We got back late Sunday night after driving home from the shows in Columbia. It is about an 8 1/2 hour drive for us. We did not pick up any points this weekend, but we had lots of fun seeing friends and seeing some nice dogs compete. Betsy and I took Odin, Bijou and Icy to see what might happen.
Odin showed well both days taking first in his class and getting good looks for winners both days. He had blown his coat just before the show so his lack of coat may have been one reason he did not fare better. He enjoyed the show and showed well.
Bijou was missing her mom and yet looked fabulous all weekend. She is in good coat right now and also got good looks both days. She took first in her class both days and yet always seemed to find just the wrong moment to do something silly in front of the judge. She may have been her own worst enemy.
Icy has never shown better and she won her class on Saturday but the provisional judge that we had on Sunday did not know what to make of her and put her second in her class. Most everyone who watched the class thought differently outside the ring, but....Oh well we were extremely happy with how she showed both days. She just had the wrong judges.
Anyway we had a great time in Missouri and got to enjoy the 78 degree weather on Saturday. I don't think the dogs liked it as much as we did. When we arrived home on Sunday it was in the 20's again with a strong wind. Glad to be home??? Yes.
