I cannot believe how quickly this year is going by! Guess that’s one of the “benefits” of getting older….hmmm<\/p>\n
The Kennel club had an event last weekend for Responsible Dog Owner day. Last year’s was a huge success and we were awarded a $1000 from AKC for it. This year was dismal. We did all the right “stuff” as far as preparation and getting people to do demos and set up\/tear down, but we were asked to have it in conjunction with an event the Parks and Recreation was having at the water park called “Waggin’ at the Water Park” and they put us on this soccer field that was above and behind the water park. We had maybe a dozen people come up the hill to see what was going on.\u00c2\u00a0 Needless to say we didn’t get much of our message out. I hope next year we elect to do another stand-alone event.<\/p>\n
This weekend is the Southern Specialty in Atlanta. This is the first year in many that we aren’t going. But I understand. Nikki isn’t mature enough looking and Oscar just doesn’t have what it takes, so Ken didn’t want to go. Maybe next year when Butterfly’s puppies will be ready to make their mark on the world.<\/p>\n
Next weekend are back-to-back matches in Greer put on by\u00c2\u00a0 the Clemson Kennel Club and Greenville Kennel Clubs. I’ve been asked to judge at both matches, so will be busy all day. I asked Ken to come, but don’t know if he will or not.<\/p>\n
Other than that there’s nothing going on for us. We’re just kind of hanging around the house when we’re not working. I guess we need the down time.<\/p>\n
Speaking of down time, I have the next couple of weeks “off” from school. I finished this last class (Public Speaking) with a 97.3 average, so my 4.0 overall average is still going strong. Next class up is Business. Only 8 more classes before I graduate with my Associates of Science degree. That will be in March of next year.Then it will be another year before I have qualified for the BS degree. — I should be a champion already of BS, but there you go…….<\/p>\n
Gotta run! Love to all<\/p>\n
