Here we go with Open Bitches. I get to sit with Barbara at the table and she looks great today. It is the last day before Specials. Barbara is telling me about judging and the entries. I saw Pam Stoeser talking to Bob Eaton, and there is Sue Godek, and Joan and Fran Ford are standing in front of me. The bitches are in the ring now and it is a big lineup. There is Joane Corby and I see that Debbie has moved down and let all of them out of the ring except for the last group, but all of them are out, and only six left at the other ring. Way too far for me to see. There is Tiffany Bartley and Lesslie Dancose walked by. Barbara is leaving and we will be back later. I see Terry Howard and he came by to say hello. I see Kent Boyles talking to Joan Fox and Debbie is doing the individuals. For some reason that I will never understand, there is a group in front of me of ten people including Randy Darnell, who is talking to Kent Broyles and The Guz, all standing right in front of me. No one anywhere else on this side of the ring. There goes Lorrie Nickolson and Lana Lee Jorguson is coming to say hello. I see Fran Ford talking the Mike Sherman. That group goes out, and now for a new cabal. Dania is here talking to Joan Ford, (I am going to stop with the last names, it is too hard for me to remember them. There goes Nikki Daniels. In the ring is the next group, and I see The Guz in front, and now Debbie is walking to the table, it is about ten miles, (so it seems) to wipe off her hands. First is the Guz and the individuals with him. Bart is standing here now, and so is Erin Nellis, lookiing great in yellow and black. Barbara, by the way is in another great outfit, she must have gone shopping as they said. I did see Lee Brown here yesterday but didnâ??t get a chance to say hello. People like the dark sable Jerry has, and so do I. It is Shantyâ??s Tanqueray. And now the next one for the individuals. We are going to dinner tonight with the Rinkeâ??s (Martha just got here last night) Bob Eaton, Twyla and whoever else wants to join us. I am looking forward to it. Dave Coleman is talking to me and we are both talking about the board, so it is interesting. I am sure they will do well without us, or probably better. I see Jimmy Moses in front of me now, and Alex is talking to him. Now Debbie has her last group in there now, and going over them. I see Jennifer Root watching the bitches, and Peek A Boo is in the ring. Gail Hardcastle just joined us at the table, and I see Sergio outside the ring. Susie Witmer stopped to say hello, and there is George. There goes Patty Breau with the Maturity Bitch, and all black. Jack Jahelka is standing here talking to Joanna Rand, and in the ring is Leslie with Debbie looking on. This is the last class, so something should happen soon. Dan Smith just walked by. Ron Peete was trying to get me on line in the arena, but he couldnâ??t do it. I will take the computer three miles down the raod to send this, when the winnerâ??s dog and winnerâ??s bitch class is over. Now Trish Wylie is in the ring, and showing American Freedom Wellborn. Bob Grady just came by to make sure we had the speakers off in the obedience ring. And, we donâ??t know. The dogs are at the other end, so I canâ??t see them that well, but Bob Dresher is next to me telling me who is who. Or is it whom? Either way she is a good looking dark sable. Debbie walks down the line and now back to the front. And she takes them around. There they go and Paul Root is here asking about the schedule. And they take the pass, and in the ring comes the rest of them. Debbie takes them in groups of five, and now walks to the front of the line of bitches, and starts to puu, it is Scott, Bart, George Alex, Lorie, Kent Tiffany John Nichols Sergio, Patti and Trish. Debbie looks them over, and walks to the other group, and now tells them to stand back as she looks at those who figure to spend most of the day outside looking in. Next to me is Pam Stoesser, Bob Penny, Jane Kerner and Paul Root. I also see Jeff Mobeuse here and hey are watching the last group in the ring. They go around with Terry, Bill Tank, Diane, and (oh who cares, they are all sent out of the ring). Now she goes back to the first group, her keepers. She has 12 who dream of going winnerâ??s bitch, or at last some thought of it. She puts Scott in front themn Mike, then The Guz, Alex, then Sergio, Patti, Al Matin, Lorri, Kent and Tiffany, John, (Paul Rootâ??s cousin), then Trish. And they take a pass, and she moves Tiffany up to seventh. And let the last four go, and now there are eight. Scott, George, Jerry, (The Guz) for those who donâ??t know who the Guz is, Alex, Tiffany, Sergio, Patti, with the Futurity bitch, and Kent is last with Isabel of Fran-Jo Anne Isle. And that is the class, and they each take a pass alone. Now the crowd is awake. They are stacked at the end of the ring, and Debbie walks to stad in front of the first bitch about ten feet back and she moves George in front of Scott, then Jerry, Sergio and then Patti. She I looking over the last part of the group, and now stands back and tells them to take a pass, and end up behind her, and moves to the center and watches them as they pass by the cream colored wall. I do like what George has, My Oh My. These bitches are all up, and looking good. Now she brings them to stand posed towards the other end, sort of strange, because they have cut the ring, and she walks down the line and the crowd tries to influence her by cheering for the Maturity bitch. Now they take another pass, I think that is it, and YES! First is Windy Acres; My Oh My, second was Whitsideâ??s Love and Freedom, third is Shantyâ??s Tanguery, and fourth is Angie, Fmcr-3019, (from Mexico). More to come.
