Melissa's visit to CA is coming to an end. We've had a really fun summer and Melissa got to meet all the FUN people in CA. Thank you to everyone who supported her trip to CA and let her take your dogs in the ring. We don't have any MAJOR brags for her last weekend at the shows, but Melissa did an awesome job handling Maggie (Milo's Here Comes Trouble) and Boss/Maggie's baby, Layla (Treasure Ranch's Layla V Milo) Layla is just 7 mos old and has a puppy brain. Melissa did a great job in the ring and Layla was second in her class both days. Maggie really enjoys working with Melissa and it shows. She was 4th on Sat and looked like she was having a great time. Tough competition and decent size classes in the bitches too. Maggie is so naked right now that I was thrilled about the 4th place :-) Another little brag. My boy, Fairhope's Pit Boss (Boss) went to camp for two weeks with Eric and Joannie. It was so hard to let my boy go to camp. But, he seriously needed to get over some mommyitis, LOL! Boss looked awesome this weekend. It was the most animated and happy he's looked in the ring in months. He really took to Eric and Joannie and was ,of course, happy to see me and his girl Maggie. Thank you Judge Wendy Willhauck for recognizing his exceptional movement. And, thank you Eric for handling him to a 2nd in Open dogs with some serious competition. And, Joannie for taking such great care of my baby :-) Laura Thomas http://www.treasureranchgsds.com/ ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
