The River City

We started July off in the River City, Huntington, WV.  These are about as local as we can get these days for shows to our house.  It is an hour drive! 

Huntington, WV

Leslie started Friday off by judging Magic Valley KC's match.  She had juniors, sporting, and best adult.  She chose a German Shorthair pointer for her best adult.   It was a fun time!

Then came the busy weekend since Leslie had a lot of dogs and they were commuting rise and shine time was 4:00 AM.  OUCH!

Saturday was what we would like to call a 2nd best day. ;-)

June

Well, the end of June has come and gone and now it is July. I would have updated you guys on whats going on but I have been a bit under the weather but glad to say thanks to Mom doctoring me and going to see Dr. West I'm doing much better.

We packed up and headed to Fishersville, VA the 2nd weekend in June.  Marty picked up his first GCH points as a move up special.  BO won his first point from Bred by.  Matty picked up a BOB but no one else showed up ( he scared them away).  Danny picked up his 2nd Ch defeat and won 2pts.  Yoda picked up a couple of selects.

Leslie and the gang headed to Waynesville, NC and she showed a couple new dogs.  Rifle won a reserve (he is a real nice-goofy boy) Annie picked up a reserve Marty picked up antoher select and CH defeat and Yoda finished his Silver GCH and retired.  I don't know what to do with him now that he is retired.  Mom has a few suprises for him though. ;-)  Oh can't forget Henry went along for this trip and was awarded BOS and a select.  Its nice to get him out every once in awhile.

Then we went to the golden specialties in New Castle.  BO won his class 2 out of the 3 times and Marty made the cut both times shown (not bad for being a baby compared to those other dogs) and Annie and Jerry were there having fun!  BO also finished his RE title in 3 straight tries.

Then on down the road and after some traffic we landed in Waynesburg, PA for 2 days.  Matty picked up a select for 0 points and Danny picked up a select for his 3rd CH defeat and 2pts.  We need to find that boy some majors!

We had the last weekend off which was good because 1. I didn't feel well and 2. It was my birthday!  I'm officially 12 years old now.  They said we would celebrate more when I felt better and I"m telling them now is time to celebrate.

You can find the gang in Huntington, WV this weekend but I'm staying home.  Don't worry they will let me know all the details every evening!
