Open Dogs

I went to buy something for the office kids, and there are very few vendors.  Open dogs are in there now.

Open dogs are going around, and Tedi just got here.  Five in the class. It is hardly worth holding a show with this sort of entry.  The quality is great. 

And Exxon son is in there now, and I am a big fan of that sire. Now the last dog.

They line up and Bob stands back and looks them over and now tells them to take a pass.  He now takes three and is looking at Scott, Liz and Lennie. Bob continues to work those three.  He lines them up in the middle,and that seems to be his final decision, but takes them down and back and then does a final temperament test.  

First now is Levi, then Georgia On My Mind, Third is King Kong, and fourth is Fed Ex.  And last is Diesel.   Someone is going home without a ribbon, and I doubt it will change.  Off they go for maybe the last pass and Bob isn't looking waiting for them to come by him, and he walks over to them and is looking at his first dog, and tales him around by himself, and now the second.  A new procedure.  Each gets a run alone. 

AND THAT IS THE WAY IT IS!
