At the dog show and a nice (and true) story!
Why are you reporting this puzzle?
The Flowering crabapple trees were in full bloom and had a lovely soft scent.
I watched the Schipperke judging Saturday and really liked the male Skip that won the Best of Breed. I thought he was very nice. At lunch time I happened to sitting at the same table as the Skip and his owner. Mary Ann, the owner, told me that that day was Oliver's 6 month birthday, so it was his first-ever show, and hers, also!
I asked if she was going to show Oliver in the Group, and she said no, because she was afraid of the level of competition from pro handlers in the Group. I somewhat pushed her take her boy in, as it would be good exposure for her and her boy.
When the Group was called into the ring, there she was with Oliver! I was tickled that she'd taken the plunge! After the judge went over all 14 dogs in the Group, she then made a cut, or pulled out the 6 dogs she was considering for final placements, and lo and behold, Mary Ann and Oliver were the final ones pulled into that set of contenders!!
When the dust settled, the judge put Oliver up for the 4th top award in the Group!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a remarkable way to start Oliver's show career!!! I can't tell you how happy I am that I bullied her a bit to go ahead and take the plunge!!!
I just heard from Mary Ann about how it went for her in the Group on Sunday. Sorry to report that Oliver didn't get another placement, but she learned more handling tips and tricks and is gung ho for his next shows. I'm VERY happy for her!!
It's fun to meddle sometimes, especially when it helps someone's dream come true! :o)
