John Ayotte tried to make my text that goes through Zoe to the List to not be garbled. Evidently he can’t change what I am doing, so I am posting it both to the List and the Blog. It only takes me a minute, and takes away the challenge of reading it off the List. I do notice it is going directly to the Blog as soon as I post it, so we should thank Zoe for all the hard work to make it available.
I was talking to Terry Kriedler, and she is talking to me about dogs. Tammi has a new hair cut, and has Medusa with her, and Rick is hugging her now. Tami also has Bumble Bee, and the two dogs are up here in the booth with us. Tedi is talking to Martha Rinke, I just know they are talking about me. Boy, the crowd likes the bitch that just went around, it is Ruubasse. Tammi is here and talking about her condition. Karen Taylor came by for a howdy, and everyone is sitting quietly waiting for the fun to begin. I see Kathy Potter and she is smiling os either she doesn’t have a bitch in, or she looks good. I doe see George in the center of the ring. Ed Barrit just said hello to Bob Ghegleri, and Bob is nervous, Show Off is in the ring. I am a big fan of that bitch, even if she is a George daughter. We finally got hold of Jack Newton. He is a happy camper.
They are in the ring doing the judging thing while the rest of us are talking. They ahve opened the ring, and it is a long trip around it. Now the second group, and Dan pulls Diane Brown and puts her in third, and Ken Tank with Showoff is in front. I do like that bitch. Dan takes them around and now he wants his other group, with George in front. There they go, and I doubt any of those bitches will beat Showoff, but the one Georgie has is nice, and Dan sends them out. Cool. I have to admit I want Showoff to win, just to watch Bob go nuts. Dan sends that group to stand off to the side, and brings in the next group. Great!
The next group comes in, and it is a group of seven with Lorry in front, then Kent, Patty, Jeff, Scottie, Bill Tank and Mike, with a few others. Art Sinclair and Tedi are here laughing about some of the dogs and how they are nuts, (not spooky) just funny. Cappy came by and she found Gloria’s catalog, evidently it was missing.
More of the same, judging and now Jeff is in the center. I was told he had fallen in the next door area, and sprained his ankle. He looks find, and I hope he is. He has Scheherazade. I see Rita taling to The Guz, and Jerry is sitting in front of us, with his number still on. Tedi is talking to Bob Eaton and they are laughing again, as is Big Dave. They seem to be having more fun than Tony and I sitting in the booth. I hear Rita laughing, that is hard to miss.
Jeff is running just fine, so I guess he is OK. Dan is looking over his group and looking at Jeff’s bitch, and he puts him behind Laurry. (No matter what I do, I can’t spell that name. Scottie is out there iwth Southern Sky, about in the middle of the class. A long way to go, and a short time to get there.
Dan moves Mike to second, and Laurie is still in front. (Spell check let me get by with that spelling). I love Kent’s bitch, and he is currently in fourth, and now fifth as he moves Scottie in fourth. It is Laurie, Mike, Jeff, Scott, and Kent, and some other people. He sets the first four aside, and sends the rest around with Kent in front. It is a bit ring and takes a bit, they are now only half way, and you know how slowly I type. Dan walks over to them and sets the firs three aside, (they got there first) and dismisses the last two when they get to him. And off go the first four. Not much from the crowd, but the bitch in front is a good one, and it is Wings of Gold. Dan looks at the first four and brings Kent from the other group and puts him in fourth, that puts Scottie in fifth, and Dan has them makes another pass. Lots of double handling, (even if it is against the rules), and off they go. Totally loose leads, and Laurie has about 20 feet of lead out there, and Dan sets them aside, and moves over to see the other two. Off they go to try to make the cut, and two nice bitches, but probably not nice enough, and Dan looks away and he walks over to the group and pulls the second from the other group, puts him in fourth and the other one is sixth. Now he takes his last four in this group, and heads them around. Kent is second in this group, and his bitch is looking good. Dan looks at all of them and he moves Kent and the other bitch up and Kent is in BOD and they go to take a rest, and the last group is going to come in.
