There's no restriction on the reasons why it was your best National. It might be the time I had a bitch finish by going winner's bitch, then I took her into Specials to go number two Select. Or the time I was in Kentucky and didn't freeze to death. Or the year I sprained my ankle in the Specials class. Or maybe the time I met Jane Kerner, or Dave Rinke, or Joan Ford, or Cappy and Gloria, or Fred, or maybe the year I tore my hamstring showing under Fred, or the years that I saw Houston go Select, or the year a Dakota son went Grand Victor, or the year I saw The Boss go Grand Victor, or the year I saw Jack Newton's dog go Grand Victor, or the time I met Helen Fisher, or the year I was on the board so I got to work at the national, or the year I met Zoe at the national. It might have been the year I won the Bred By Class and Ken Downing was behind me with the second place dog. Or maybe the year I showed Ben in the Maturity and went third behind R-Man and Illuminator. Or the year I got to sell raffle tickets, or the first year I did a Blog, or the year I first went to Philadelphia and got to threaten the teamsters with a big dog, or the year I was introduced to Jimmy, or the years I made new friends. Or possibly the years I got to see my old friends again. If this is your first year, come by and say hello. I want to be able to say this is one of my favorite nationals as it is the one when I met Paulette.
