After a few hours sleep :) I thought of some things I left out. - One of my favorite photographers takes pictures for these clubs...Amy Murkland. How great is it to have your proofs at the shows themselves! Plus - you get pictures in motion, head shots, posed and candid shots. Amy also is doing something terrific. She is sharing her expertise with local young club members - like a mentor. Great job Amy! - What a wonderful joy to see Mo out and about. I know she was thrilled to see 'her new Spunky kid' in the ring. It was so great to see you Mo. - These club members do a great job with Juniors. I saw at least 3 young men handle who will be 'real competition' soon. All the members and handlers were right there to help. And - a special nod to judge Randy Darnell who took the time to spend with these young men while they were in the ring. He gave them valuable input into showing their dogs well. - They held a great raffle and silent auction as well. Maybe I think it was great because I won this wonderful wine carrier filled with Sterling Vineyards wine. My friend Sam won this huge basket (3' wide) filled with Margerita makings..Patron Tequila, Cointreau, etc. etc. OK that's it for now - Kathy. P.S.: We missed you Iza. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2009.
