Been computerless since Thursday or Friday. Missed Ellen Migliore's Birthday on the 15th. A Belated Happy Birthday, Ellen; hope you had a great day! Quick Brag - In Las Vegas this weekend, Harley, handled by one of his very favorite handlers, Mr. Stephen Cabral, won his 90th and 91st Best of Breed awards; he also achieved the Silver Level on his Grand Championship (subject to AKC Confirmation). He went on to a nice Group II on Saturday, too. Breed and Group judges were, on Saturday, Mrs.Edna K. (Katie) Gammill and on Sunday, Mrs. Terry M. DePietro. I believe Harley to be the 3rd or 4th male GSD to achieve the Silver level GCH. Capi and Zeus are ahead of him and Payday was 1 shy as Harley was 4 shy, so I will await the AKC announcement to see where he came in. All in all, I am pretty darned proud of him, yet again!! Went to a great show at the Mirage on Saturday night. Played a bit of Black Jack (to my advantage), ate well, drank well, bet on some ball games, some successfully and some not so (DARNED TIGERS!!). Ran into several friends whom I had not seen in some time, so that in itself was delightful. It was a great weekend, with wonderful friends, in a really fun location. And people wonder WHY we do this???? :-) :-) Paula, 359 days and counting Home of BIS, BISS, Multi-Group Winning, AKC JAM/AOE, Intern'l & Am CH, Silver Grand Champion Asgard Harley Davidson, HT, PT, CGC, TC, HIC, OFA CHIC #64047 (Hips, Elbows, Cardiac, & Thyroid),.1st male GSD Grand Champion. 2010 #1 GSD in California, Lifetime #1 GSD in Michigan, 2010 #1 GSD male in USA (AKC GCH Stats), 2011 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show Invitee. 2010-2011-Lifetime AKC Eukanuba invitee. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
