Just got back from the Minneapolis/St. Paul shows and spending the last week and hung out with people that I love. We went to the Mall of America, spent time getting our hair done, ate until we all were in food coma's, hung out with the girls and had a slumber party .. we just plain had alot of fun! As you've all heard quite a few times that the shows were perfect. The club is awesome and there were alot of beautiful dogs entered and showed. Before I do the brag... I want to make sure that I'm very clear that this puppy is owned by Maria Oster. It's her baby girl and heart dog. Maria allowed Liz and I to put our names on her :) She is a SUPER cool girl!! My brag for Maria, Liz, me and for Kent: PUDDLES aka "Marquis' I Love A Rainy Night" went Best Puppy on Saturday under judge D.D. Ardoin. Kent showed Puddles in her class and won and then I was super excited to get to take her back in for the winners class and then Best Puppy. Puddles is out of American and Canadian Grand Victor, Grand Champion Tazzman's Aregon, OFA and 2007 Futurity Victrix, Best in Futurity, 2008 Maturity Victrix, Select Champion Marquis' Blonde Bombshell, OFA. If that's not exciting enough... The Best Puppy Winner is given in honor of Joan Johnson. I can't tell you how much it meant to me that Maria's little puppy won. The beautiful trophy and framed ribbon with a picture in it is going to hang in their house. The club put together a BEAUTIFUL package honoring Joan and it's super cool that the first time it was given it'll be with one of their puppies. Thanks for listening and thanks for supporting Puddles! I miss you Joan! Liana New ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
