The show is starting and there they go into the ring. Debbie is resplendent in white with a lot of glitter stuff, and great shoes. She must have a fortune in diamonds on. The ring is full, and not many people here yet. Tony, Bob and I are here at the announcerâ??s table, and so it is a full house. Rick Oleusky went to get the arena manager to see if they can get me plugged into the outlets, so that I can post from here. We shall see. Debbie just broke up the class and in there are the first five, Liz, Diane Scottie, and Bart. Rick just said they can turn one on, and I will have it in 15 minutes. There they go around. I love the first one, maybe it is just me. She is Tru-Calling, and can move. One of those Snake daughters. These are the Novice bitches. I should have asked for computer access yesterday, but you know how I hate to push. I saw Iliana already, and Terry Howwer is in the ring, and Ann Schultz is standing in front of me. I just asked, and got permission to call Tammy in the ring when Mephistoâ??s stud dog class is all in there. I hope they go for it, but we do have to be careful not to offend anyone. I know how hard it was for her to get here. Kenny Cunningham is staring at the GV trophy. Donna is here talking to Bob and they went to the Texas Road House last night, we went there yesterday, a great steak dinner. I just said hello to Linda Delarso, and I see Dave Coleman is here. Art Sinclair is standing talking to anyone who walks by, and there are maybe 100 people in the stand, but it will pick up. Cindy Bartley is standing next to the table and it is a bit quiet. Liz is in the ring getting an individual, and Bart is next up. Barbara just came by and she is all dressed up. I wonder how may suitcases there are between Barbara and Debbie. Leslie is waiting and must be in one of the other groups. Debbie continues to do the individuals. She is done with the individuals, and they are stacked while Debbie goes to the table. She is looking them over, and goes from the front to the back standing back, and now goes to each one and looks at them as she walks the group. A few more people are filtering in, and Debbie waks back and tells them to go around. She stands in one spot and watches them go past her. She is looking, and now in comes the second group. Paul Root walked by and Bob Grady is in a purple jacket that I would buy in a minute. Dorothy Lynn came by and said I should have been there yesterday. She is going to show in Bred By and looks great. I asked, and she is 73, but looks twenty years younger. Greg is going around and now Kenny goes out with a very dark Bi, Moving Violation. Kerry Sachau is standing in fron of us, Leslie and Donna are talking to me. They are standing with Susie and it is always her fault. Olivia is also there. Sean is wearing a very bland jacket, and looks good in it. I see Fred is here already and I see Dave Rinke talking to Paul Johnson and Bob Eaton. I just got Angela Howels was just talking to me, and we were talking about how great Dallas is doing in producing. I got to talk to Colin yesterday. Now a new group. We have a crowd here now, and there goes Kent into the ring. It is Tiffany, Kent, Art, and two more. I hate it when I canâ??t bring up names. I see Bill Tank watching and no number on his back, so not in this class. Jenn Root is doubling, so she has something in here now, or just liked to ring her bell. Anything is possible. Another trip around. They have two rings, so it isnâ??t that bad. I see Sharon Allbright. And she is talking to the Ring steward Bob, who does look like a big grape. I am jealous. Tiffany is going down and back and she is showing Sparks Fly. That is a nice bitch and will be considered. Debbie is doing a good job, so far, but she has Kent out there now. His bitch doesnâ??t move on the individual. Dan Smith just came by, and is giving Bob a hug. Kent just made a great move. As he came around the ring stewards were standing there, and his dog went behind them and he went in front, and he lifted the lead over their heads. Now Bob is not short, but Kent made it. They both had to comb their hair. I love his bitch, and she sure can move her name is Jolie of Oh-My. Out goes that group and in comes another. In there is Lenny, Ken Bill Basu and Leslie, with Olivia at the end. And there they go. This is the last group, so the double handlers are up and ready. I see Surgio is talking to Ben Bignoria, and Bill Tank is talking to Tiffany. I see more people milling around on the floor, and it is nice that no one is bugging anyone. I see Don Smith got here, and is standing next to me. Bob Dresser left the table to go ring side and talk to Terry Howwer. This is a great seat, it is right as everyone comes in, and so I get to see them before they see me. I do see Rita Standing in the stands, and there are about 400 people here now, getting ready for the rest of the day. I am looking forward to Mephistoâ??s Stud Dog class, and I think I might be allowed to take in one of his champions. At least that was the plan. I just talked to Charley and Kate Mardez, it sure is good to see him. Kathy Potter is talking to Charley now, and we sure are an old group. I see Eddie Troky and she is talking to Terry. And, the dogs keep getting examined and keep going around. Nikki just came in and Will Guerry is in front of me too. Kelly Savales is standing talking to Nancy Godak, and Bob, Tony and I are trying to get names, and between us we seem to get them all Susan, Barbaraâ??s daughter just came by, always the hightlight of the national for me. Jane Kerner is standing next to me, and she has a novice dog, so not this class. There goes Leslie in the ring. Still doing the individuals. And there goes Olivia, so that is the end of the group. They all go out to set them out. Debbie is looking them over. Don Knight came by. They all come back in, and line up as Debbie looks over the line, there are a number of great bitches in there, an she is walking around the line, looking over each one. She is pulling them out, and Mike in front, then Tiffany, Kent, and Art. Now she pulls out Leslie, and tells them to step back. Debbie is taking around those she is not keeping, and looking them over again, she tells the last group to take a pass, and they are starting in the middle of the ring, I think people are getting tired already. She pulls Lenny and Ken out and takes them to place with the happy people. And the rest gets to go home for the day. Now she has nine in there, and they are still in the catalogue order, and she is looking them over. Too many people in front of me, but there they go with Christine in front with All American Joy, and followed by Micky and Tiffany. She moved Art in second and a coupls of other placements. No one is making any noise but there they go with Christine in front and then Art, Leslie and Liz. And she moves Art to the front, and the crowd likes that. He has Start The commotion. And, now she moves the end of the group with Kent in front, and I do like his bitch. Jolie is with Kent. She excused the last two and there are six left. Debbie looks them over and tells them to take them around, and off they go. In front is Art Sinclair, then Christine and Mickie and Leslie, and sjhe looks to the end and is not done yet. Debbie approaches the last two and wants to see them together. That is Kent and Leslie with Liz as well, and they are doing all they can to look good. Debbie approaches and looks them over and she is giving directions and they are stacked as she stares at the bitches. She is looking over Kent and Liz, both nice animals, and the bitches look good too. Everyone is in front of me and she says take them again and this might be it. There they go and she looks and points it off. First is Rivendellâ??s Start The Commotion, Second is Whitsideâ??s All American Joy, third is Ponca Hillâ??s Rhumba of Tantara, and fourth is Jantarâ??s China Lake of Witmer. On to the next class.
