Well I had a grand time!

I knew I was missing showing, I just didn't realize how much until I was in the ring this weekend. (How much work it can be helping with multiple dogs and breeds kind of escaped my memory too.

)

Munchee did very well for his first time out and being in that awkward teenage stage both physically and mentally. He's very much like his sire; somewhat serious, gentlemanly, needs to have all "his" people and party where he can see them when traveling in a group. Instead of being in the front and leading the way, we had to get behind my sister and B-I-L and the dolley they were pulling with other dogs in it. Sunday he really had fun, which is most important of all.

Saturday we got out cuted by a Junior handler and her dog. Sunday is a little complicated to explain, but we did "win" the class. My sister had a great weekend and there was a strong family representation in the ring. Saturday Winner's Bitch's sire is Munchee's dad, so his half-sister. Another relative was Winner's Dog that my sister was showing and he finished his championship. Best of Breed was yet another relative. Sunday, a dear friend's girl (no relation this time <g>) was WB. Winner's Dog was a dog my sister bred and Best of Breed was my sister's special again.

Had a nice visit with Pem club members and a fun cookout and visit with Cardigan friends I haven't had a chance to spend time with for some time now.

I came home to find 13 1/2 year old Obie, my heart Pem boy with a hematoma on his ear, so Monday it was off to the vet's with him for surgery. Picked him up yesterday and he's looking pitiful, but doing fine. Have a rescue foster going to his new home tomorrow afternoon and I'm really excited about this special home. This weekend I have "off" and the two following weekends I'm doing rescue booths.

Debbie, in one of those whirlwind modes

Debbie:

It sounds like you had a great time. How old is Munchee? What events did you enter? Glad to hear Obie is doing fine. They sure do look pitiful after surgery.

Deb,

Yes, sounds like a fun weekend, and it would have to be, surrounded by Corgis. Give that old Obie a kiss and hug for me.

And very good news regarding a foster going into a new home; would love to hear the story

Wow Debbie - you are a busy gal!!! Glad you had a good time. Scritches to Obie and the rescue on his way to his new home!!!

Glad you had a good time, Debbie. Sounds like you really enjoy dog shows.

Did you see the Houston dog show on Animal Planet? Part of the Eukanuba Series? A Cardigan named Harry Potter won the herding group. (The Pem named Rue was also really pretty.)

I like Harry Potter - he's been in all the big shows lately!

Sounds like a great weekend! You and your family really kicked butt at the show

When ever you get a chance to slow down you must tell me where to pick up some of those energy pills! lol

CorgiMum · 10-06-2006, 05:42 PM

Sounds like you and Munchee had a fabulous time, and my goodnesss Debbie, where do you get all the energy?

glencorgi · 10-08-2006, 08:59 PM

Munchee and I were only entered in conformation, but one of these days I hope to branch out.

Munchee turned a year this past July. Our next shows will probably be in November near the Charlotte area.

Harry Potter, didn't see that particular show, but have seen him in person a few times - very nice boy.
