Open Dogs

I have no idea why, but I am getting two of each of my posts.  I don't even want to read them onetime, but I feel I must in case something changes. 
 
There are three people cleaning up the stripe in the ring. I guess  they have to scrub it.  Art Sinclair just came by to sit with us.
 
There are only eight dogs in Open so I expect it won't take long. I see Maryellen Kish is here. I was standing last night with Maryellen, Bob and Jimmie watching the dogs work.  That is a fun group.
 
I see Honor Guard is in Open, and so is Fire Starter of Churpa.  I like Arson, and while I think he will be well received, I doubt anything will beat Honor Guard. Linda Kury is here and Maureen Charlton walked by. Lots of people ignore Bob and me, showing great intelligence. 
 
I have figured out, that if it isn't someone I know well, I don't bring up the election.  In they come. Let's see how many. Rachel, Lindsey, Kent,  two others then Mike. Iliana came by and there goes Celeste. No one has that much energy and look good doing it.
 
Bob lines them up seven pointed East, and now turns them the other way, towards the left.  I do tend to lean more right myself.
 
Life is good Ed just came by.  The Asgard dog is in there with Mike. OK, he is Exxon.  I don't have to repeat how much I like Exxon, what a super dog he is.  I thought Arson finished, but I guess not.  Honor Guard looks great.  This should go fast.
 
There goes Patrick.  And that's the group. A couple of stars and others.  Around they go.  Now Kent with Honor Guard.  Pat Draper is here looking very serious.  There goes Arson. 
 
Now Second Amendment, another Captain America son.  I do like him. I think Arson is going to get a ribbon.  And, Bob takes the dog down and back. Tedi is laughing. Celeste is sitting down in front of us, and turned to wave. I see a lot of tension. they have so many fourth and Fifth, this is the last class animal.  Exxon had a lot of representation.  If you want style, he is a great dog to use.
 
Now the last dog in the class.  I like the small classes.  And then the Big Hurt for most of them.
 
It is hard to keep folks from standing in front of the camera, when they are doubling their dogs. 
 
First Lindsey, then Kent, then Mike and Liz.  That is just who he pulled, and he hasn't placed them yet.  Bob walks to the front, and looks them over and puts Arson in front.  I am grinning from ear to ear. He is such a handsome dog, and a real hunk of a German shepherd and now Liz with Second Amendment, another good looking dog. Now Honor Guard, a real stud of a dog.  I love his first three, but the Exxon dog has my heart.  Linda Bankhead just ccame by.
 
Bob looks at his first four in the middle of the ring and Mike is way out in front.  Bob walks to them again and moves Kent in front, then Liz.  Arson is in third. I think he had his time in the sun.  Arson back to the front.
 
They all line up.  And, yes!
 
First is Arson, Coastline Fire Starter of Cherpa, Exxon to Asgard's Jill, Second was Welove Du Chien's Honor Guard, Third was Kaleef's Kodiak Champeon, and Fourth was Sunrise on Thorton Creek.
 
Of Arson could beat those fantastic dogs, he should have a shot at Winner's Dog.
