I went to an All Breed show today. No gsd's entered in breed as I predicted, they were all at the Specialty in Michigan. I went for the first time in Open Senior and it wasn't the best day for either Ginger and I. Ginger really wanted to sniff at the grass (first time at a show in grass) so basically she kept stopping. Then the judge took us two (ten OS in the class) and had us free stack the dog. I was third and didn't her the directions so when she told me I was already pretty disorianted. Ginger just didn't want to show for me today. I was disapointed, but there's many more show and they must go on. So I'll keep my head up high and hope for the best next weekend. That's not it thought it was pretty hot and I wanted to put ginger back in the car but we didn't bring her crate so I told my mom lets just leave the air condtioning on and sure enough the battery died. Thank goodness I saw some people from my confirmation class that had jumper cables. I got a nice sun burn too followed by rain, when we had the windows open, so my mom had to go run back to the car which was a far way away to close the windows while I had to run ring side to g et the chairs.So then we had to go in to the indoor ring area. Something funny though I didn't have such a bad time either. I wish I would have placed in juniors, but that'll happen. It just didn't happen today. <3Melissa Chavez<3 (AKA Miss Jr Handler) ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
