and peeâ??d on our parade and the barbeque too! Well leave it to the antics of Olivia and her friend Kelly to put the silver lining in our torrential down pour. It rained so hard and so much that there were rivers running through the show ring and a newly made pond in the freshly cut hayfield next to the ring was more than Little Olivia could resist. As we sat under the awnings and dog tents we heard squeals of glee coming from across the road. We all got up and went to investigate to find Olivia and her friend Kelly â??slip N slidingâ?? through the pond. They took high speed running starts at this pond and would dive on their bellies and slide for 20-40 feet as they would roll and squeal with delight. We stood around laughing until our sides hurt but the best was yet to comeâ?¦â?¦ . As the spectator crowd grew, from the back of the mob came a familiar New York accent (Donna of course) screeching â??Olivia No, Stop, get out of there youâ??ll get worms!â?? Well thatâ??s all it took and this laughter weary gathering burst into another chorus of cheek numbing belly laughter. Oh wait, thereâ??s still more........Olivia and her friend Kelly drenched in grassy slop and smelling like freshly fertilized fields decided it would be endearing to give Momma Donna a big old sandwich hug. Donna scrambled to find friends to hide behind, Her friend Amanda was slimed trying to protect her but alas her New York moxy was all she had to rely on. As she threatened her beloved daughter with unspeakable things (worming was mentioned) the girls attention turned to poor, unsuspecting Lenny Brown. As they approached Lenny and he realized his fate he let out with a series of blood curdling scream that any little girl would be proud to own and ran faster than any man I have ever seen! He ran all the way down the road and around the corner, with Olivia and Kelly in pursuit. There is talk of a reality show for The Girlz! It would be very entertaining trust me.
