Hello Folks
So a few thank you's need to go out, first thank-you to my hubby, who took friday and monday off work to hold down the farm, and make sure that I feel that I can go off to the show with my dogs! A huge thank-you to Scott/Laura for their hard work with regards to booth bunny duty and help thoughtout the weekend in many ways, plus it was lovely to get to have a good visit and for our nice dinner out together on Sunday evening.
A big thanks to my handler Linda Thompson, who got to meet Freyja or Fray-Fray for the first time, and who was very surprised to find out that she was a black tri, was expecting that it was a chincilla, but fell in love with her.. and was very pleased with in the show rings. Can't wait to see what she thinks of Zander now that he has another year to mature, she loved his brother last year but felt that Zander needed at least another year to mature, so he comes out this year, and I think that the black tri pair, one med and one long should just be stunning together.
So it was a long drive down, taking just over ten hours on Friday, but I took the express route home(paid toll road) and was it worth it, getting home in just over eight hours.. The show itself was lovely, the flowers were stunning and the plush red carpet in the rings just added to the show. It was so nice to see the ladies and gents all dressed up in their suits and dressed on Saturday evening but it sure was a long day, I was up at 6 am and at the show by 8 am and we did even get into group saturday night till after 9 pm, so a very long day for a young pup, and then there was a nice wine an cheese gathering after the best in show, then back to bed and the rings started again at 8am the next day, thankfully the Icelandics were not in that early, and so I was able to get to the show by 10am to start running the breed booth. Scott and Laura were driving back and forth, so they got in closer to noon on sunday an after that late of night and drive, who could blame them for getting a bit more sleep in the morning, plus I was only ten min away, so it made alot more sense for me to get there early and give them a bit more sleep time.
There were many folks that remembered us from last year, and came to say hello, and there for even more that had read about the breed but never meet them in person before that were interested in learning more.
The color photos were a hit, and it was great that we were also able to show colored photos of the breed faults for everyone to be able to learn them right from the start.
Everyone have a great day, just doing some laundry catchup from the weekend, and will start training and prep work for the next show in April.
