    Well I couldn't get back online the rest of the weekend as planned. Thank you Gina for the info post! Yes...I was benched for LONG hours but it was GREAT!
    I got to see Annie and meet Jan..she was totally different then I expected! I for some odd reason pictured her with Dark hair...LOL!
    Dustin handled one of the Gordons for her and she got to meet a new friend in Gordons. Jan was only there for Saturday which is one of our biggest days so I didn't get to chat with her much. We did catch up at the end of the day a little and she told me she had fun.
     
    Yes Lori Bullet is Markie's papa who was also there!!
    The weekend turned out to be a fabulous event for my family, the highlight a great hug from Annie while I was waiting to go in the ring!!!
    So the run down is as follows..I hope I remember it all!
    Markie mad the cut every day as well as Dustin with Rocco

    Our club decorates the benching area and for the second year in a row we won that with a display of old vintage pictures hanging on red & blue poster board with red, white and blue decorations for the history of the breed. It was constructed on PVC pipes 8' in the air and the pictures were strung down the entire benching area on a nylon cord. That too was very exciting!
    I need a good long nap as I work this event from sun up till after sun down and drove each day to transport trophies, food and give aways. We raffled off two crates which took in $620.00 for the AKC/CHF Am Staff advice health fund as well!!!
    Great time seemed to be had by all!

    Markie really seemed to be on his game on Saturday.  I was definitely in heaven with all the Am Staff smooches I was getting.  Of course it was fantastic to see you.  The only bummer for me was looking @ all the venders & not really being able to buy stuff for my SS cuz I have no clue who I'm buying for.  [&o]  I DID find a nice new collar for Grady.  I'll post pictures of Saturday once I get them off my camera.

    OMG!!!! You took pictures!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!
     
    I was soooo busy with everything I didn't even get my camera out of the van! I can't wait to see what you have!
     
    Yes, Markie was on! I couldn't have asked for more out of my boy all weekend...well maybe to have behaved a little better in the group ring on Thursday! LOL!
     
    It was really a fabulous weekend for us

    Glad you did well! It's just so unfair that I didn't get to come. I spent most of Saturday filling in 300 or so little ovals, which was much more exhausting than I could have ever imagined. It also made my wrist hurt more than I could have ever guessed, because it's still hurting today. It would have been much more fun to come there. You should have told me further in advance and I wouldn't have signed up for the tests on Saturday, cause I had plenty of time before I actually needed to do it (I can't believe I didn't procrastinate, but I would have rather procrastinated and seen Markie).