Dan has two groups of five in reserve, and about to work on his last group. Interesting way to judge and it seems to work. Linda Bankhead just got here, and evidently the airlines lost her bags. Welcome to the National.
Dan’s last group is of ten, with Bill Basu, Art, Reggie, Joanne, Morris, Kenny Cunningham, Olivia and three others. Helen is back and she looks good, and is going to hide out with me. Since I never talk dogs anyway. Big Dave came by and said hello. Cristy Hyman is looking for a lead she lost, and I doubt she will findit, but who knows. Dan continues to judge. Cindi and Helen are talking about how Helen gave Cindi her bird and how it turned out. I remember that so well.
Ginnie Altman came by to say hello, and she is walking by. More judging going on. What a great group we have up here now. Ralph Roberts, Cindi, Helen Franklin and Tony. Ralph is telling Helen what it is like to judge the national, and I am learning a lot. It is fun to listen to these folks.
Scott came in with a different bitch from an earlier group. It is so hard to know what is going on, but they are about done now. Scotty is in with the last bitch in this group. The group individuals is over, and now the hard part. Dan is looking at Scott’s bitch and he leaves her at the end, and he moves to the front of the group, and Bill is still there, and dan is looking for his placings. He stands with his hands behind him, and moves them aside, and tells the first four to stand back and takes the last six around. And they get set aside, and in come the rest of them.
Now the hard work begins. It looks like three groups, one of five, one of four and one of five. Or something like that. Dan has them set in three locations,a nd they are changing some bibs off Kenny Cunningham, and I think they got a new handler, and now there are 13 and they set them up. The first group is Bill Basu, Joann, Reggie, and Olivia, the second goupt is Ken Tank, and Ken goes to the front and I can’t type fast enough. Second is Laurie, then Bill Basu, and Dan is looking and brings Mikey up to fourth, and he goes to the first group again, and brings up Joanne, and then back to look at the three groups, andhe has five keepers and he sets them aside and tells the others, eight of them, to got together. Dan takes the first four of the dumpers around, and there they go. Dan looks at thewm and he sends the first one over and sets Olivia, JR and Diane aside, and looks at the last four with Christina in front, with a very nice bitch. Then Jeff, and another with kent in back. Dan goes up to them and he looks at them all and he sends the last two to the keepers and looks at the five he has left. There go the good ones.
Ken is in front, the Laurie, Bill Basu and Mike. Showoff looks great and he moves Bill Basu in Second and Laurie stays in third, and Ken is nervous and Showoff is looking great. Dan moves to the rest of the group and tells the first four, to stand aside. I am getting excited and there goes the second group four, with Joanne, then two more with Kent in last. I am watching Showoff and Ken is doing all he can to make her look as good as she is, and Joanne goes to third and Kent to BOD and Dan watches them and everyone is posing as best they can and Dan has his hands behind him and he sets the last five aside and looks at the first three, Ken Tank, Bill Basu, and Joanne. And there they go. And Showoff is on, and doing what she does best, and moves as good as she can, Bill has a black in second and then Joaanne, and Dan talks to them, and thank god, sends them to the wall, and takes his last five around. There they go, and those are nice bitches. Dan is doing a great job, and the best is left, and the best have been to the front in every class. DON’T CHANGE THE FIRST BITCH DAN!
Now Dan takes the first one down and back. I know her well, she looks good but not perfect, and the black goes down and back and Dan says he can’t see her, so he wants her in a different direction. And Dan moves her up front. Now Joanne, and she takes her down and back and she moves to second. I think Showoff is out of the running. Now he looks at the first four, Bill Joanne, Ken and Laurie. THAT’S IT.
First is Mar Haven’ Black Orchid, Second is Liebchen’s Boogie Wonderland, third is Schatzmar’s Showoff, (she is still a great bitch), and fourth is Sunrises Wings Of Gold Firecrest TC. More to come.
