Two days of dogs.
Not really what I pictured when people refer to the 'dog days of summer'.
Both the kids are having fun and are doing pretty well.
I suppose the dogs are having fun also: hanging out with their canine buds all day instead of sitting around the house, barking at speed walkers and watching the cat nap.
Here is a pic of 'the bench' where the girls and dogs spend most of their time when they aren't in 'the ring'.
Here are a couple of pictures showing the ribbons they had won on Day 1:
There are more ribbons coming for Day 2 and Day 3, so I'll summarize the results in a few days.
Mikaya has 'qualified' to show at the State Fair in Puyallup, but due to the limited number of spots we aren't sure if she has enough points to rank high enough to make the final list. We'll probably find out Saturday night.
Alexia isn't eligible to show at the State Fair due to her age. Next year she will have that opportunity.
Here are pics of the girls posters, photos and exhibitor info:
So... two days done... two more to go.
Friday the girls will be doing a couple cooking demonstrations (fruit smoothies & blueberry muffins) at the Fair and Saturday is the final awards.
The dogs are done showing so they can resume their normal summer activities.
The dog barn at the fair will be occupied by a whole bunch of different dogs for the next two days, but if you hang around a bit there is a high liklihood that the family will be passing through there sometime.
Otherwise, if you are tired of waiting for them you can go look for my book which is on display in Building D.
I actually won a ribbon... I guess that makes it an OFFICIAL AWARD WINNING BOOK!
Woo Hoo!
Hey kids, I'm famous!
Never mind that it seems to have lost to a patriotic looking birdhouse.
Ignore the fact that it tied with a psychadelic birdhouse for color-blind parakeets.
Next year maybe I'll enter some photographs.
Or maybe some pine cone gnomes.
Glued on a stick.
