My annual outing to Bainbridge

Editor’s Note: Finally! Pictures are up, what a pain in the beehind!!!

Yesterday was my annual outing to the “Nango Circuit” dog show. Yes, show is singular. Not sure I could endure back to back dog shows right now with my kid and puppies and, well, just life in general. The weather started off crappy. It was damp and foggy when we got on the road. Brenna was actually wearing a jacket and had a blanket in the car. We set off at 6:30 am, Brenna in the back with Greta in her crate. Donna took Brogan and Tajjee in her van. One stop at Dunkin Donuts and a couple of Barenaked Ladies’ albums later on the Zune, we arrived in Bainbridge along with the sunshine!

We parked next to Marian’s rig and she was still in the ring with a Newf. So we went to the porta potty (those things have got to be the biggest health hazard on this earth!) and stopped by to see our friend, Sandy, who is the owner of Bretana’s. Amanda and Brian were next to her. Their dog, Argus (sorry, don’t know the whole registered name, but know it contains Mr. Universe), finished the day before which is very exciting. We talked for a bit, Brenna whined a bit, life was good. And finally, Marian, arrived and saw the puppies for the first time ever! She really likes Greta, and she does like Brogan, but she said he’s fat. Which we knew.

Judging was at 10am. Sorry, peoples, but I don’t have the full list of results here. My mind is not as good as Matt’s. And I don’t see these dogs often enough to say who owns what dog. I can hardly keep track of my own sometimes! But, the Nosiglia’s bitch, Xana or is it Zana?, went Breed, and Argus went Best of Opposite over some Specials, which is very exciting by the way! They had a great weekend. Sandy’s boy, Striker, went Winner’s Dog and that’s pretty much where I can’t remember anything else. I can start dropping names of the owners, like Doug and Mary Fisher’s bitch went Best of Winners, but it probably doesn’t mean much to most of you. Does it? Or does it not?

Here are some pictures from the show.

This is Sandy’s dog, Striker.

This is the aunt to Brogan and Greta, Duncan’t sister, Diva. She is owned and loved by Marian McShane of Marianette’s Saints.

This is Amanda and Brian’s dog, Argus, a new Champion!

Rosie, a class bitch, owned by Bill and Laura Gordon. Sorry about that pole Bill!

And what would this blog be without a stupid face from my oldest? I’m not sure if she was trying to catch flies, disagreeing with the Judge, or hamming it up for her mom on the opposite side of the ring. The world will never know!
