Weather has been a mix of good and ugly.
Photographs are few and far between, the light in the Ballroom is hideous even under the best circumstances.
Doc has been fabulous. Thursday he won 2nd place in 9-12 puppydog Sweeps, and Friday he won 2ndplace in 9-12 puppydogs, both times handled by Lisa Leffingwell, his breeder.
He was so good. I was blown away.
Doc in Sweeps. The camera seemed to be shakey...
Couldn't have been my nerves.
I did get some decent shots of Lynn Sharkey's dog in Agility-- about the only good shots I have for the entire weekend:
What has BabyDoc learned from this experience?
1. Some bitches smell better than others and it is a smell he knows he should understand because it makes his teeth chatter,
but he cannot quite make out what it is. The Big Males seem quite agitated about this smell.
He is hoping someone will explain it to him.
2. Despite his age (9mos) he is really a BIG BOY and can be relied upon to protect me when someone walks past in the hallways. No more of the excited puppy yaps, these are BIGBOY barks.
3. There is some reason that BIGBOYS lift their legs. He is not sure why they do this or what the benefit is, but apparently in order to be a BIGBOY he has to do it, too, so he does. He is a little rocky but knows that soon he will be lifting with the best of them.
4. Draggin MomPerson and her cane down the stairs is frowned upon.
5.Laying flat in the elevator does not make it stop and for some reason makes other people in the elevator laugh. No more laying flat trying to make it stop.BIGBOYS stand up and take it.
6.Even though he is now Officially a BIGBOY, there are many males who are definitely BIGGERBOYS, and it is unwise to stare or otherwise seem to be challenging them especially when one comes nose to nose upon opening a door.
