Wapakoneta, Ohio
|
| 8:50am |
Met up with Cindy, Tracey and
Millie for the seminar. |
| A female cardinal attempts to
join the seminar. |
|
| 9:20am |
Met Estrelas for the first time! |
| The cardinal really wants into
the seminar. |
|
| 9:35am |
Trash can at the seminar
"christened" by Choupo. |
| 11:20am |
Initial attempts to use hotel
phone to
order pizza are fruitless. |
| 11:40am |
The pizza arrived faster than it
took to order it. Pizza was awesome! |
| Millie stumps Andy by asking for
a serviette. |
|
| Asti joins the seminar. |
|
| We're hoping the cardinal will
not harm herself hitting the window for the third time. |
|
| 2:30pm |
Seminar ends - we learned a lot
about UKC rules and regulations. Denise did a great job! |
| Room 119 is the site of a
mystery - just how did that hole get in the blanket and who shredded
that pillow and headset? |
|
| Spent time outside with everyone
- the weather was gorgeous. |
|
| Tracey and Cindy make a new
friend -- Wigglebutt |
|
| Poop bag supply is exhausted. |
|
| Wind blows potential poop bag
past us - Andy is unable to catch it. |
|
| 4:20pm |
Followed Millie to the
fairgrounds. |
| Hung around trying to help -
feeling a bit unwanted by show people. |
|
| Asti plots to be released from
his crate |
|
| STEP
AWAY FROM THE RUBBER BANDS! Could this have been caused by our comparisons of the bands to gummy worms? |
|
| We get to watch Asti... or is he
watching us? |
|
| We take Asti for a walk. Pooper
scooper tested and found functional. "Is that a Leonberger?" |
|
| Three rings, three ring steward
helpers Whew! Were we ever relieved we could just watch. |
|
| The food truck arrives at the
show. Diesel exhaust is not a very appetizing scent. |
|
| Millie gets a hamburger of
suspicious origins We decline a taste |
|
| 6:10pm |
Show begins. |
| We take Asti for another walk.
"That's a small Leonberger!" |
|
| We wonder if there is a
difference between a good toupee and a bad toupee? |
|
| Ring 3 judge needs a nitro patch current CPR certification might be a good idea |
|
| Many people seem to enjoy
Millie's accent. |
|
| 9:00pm |
Bob Evans has the gall to close
for the night. |
| 9:30pm |
Show ends and we head back to
the hotel |
| Traverse the maze to find the
Texas Roadhouse in Lima |
|
| We can thank the Razzlesnake
Margarita for some excellent "monkey on the Border Collie" impressions. |
|
| 10:30pm |
Dinners arrive |
| Tracey makes the night of the
guy who cooked the steaks (hey, she just complimented his cooking!) |
|
| Find the easier route to return
to the hotel. |
|
| Partake of adult beverages in
Room 119. |
|
| 11:45pm |
Grumble in our room while the old people party and smoke
past midnight two doors down from us.
Start to wonder why we bothered with a non-smoking room. |
| 12:10am |
Old people finally run out of
steam... or else just close the door. |
