Maturity Bitches are in the ring. I just got a hug from Gloria, and said that Cappy hollered for Oâ??Connor. Tedi just came by and said he had diarra, and that was the problem. Lissa just took my picture, and I hear Tony does a better job than me, so maybe he should do this. There they go into the ring. I canâ??t imagine who can do mor than one class. The bitches do not seem as good as the males, but the Futurity Bitch is as good as they get. I see Tom Mesdag in the ring checking them in and there are twelve in here. The stands are now about half full. I see Dorothy Lynn talking to Art Sinlair, and now Barbara is telling them to mobe to the side. Terri Miles Green is here, and last night I call Debbie Kaser Sheryll Brockett, I have only known them both about 30 years. Bill Basu is talking to me asking me who is doing it while I was in the ring. Bill is reading over my shoulder. I saw Champion Diana with her owner, Paula, not Pamela, and I think she is in obedience. Now the first bitch is out there. Liana is sitiing with me and has lots of pictures I donâ??t know if I can post them but she will help and she looks fantastic. She gets better looking every year. If I were 30 years younger and single she still wouldnâ??t go out with me. The first bitch was Brandy and the crowd liked her. Now Liberia is in the ring, and she is an all black, and a good one. I canâ??t believe it, but Jimmie is in the ring with Jezabel, he owns with his ex. I love a good divorce. Now Al Martin with Infiniti. Dean Wylie is talking to Paul who is sitting down next to me. He looks beat. I did see Joan Ford and she looks like she always did, and it sure made me feel good. Sheâ??s Got To The Look is in ther and is a pretty thing. Yolanda is standing next to us, and watching the judging. Barbara is looking great and doing a great job. Olivia is in the ring and showing Zarazuela. Kickerbacker is in there with Georgie, and that would be my pick, so far. But now Kent is in the middle with Isabel, that must be why Fran and Joan are working so hard. She is a super bitch too. This is a good group. The crowd is quiet, and maybe the fact that it is 7:00 p.m. has something to do with it. Jimmie is sitting in the ring with Karen Wagner, and there is some applause for Kentâ??s bitch The Black from the Phillippbars is in there with Art Sinclair. Nancy Godek is talking to Ben next to me, and Tony is watching the show. The excitement for me was going around again, I do love to show, I love to win better, but it is a close second.. Joanne Conboyâ??s son just came by to say hello. He has a beard and I didnâ??t recognize him, but he looks great with the beard. He is talking baseball with Paul, and I think it is baseball. Bill Tank is in ther now with Gouda Girl. (I just figured out they are talking football). I am not a sports person. Showing dogs is enough for me. I did talk to Twyla, her bitch got moved up in the Futurity so I am sure she is pleased. Mike Sherman is out there with Sweet Sensation. I havenâ??t seen any temperament problems at all. Thatâ??s the last one. The doubling is picking up. There they go, and Barbara lines them up and walks towrads the group. She looks better thant he last time I saw her, she must have found some secret. She starts at the front, and looks at each dog, and puts her hand on the head and walks slowly down the line. She doesnâ??t show anything on her face, and each one gets the same look. She is at the end of the line and now walks to the front. She starts to place them and puts Georgie in fourth and moves Mike up to sixth. Diane I still in front, Jimmie in second. But, that is where they started. She tells the last six to take a lap, I think it is to make sure there is not a mistake being made. Paul said I am blogging and Nancy asked me what I am sahying so I have typed it in. She is done with those and now wants to see the other six. I think this is her keeper class. She is waiting and there they go. One at a time with Brandy in front. Some one woke up this crowd, they love that bitch. And, now each one as they are. Jimmie still have a greathand, but he cut the ring off more than I did, but he is not breathing heavy. He is yelling at Sherie, and I wonder why, if they arenâ??t married. I guess he wants to treat all double handlers the same. Jennifer is now here talking to Paul, and Barbara is moving them around, but Brandy is still in front. Knickerbocher is in front now, with Georgie., I do love that bitch and she is going to be hard to beat in this class. He has Liberia in second, and those two go together. Very close. But the black does not have the appeal of Nickerbocher, in my mind. But I canâ??t see her all the way, too many people in front of me. She changes them and puts the black in front for a pass, and they are on a 12 foot lead, at least,a nd Barbara puts the black up front Liberia. That might be it. They gather themselves and there they go. She is giving them all a last look, the keeprs, and that is it. She counted them off, but there is but one winner, Knickerbocker Glory. Now for Best in Maturity and best opposite. In Futurity the winner was Futurity Victor Mikrees Sujmmer Premiere and the Futurity Victrix Marquisâ?? Here I am v Surgio, the Maturity Victor is TRâ??s Antonio and the Maturity Victrix is Karizmaâ??s Libefria. A long but fun day. I feel great, and sw so many old friends. I see Libby Cameron talking to Donna,a nd Nancy Nellis talkign to Erin. Everyone seems in a good mood, Tedi didnâ??t yell at me, so I guess I did OK. More to follow.
