You know you haven’t been to a dog show lately if…

by Amy D on January 25, 2009

you bump into someone in the bathroom who you’ve known for 7 years and she doesn’t recognize you. I mean, come on……..REALLY? And the worst part is that she admitted it! I mean, I know I’m not out there like I was before kids, but really?

you gripe about the admission price. Six dollars apiece? Seriously? I was actually thinking that we should have brought a puppy so we could say we were exhibitors, but running around after a peeing and pooping pup is NOT my idea of fun without my kids there. And it is against AKC rules to have an unentered dog at a show. Just to let you know. Does everyone follow it? Yeah, of course…..

you don’t know who the dog is in front of you, even when you have had running conversations with its owner, in the recent past, since Polly and her girl whelped on the same day. Sorry, Sue, it was a huge brain fart on my part! I can’t keep my own dogs straight, let alone every one’s kennel in the Northeast like my husband can. I guess I’m just not talented enough even though I am pretty good at laundry! And you thought I was going to write something else…..shame on you!

As you can tell, I’m waaayyyy out of the loop when it comes to this dog show thang. It was very nice to actually go to Queensbury today to see the dogs exhibit. Without my girls. And my mom actually had to get out of bed early and she didn’t complain. My husband and I actually had conversations that weren’t about our kids or dogs, which is amazing! It’s only been a few weeks since this has happened, and it’s quite nice. We went out to lunch with some friends after and had some very interesting conversations. And I got a lead on some decent dog food for a very, I mean VERY, good price, which is exciting for me! So, I hope it works it out! Let’s keep our fingers crossed! And hopefully my eyes won’t swell shut tonight.
