I was minding my own business at the Terry-All Show in Colorado this weekend. I had my boy on the grooming table, blowing him dry, prepping him to go back into the ring for Best of Breed after winning WD. Oak Smith walks up to the grooming table (I am fully aware that we will soon be entering the ring with Oak's Champion), and says, "Didn't you know that you can't groom twice in one day!!" As I bend down to turn the blow dryer off and quickly drop the hose from my hand, I am thinking, "I have never heard that rule before, and everyone does it, but I had a Great Pyreenes on one side of me this weekend engulfed in white chalk, and a Golden Retriever on the other side of me with a pink nose hidden under black paint, so maybe he is right, but no one obeys the rules!!! As I stand up, he is wearing a huge grin, as he says, "I may have to find the AKC rep!" And Oak seemed to be such a nice guy! Dog shows are such fun!
