Here we are in Sacramento. It seems odd to drive seven and a half hours from our home in California to a show in California. But we are here. Summer and her family were two hours behind us, and so they got in after nine. We tried to beat the traffic. You cannot go anywhere in California without traffic. We are again at the wrong hotel. Last year we stayed here as well and when we went to the show location realized they had changed it, so we drove each day to the new place. Not a big deal. Sacramento is a small town. ____________________________________________________________________________ _ Two old people go to the doctor to find out how to solve the problem they were having. They tell the doctor, â??We canâ??t remember stuff, and keep forgetting things.â?? The doctor says to them, â??You sir are 85 and madam, you are 82, it is normal not to remember things. You have to write them down, and that is the only problem.â?? So, they agree and return home. He says to her, â??I am going to the kitchen, do you want anything?â?? â??Yes, she replies. I want some ice cream, write it down.â?? He says, â??I donâ??t need to write that, I am just going to the kitchen, and I will get you your ice cream.â?? â??No, she says, I want chocolate sauce, write it down.â?? He responds, â??I donâ??t need to write that down, it is just ice cream with chocolate sauce.â?? â??Again, she says, write it down, I want sprinkles on it too.â?? â??I donâ??t have to, I am in the kitchen and will get you what you asked for. â?? About ten minutes later he returns and hands her a plate of bacon. She looks at it, looks at him, and says, â??Whereâ??s my toast?â?? ____________________________________________________________________________ Neither Tedi for I remembered that this is the wrong motel. The worst thing is that Summer and her family are here too. I guess at our age we should have written it down, but then, what are the chances we would have remembered to look at the note? Four shows this weekend, and all four good judges. This should be a fun weekend, even if we do have to drive a bit more than usual. I stopped posting from the shows for a while. I decided to just attend and see if that was enough to fill my time. I also was thinking that with the streaming video, I was no longer relevant for the Blog at the national. I am back on the computer for the regional shows, we will see how it goes for the national. The day is bright, the weather looks great, my dog is happy, and Tedi and I are ready for another show weekend. After deciding to pull last weekend, and having next weekend off, this is going to be a great day, win or lose. At the end of the day, you can see if I still feel that way. Here we are at the show grounds. It is a bit cold for me, but everyone is laughing. I talked to Paul Root for a minute and I see Bob and Nadine Grady with their sable puppy. I did say hello to Channing, and he is walking a puppy, too young to show. I just found out there is another change, Randy Darnell is replaced by Dalene McIntyre. An interesting change. Bill Basu is working his black dog. Carolyn Martello let us set our tent next to her, even if we havenâ??t won anything for a while. I see that Jennifer is talking to our photographer,, and I asked Roger to get some film of Kirk. We had breakfast with the Khatibs and Summer just came by to see me. And said she is impressed by my typing. Sharron is walking around and talking and I see Karen Taylor with a good looing bitch. Nancy Hubbell is here, her dog is going to be hard to beat. Adam has a new phone. Karen Taylor came by to say hello. I know Twyla is here, but I donâ??t see her. JR came up and is not dressed to show yet, but Zac is ready to go. The Famous Linda Battistoni is here sitting with Rick and Jenetta and I see the Guz talking to everyone. Art Sinclair is ringside and I see Cindy Tellefson. The Sottilles came by to say hello,a nd Dayleen got here and si ready to judge. 6-9 Puppy Dog ENCORE-CANTAR LORIENâ??S HURRICANE Breeder Linda Battistoni, Robert A.
