For those of you in the Memphis, Tenn. area - Spoiled Maltese - the largest maltese dog forum and website

HappyB · 10-06-2005, 10:16 PM

If any of you live close to Memphis, Tennessee, and are interested in going to a good dog show, there is one starting tomorrow (Friday) at the AgriCenter off Germantown Rd. (Shelby Farm Rd area). The Maltese show at ten tomorrow, then sometime around one on Saturday. I'm not sure of the time they show on Sunday.
Also, next weekend, the St. Jude show will be held at the same facility. This is a big fundraiser for St. Jude, and it is also a place where there will be a lof of vendors, so bring plenty of money to shop. I don't have the show times for the Maltese yet, but, hopefully, I'll be close enough to a computer in the next few days to let you know.
And last, but not least, say a prayer for my Andy. He needs six single points to finish his championship. He's been shown four times and has three majors. He was beat last Sunday by my friend's sister with one of her males. At least we kept it in the family.

If any of you get to the show, come over and introduce yourself. I'll be the flunkie helping out with the dogs.

Oh gosh! I'm going to be in Jackson this weekend and all next week. If MK didn't have a biochem and a histo test next week, I'd get her to drive with me to Memphis. Good luck to Andy and you, too!

Hubby will be in Memphis today for a business meeting. If I had known this was going on, I would have taken a "personal" day and gone to the dog show!
SHUCKS!

I can't go on Saturday, and the rest of my October weekends are booked...so that is not an option either...
Good luck to little Andy! Wish I could go!

I sure wish I would have know about this earlier so I could have made advance plans. This would be so much fun. Maybe I can catch the one next weekend. I am going to talk to my husband about it tonight.

Well, I'm home from Memphis, and Andy is now a champion. He got a major yesterday and another today, completing his championship in six shows with five major wins. He's just eleven months old, so he's a little young to start his special career. We will put him in from time to time to give him some ring experience while he matures. I did get one good picture of him yesterday while he was sitting on the table, waiting to go in. I'll post it in the gallery.
We take off from showing from the end of November through the end of January, so I won't start Glory on her career until February or March. The grooming still goes on though.
One nice thing that happened this weekend (other than Andy finishing his championship) is that I got to meet the lady who was stranded in her attic for five days during Katrina. She was there with her friend who was showing. She is a delightful and very brave lady, and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to meet her.
Sorry none of you were in the Memphis area this weekend. I would strongly encourage a visit to the St. Jude show if you can make it, as they have oodles of booths which sell all kinds of products for dogs.

The lady from Katrina that you are talking about....? Is she the one that lost all her furbabies while she waited to be rescued?

I can't even imagine the pain/loss she must feel. Big hugs to her!
