Whew just back from the LA Specialty, PUURRRFECT weather, great coffee this morning, (hey that's important!) and great friends So happy to see our friends...and enjoy the ride in with Vicky Cayer, great Lady for anyone who has not had the pleasure of meeting with her. Got to see my super friend Jen Arends and her great boyfriend Jeremy...cute couple, and hope to see them both at the National. Love these two. Gloria and Sharlonna, always great to see them, as well as Bob and Darlene Ghigleri....beautiful day , wonderful friends. Everyone was pretty relaxed today, or maybe tired, lolol... I would like to give a heartfelt THANK YOU to MR BOB EATON, for giving Nitro (Ch. Elvaston's Nations Cup) a great BOS in a nice Specials class. Mr. Eaton we sure did appreciate your comments about "Nitro" he is very special to us, as you can tell. He never lets us down. Congratulations to a terrific lady and owner of the BOB , Sharon Buckley for her bitch Ch. "Tanga" Doing the happy dance for you Sharon! THANK YOU to Madeline Lassich, Judy Ecklund and Linda Freeny for keeping a very antsy, tired and bored 5 year old Hunter Tank, corralled so Mom here, could double during specials.....I am so grateful for their friendship, and watching over the little stinker. A big THANK YOU to Sharon and Micheal Avery for their professional photography. Michael took an action shot of Nitro for me, (no not gaiting) that is a real SHOWSTOPPER....I will cherish it always, it is so COOL!!!!!! These folks are truly top notch at their craft!! Sharon's eye for a great dog and structure and Michael's uncanny ability to get incredible action photos of all kinds...what a team!!! AND YOU GET TO SEE THEM BEFORE YOU ORDER , RIGHT AT THE SHOW!!!!! Thank you as always to my Loving Husband, beautiful job with everyone , as always. Hope everyone had a pleasant and happy day.
