I want to say it was a pleasure to meet you Val! It was nice to meet your
assistant Bethanie, she is great. Thank you for sharing your shade!! I agree
the am futurity was fun to watch and Heather did a great job judging it. I
like the am futurity show. I am trying to get my granddaughter to go stay
with Val for the summer but at 17 she is wanting to spend the summer working
2 jobs to buy a car, her parents told her she had to come up with some of
the money. Go figure. I met some great people, saw some great dogs...I would
love to snag the RWD of the futurity Wyndean's Rafeal De Vici, he was my
favorite, except for my Mac who decided to not show when he was in the ring.
Oh well it didn't matter, it was his first specialty, we mostly show at all
breeds, it was just a fun fun time. I had breakfast Sunday with Bob and
Darlene Ghigleri and Greg E and they were very nice. I met Hazel Parks when
she was rounding up her red sable male pup whom I would also take home!
this is my sec
ond futurity and I hope it is not my last. Oklahoma put on a good show.
Thank you for all your hard work. Val you do a great job competing! You add
a lot to this breed, your herding cllinics, your helping jrs, the good dogs
you have. Thank you too!

What a fun weekend - I left home in flannel lined jeans, my favorite Bogs
caked
n fresh mud, and lined rain jacket on Thursday night and was able to shed my
olorado spring togs for shorts, shades and sandals. Friday morning in
Kansas -
he warm weather was closer at hand. When we pulled into OK City on Friday
fternoon - it was like going on a tropical vacation. Warm, breezy (at home
we
ave wind), and pleasant enough to bathe dogs outside in shorts.
n Friday night - my assistant Bethanie and I ate dinner at a local Italian
estaurant within walking distance of the show site called Portifino's.
xcellent fare and very reasonably priced. The homemade pasta was fabulous!
aturday morning we prepped for the first of the two shows. These shows were
the
irst speciality experience for the 4 girls we brought and for Bethanie. She
is
college student who has been helping me at dog shows for 5 years now, but
ever at a speciality. What a change in mindset. Instead of insisting on
manners
nd no pulling - we are now encouraging rowdy behavior. Both the dogs and
ethanie seemed to enjoy the change in atmosphere.
ad a really great day sitting in the shade and watching the dogs run around
the
ing. Our girls, while not in the money - had a good time being part of the
eople and their enjoyed their chances to show. Special Thanks to Oklahoma
City
nd Tulsa clubs who pitched in to make the exhibitors feel welcomed and well
ed! Lots of food and drink available all day for three days.
aturday night - Bethanie and I tried the Cimarron Steakhouse, located a long
lock from the host hotel. My T-bone was excellent and complete with good
ervice and ambiance.
n Sunday - it was Futurity Day. Bright blue skies and singing birds greeted
the
how site. First off was the Amateur Fut/Mat classes. It is so hard to
compete
gainst the accomplished professional handlers who run their legs off daily
and
as been working with their charges consistently to insure appropriate
ehavior..... but it is also so hard to compete against these jrs. who run
their
egs off daily and work with their dogs consistently..... may have to ask
for
he "over 25 with wild hooligans'" class. I am fortunate to say that after
unning around the ring successfully a few times for the class and then for
the
inals, managing not to fall down or drop the leash, Mrs. Miller pointed to
my
irl: Mar Haven's Evanglina of Terra Norte' for Amateur Best in Futurity.
Thank
ou for seeing Lena's attributes despite my handling and presentation. Also
hank you to Carolyn Martello for sending this black & tan bundle of energy
to
olorado.
pecial kudos to the Southwestern region for taking on the mantel and
offering
he Amateur classes.
The long drive home was much lighter with a big fancy ribbon, beautiful
plaques
nd a good start on my tan ......
