Colorado Springs

What an adventure we had yesterday. We got up super early, the big guy and me. We were on the road by about 6:30 a.m. and headed south through low clouds and intermitten rain. We stopped only briefly at a good smelling place in a pine forest, then got back in the car for another half hour. We arrived at a parking lot at Colorado Springs where the first guys I saw were Vinnie and Winston. Another dog show!

Only this time, the big guy held my lead as we pranced through the ring. First Winston went, then me, the Vinnie and I think Argyle. Plus my cute little spinone girlfriend dog was there too. Five spinoni! The people called it a major, and I didn't do that good. But it was my first major, but mostly it was the first time the big guy held the lead. So when the judge wanted to check me out, I wanted to sit. Twice. But then I stood, and she said nice things to me, and then we ran around again, all us boy dogs, and then Vinnie won! His first major victory, too.

And then as quick as that, we got back in the car and drove the two hours back to my house and yard, where I spent a lot of the afternoon sleeping in my crate because my girl went dancing and all the people went with her. But Patches came to visit and taunt me through the crate. Woof! But all us dogs went for a nice twilight walk later.
