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.
