Friday Night!

A busy weekend ahead for the pups, but not before a busy night Friday! Sandy stopped by this afternoon, to see the pups, and offer another opinion on what her picks might be. The pups were a little more cooperative this afternoon than yesterday. The operative word here is little. They would still rather be chewing the chair legs. Sandy helped me with stacking a six week old puppy. Since I am an extremely quick study, within two dogs, I was ready for Westminster. And truthfully, within two dogs, I managed to at least stop the clumsy ham handed approach to table stacking. No small wonder I finished our Mini-Wire Dachshund, with a specialty win to boot. (Shameless brag)

We evaluated fronts and shoulders this evening. Lots of talk about angles. As a matter of fact the entire conversation takes me back to geometry class in grade school. I was ready to dig out the protractor, and start tossing words around like isosceles and acute cotangents to impress the girls. It didn’t work then, and I doubt it would work now.

We took a break from all this to have a couple pizzas, and catch up on things. Sandy is pretty busy with the Animal Inn these days, as Dave is out with his special Apple. Apple is a dog in this case, not fruit. We don’t get much of a chance on Tuesday, as the place is six deep with dogs, kids, parents, trainers, and poop. Let’s not forget the poop.

Linda also stopped by this evening to see the pups. We have been communicating via email for a few weeks, and she was able to come by this evening. It’s always nice to have a new face for the pups to interact with. True to form, they untied her shoe laces, bit her nose, and fell asleep on her legs. Whatever the secret is for this ability to instantly sleep anywhere is, I would love to know.

Tomorrow, we channel Elvis, and we have a few more pictures done!
