Dave Firtche just got here, and said to say he is handsome, young and vibrant, and one out of three isn’t bad. I am going to ask Dania to discribe what Janie is wearing. I would say it is a pants suit, but some of the jacket reaches the shoes, and it is black and whileit looks great, the top from the hips down is split into four panels, and yet, there seems to be a separate jacket, that ends at the hips, so I am confused. ( According to Dania) She has pants, and like a dress that is divided in four pieces and a jacket and very fluid and gauzy, very elegant. From my view point, she looks fantastic, whatever it is. I also think it must have cost a fortune.
She sends six out, and keeps eight in, and there is Ken Tank with Broken Arrow, The Guz with Brazos, Diane with Harley, a mystery handler with Carribian Studd, Reggie with Escalade, another who remains nameless Lennie with Studd and Olivia with Armegeddon. Everyone wants to know the schedule and no one knows what is the schedule, including me. The Guz is out there now, and Jamie is doing the individual. And there he goes, and the crowd loves Brazos, and it is clear why. Diane is out there now. Paula came by to get her Dual Award button, and Tony has them. Whirlway Oklahoma is next. And now it is Reggie with Escalade - big hunky sable dog. Now it is Lenny with Caribbean Stud and Lenny is putting his fingers to his mouth and shhhin the owners. I loooove Jamie’s outfit (this is Dania)- very elegant, black, sort and flowing - it has panels that allow her lots of freedom to bend and examine the dogs while maintaining the look of a long dressy skirt when standing. Of course it does help that she is thin, willowy and very classy.
I’M BACK. It’s Evan again, sorry. There they go with Ken in front,and then the Guz, Diane. I don’t think anything happened, she moved Lenny to third and Oliva to fourth. And Diane is in BOD. And she takes the last three around, and they don’t look like happy campers, but trying to catch Jamies eye. And YEA Reggie moves to Best of Dump, and the other two go home. Reggie has a sable, and is working his heart out. And they go out and the second group comes in.
There are eight of them led by Christina with U Wish For, then Jeff with Odissey, Mike with Still In The Show, Kent with Bugsey Siegle, Greg with Belle Plaine, Leslie with Crusader, then Tiffany with Ellesar and Alex with O’Thyme. Nancy Harper is here to get some information.
I don’t want to dwell on it, but whatever it is called that Jamie is wearing, it is perfect for the dog show, and would also work for a formal dinner. And, it looks comfortable. No one has mentioned but it has sparkles down the side, and I think it might be a jacket and a coat, but what do I know? I am but a man.
Now Christina is out there for the individual, and now the exciting Down and Back. The One and Only is here with championship pins all over her. It looks like some very successful breeder threw up on her outfit. She does look good, however. Gail Hardcastle came by, and now Mike is in the ring doing the individuals. Linda Bankhead is walking by, and either I am shrinking or she is getting taller and better looking. Mike has a very handsome dog, and what a great head. The crowd does like him, and he moves well. That might be the dog to beat in this group. Kent’s turn to show how good he can go down and back. I live for this part of the show. Candy Espee is here, and I didn’t recognize her with the new hair color, it is natural, I am sure, and she was handling yesterday, I think, but not in the ring today. I did talk for just a minute to Bob Eaton, but he thinks I am too liberal to spend too much time with. He is probably right. Bob Freeny and Richard Sotile are here to figure out what we are going to do with time. Sally is here, and she is having problems with some credit cards. Her stuff is so top quality and she is all but sold out. I am pleased to see that, Sally has let me remain her friend for years.
Leslie is out there, and has her dog stand on a loose lead. The dog not only doesn’t care, but ignores what is going one. A very good looking dog, and great proportions. Fully mature, and looks like a winner. I haven’t seen many of these dogs before, and so it is fun to see them for the first time. I did see Tom Langlitz yesterday, but not today. I did see Scootie yesterday but haven’t found her today, and I will try to find her. Pam Stoesser came by as did Gary Szymzyk, and Jamie continues to do the individuals. Norma is here, and says everything has to be perfect.
She is done with the individuals, and she puts Jeff in front, them Mikey, Kent and Alex. She now has the last three go around, Christine, Greg, and Tiffany. Helen Gleeson just came by. And Jamie looks at them and walks over to them, and talks to Tiffany and Tiffany listens and moves to sixth, (I know she is thrilled) and the last two get to take a rest, and head out of the ring. Now there are six, and there they go, and in the lead is Lenny then Mike, Kent, Leslie, Alex and Tiffany, and they are starting to cut the ring, and it seems reasonable. Jamie goes over to the second one, and puts Mike in front, then Kent, Jeff, Leslie, Alex, and now Tiffany in the rear, and there they go, it’s Mike, Kent, Jeff, and Leslie holding back and Alex, and Tiffany, and she is looking over them and watching Alex, and looks again and walks over, and calls in her other group. Jamie walks to the front, and looks at the other group, and tells them to take a lap, and off they go, with Ken, The Guz, another Olivia and Reggie at the end. Jamie watches them closely, and walks over towards the last few and they run past her. She can’t excuse what she can’t catch.
Jamie now tells Lenny to join the group, and sets the other four aside, and looks at the group with Mike in the lead. Now they take off, maybe for the last time, and it is Mike in front, Kent, Jeff, Leslie Lenny and Tiffany and Leslie gives her a full lead, and snaps it, and the dogs all look good.
Now Jamie goes to the four standing off to the side, and tells them that she loves them, but not today, and they get to go off and dream about the Specials class. Off they go, without Leslie and lenny, but with Mike trying for all he has, then Kent wanting to move up and she walks towards Alex, and she brings the other three into the end, and Leslie looks absolutely thrilled to be in fifth, but she drops the lead and Alex tries to hold onto fourth. Jamie approaches them, and she walks with power, and moves Leslie up to fourth, and puts Kent in front. It isn’t over until the fat lady sings. And, Lennie goes to BOD. She is walking down the line and puts her hands behind her, moves to the center of the ring, and off they go, with Kent in front, Jamie walks towards them, they are all trying as hard as they can and Jamie turns and looks and NO, they stop and she walks towards her group, and she looks at the end ans says something to Tiffany, and walks to the front, and move Mike back in front. The crowd loves it and OFF THEY GO, and the crowd is into it and THAT’S IT! First is Marquis’ Stealin The Show, second is Signature’s Bugsy Siegel, third is Breal’s Homer’s Oddysey, and fourth is Eagle Valley’s Crusader. Now for some other stuff and then on to the Parade of those who can’t get any attention any other way.
