Athens, that’s a wrap!! 🐩🏆🎀
Dozer apparently decided he likes collecting blue ribbons because he went 1st in both of his classes again today, 💙🥇followed by Reserve in BOTH! 🤍🥈 At this point, I think he’s just trying to see how many ribbons he can bring home before I run out of wall space. 😂
Our very first show together is officially in the books!! 🥹 We both have some homework before the spring shows. Dozer needs a little more practice free stacking, and I need to learn how to handle my dog without looking like I’m trying to remember 47 instructions while simultaneously remembering how to walk. 🤣 But overall, I couldn’t be happier with our first weekend in the ring together!
HUGE shoutout to my sister, aka my emotional support traveler, professional dog runner, photographer, personal assistant, and occasional keeper of my sanity. 😂👏🏼 She was ON IT this weekend!! I seriously couldn’t have done it without her. These weekends together are always so special, and I’m thankful we get to make these memories together. ❤️
Another HUGE thank you to Kelly Knight for all the constructive feedback, tips, and encouragement on my handling, grooming, and everything in between! I truly appreciate having someone willing to help me learn, improve, and grow! 🥹
And of course, Kim and Chuck, thank you for being our personal cheerleading squad!! 📣😂 We appreciate you both so much, and y’all did an amazing job this weekend too!!
We came, we showed, we learned, we laughed, and I probably overthought just about everything. 🤣 But I would do it all over again!
Until next year, Athens!! 🐩🧡🏆
