John Dehope also taught me that only 4 people will be happy with your decisions when you judge. The owners of the WD, WB, BOB and BP. You could be sure everyone else thought you sucked. I laughed then..... <G> It is getting better. It used to be only the WD, WB, BOB, and BP left the shows feeling good about the judge. Now you give two more ribbons for Selects, so you have six people enjoying your judging. I let the show last weekend feeling great about our two bitches. We made an 11, the hard way. We have two thirds, one fourth, and a first. I had a great time, enjoyed talking to both judges, and all my old, (and I emphasis old) friends. The Guz came to mingle, I sat for a minute with Paul the Judge, and the Gradys. I got to see Nancy and Zac, who I only see when we travel North. Summer and her mom, (known as Summer's mother) were with us, and that is always fun. I spent some time with Ed's new puppy Teddy. Now there is a beautiful pup. Bill Basu came by for a few minutes and his daughter was with him. She is always fun to talk to. Beth and Cindy had their party. That is always the high point of the year. Cindy and Summer played guitar, and sang around the fire pit. Erin and I got to talk for a few minutes at the fire, and she had a fantastic bitch there. So many old memories, and now some new ones. Michelle has her Winner's Dog, and so she did get one of the big wins. Ha Ja was there too, and won BOB on Sunday. Some great dogs won, I saw a Specials class of 12, and overall, had a good weekend. Winning is more fun, but not the only way to enjoy a dog show. Evan L.
