Little Miss Sunshine

Another weekend another dog show. On Saturday Raimi won the points with Best of Winners and is now on 5 points total. Halfway there! We didn't get a chance to go into puppy group because an absolutely gorgeous Irish Wolfhound puppy won 2nd in group along with the puppy group and then went on to win Best Puppy In Show. A nice win for a very nice breed resresentative that does not get recognized much in group.

It's ALWAYS a good idea to watch other breeds when you show and to be able to recognize quality in a dog even if it's not the breed you choose. If you don't know a good dog of another breed then you can't begin to know how to win or why you lost on any given day.

And today ... well, if the judge needed to make it more apparent he didn't like Raimi he would have put out a neon sign! It couldn't have been more obvious he did not like Raimi's type. Every single thing he could put us last in he did and I do believe if he there was a way to make us more last than last he would have. In other words it was a typical dog show.

The perpetrator of this disgust is currently napping on the couch next to me curled into a comfy little ball in his Happy Place. I wouldn't have it any other way.
