Open Dogs

She has divided her class and the first four are in the ring.  They take a lap. Bill Basu came by to talk to us, and is now talking to Mike Mentz.  I see George watching from the double section, and off they go, one at a time.

I plan to go out to dinner with Helen Gleason, not that there is anything important about that, but it should beat the pizza in my room I had last night, but that was fine too.

Now the first group goes to the end of the ring, and Linda takes the last one around. And Linda walks with the dog.

She looks at them lined up, walks to the center of the ring and faces one side while the dogs go past her.  On to her second half.  You know, you can hear certain people, who will remain nameless, (Shaning) laugh from anywhere in the ring. 

Not much excitement, but each little pocket of support is heard, but not much. I like Lenny's dog 2 Fast 2 Furious. I think Linda is concerned with his going away, and has him do it again.  He sure is impressive from the side.  Now Kerytal's Asher V Cherpa.  It isn't the same without Pat and Celeste.  But, puppies do take preference.  Now the Futurity Victor, Dampener.  If I am correct.  He was just visiting with Zoe and Shelia.  He is a worthy dog.  To me, he stands out in this group.

Off they go, one at a time.  Linda watches each dog while walking down the ring.  Now back to  the next. She is getting in her steps today. Now Scott and then Dampener.  the crowd is waking up and there he goes, the crowd does like him.  Linda satys take them around and come back here, loose lead and slow.

Nice dogs in there. Linda puts her hands behind her back and talks to some of the handlers and says take them again, and off they go.  She has both groups in the ring now and is going to work with her first group.  She takes the black down and back from this group. Either she likes him and wants to be sure, but now she takes Welove Willie Nelson don and back, but sets them aside and brings back her her other group.  The second group,  She sets them aside and does some placing, but it is hard to know what she did, I suspect she excused some dogs, and is taking what is left around one at a time.  Six left.  I don't think they are in order yet, but Dampener is in third, so maybe she did.  2 Fast 2 furious if in first for now.

I do find myself drawn to Dampener.  But all of them are good dogs.  

YES Dampener in front.  Now, she takes the rest two at a time.  Now, number one and two, Dampener and 2 Fast 2 Furious.  The Maturity Victor from Canada.  Tampener back in front and I think that is it. YES, 

Number one is Norberge Inertial Dampener of Clayfield, Second is Tazzman's 2 Fast 2 Furious, Third was Ravlez's Lebron V Chablis and Fourth is Krystal's Asher V Cherpa.

Winner's dog coming up.
