We are in the novice dog class. Talk about quiet. No one is talking. And, Lana Lee keeps saying no doubling during the individual temperament test. And she repeated it.
She has at least 11 dogs to do. There goes Sally and Paula with Harley. Sally is the co-owner of Harley. There a few people here, but it is getting dark, and it is getting cold. I see Celest hugging Jean Whalen.
The One and Only is doing individuals. I got to talk to Carlos Navara, and he is standing with Dave Rinke and Jimmie. Jimmie pointed out that we could not do the classes tomorrow when Cappy is up to it. So, we went down the voting list, and figured out who is not entered, who does not co-own anything and who was the first eligible person, and that was Lana Lee.
Now they are trying to figure out if Cappy can return to finish tomorrow. I think she will be fine, but her health is not worth judging a dog show. With Trish in the hospital and Cappy exhausted, we need to know that our workers and friends are safe.
Only two more dogs for the individuals, and then to the judging. Carolyn Martello is here and everyone is looking tired. It is almost seven and two classes to go.
This is a day that will live on in infamy.
More individuals, not excitement. Last one in the ring, Mike. I feel like this day will never end, then again, I am afraid it will. So many people gone, and we finally got a response from the AKC, that if Cappy can do it, she can continue tomorrow. We will announce that, since everyone will leave before the amateur handler class.
We are lucky to have Lana Lee to step in. She always does a good job and will do so today.
She splits the class and there go the first seven. Now the next group of six. Now the first group again. I think this was the largest class of the day. In Amateur there are three bitches and one male. Lanna laughs when someone starts to applaud. She walks down the line. Another pass.
As long as we get out here by midnight. She is pulling then and takes five out. Now there are eight. They haven't been changed as to position. So there is more to go. Lana looks them over and stands with her hands behind her back. She walks to the front and does down and back.
Now out in front. I just don't care. She pulls some and puts in order The four she wants and takes the othr four around. Dumps two from the end, and sends them out of the ring,a nd takes around her last five.
First was Paravel's I Want You To Want me, Second was Rising Sun Bunker, third was Tacora's Dance One More Time and fourth is Woodside's Gambino.
Sorry for not more information but I am exhausted.
