Two shows in one weekend AGAIN!!!!! Saturday

Well we had an interesting day at Carluke open show on Saturday. Marnie was in the Papillon Graduate class and Flame was in Papillon Open. After waiting for the judge to finish the terrier group Marnie was first on the table for the judge, very pleasant woman, gentle but firm with the dogs, she commented on how sweet Marnie was and how she always got "dewy eyed " over Papillons, after going over Marnie she then proceeded to ask "How much are they to Buy?" couldn't believe what I'd heard, thought I was mistaken and asked her to repeat what she had said, she did "How much are they to Buy" I gave her the average price for both buying in England and Scotland . She gave Marnie 1st out of 2 dogs, but I must admit I was not very impressed with her trying to make conversation never mind asking prices for pups. Flame's turn came and true to form the first thing the judge did was to lift her ears up!!!! I did tell her that she was a Papillon but the drop eared variety and she said yes she knew that she was a Phalene as her friend bred them??????????? Flame got placed 2nd out of 2 dogs.
Best of Breed and Toy Group 1 went to Margaret & Brian Cochranes Glenscot Happy Tartan Lad at Cavillion. Well Done.
Not being to busy I was asked to help handle a Schiperke in the AVNSC Utility and got 3rd with Poppy who is two and a half years old and a great natured little lady who likes her sausages. LOL.
Anna and Ruben were entered but didn't go. After losing one of Tootsies puppies at 3 weeks old on Friday Anna was still understandably upset and just not ready to face those ringside friends whom she knew were feeling the loss with her. It is never easy to say goodbye to our friends no matter what age they are. Sleep tight little AJ xxx
