I don't know how the handlers do this weekend in and weekend out - maybe because they're used to it - but it's been a long couple of weekends! After our wonderful start on the Friday in Puyallup with Rodney, aka Inflight's Singin' in the Rain, getting his first 2 points - His father, "Marcus", aka BOF Lorien's Park Avenue OFA went WD/BOW for his first MAJOR!! On the Sunday in Puyallup, Rodney was awarded another RWD. The first day at the Rose City Classic under Bob Slay, Rodney won the 9-12 class, Winners Dog, BOW and Best of Breed for his first MAJOR!! We were totally tickled Pink - Julie and Rodney were then asked to be interviewed by the Animal Planet People - and then into Group where this puppy put in a pretty good performance - considering it was a REALLY LONG day for a young baby. Rodney was also awarded RWD the Saturday. Marcus didn't feel the need to put out in these rings, too small - no point to that he said - but he put in a good performance under Mrs. Michelle Billings and won the Open Dog Class! Thanks to Lorry for all your work with Marcus! Congratulations to Rodney's new co-owners, Julie Hamasaki and Lorry Bellah. Also Congratulations to the other Winners on these two weekends, and to Terry & Larry Rock (and everyone involved) on your new Champion!
