Princess Crow is in now, and she is a great handler. She won with KALEEF'S PROUD MARY. I don't know if Princess is her real name, but I would love it if it was.
I am sitting with John Bemont and he got Tedi to leave so that is a good thing. We are getting a real drive for the candy. Bob Gish is here talking to Ed Barritt.

They are in there now with nine. Too many for me. Each takes a trip and now the ring steward comes out. Vicki seems to be placing them as they go, or maybe she just put them in order. And she takes them one at a time. Now the individuals. I need a break. One is coming up. I decided to type off line, since my computer is shut off every time someone in the ring makes a phone call. Dave Coleman is here and so is Amy Kaiser. Everyone is so glad to see Dave and his main squeeze. Cheryl Anderson has the largest group of bracelets I have ever seen.
More judging going on, and I will post the winners. I see Nancy Mc Donald is in the ring again.
Evan left to say hi to the crowd (Tony filling in). Vicki lets half the group wait outside the ring and works the first 5. A tenth dog showed up - they haven't finished individuals, so they put her at the end of the line in the second group and continue on. The crowd has gotten quite - everyone is waiting for lunch. There are a lot of young handlers in the ring. Usually, when Evan & I can't remember the handlers names, we blame it on age (or maybe we're going senile). But this year, it is because there are a lot of young new handlers that we don't know by sight. We both agree this is a good thing (but still makes us look bad).
As usual, Evan has brought a lot of chocolate. People keep coming by to say Hi and take a piece of candy. Vicki is finishing the last individual of the second group. One time around as a group; and then she brings the first group back in. She pulls out Kent with Miata an Tequilla Rose. Then she pulls out Ryobi, Blown Away and Mesa Verde with Christy. One more look and she excuses the rest. So down to 5 dogs. Once around as a group; and then she moves Blown Away into second and Mesa Verde into third. One more time around, and that's how they finish. Miata (with Kent), then Blown Away, then Mesa Verde (with Christy) and Tequilla Rose. Now we are going to a lunch break, and will startt back up after lunch with Am Bred Bitches.
Tony did this, so blame him.
