I think my dogs really have what it takes to champion by 12 months. I think I have the right amount of determination to do it too, even though I'm such a novice in the ring. We all are, me the pups.. but I really, really, really want to do it. I at least want to try. I'm not rich, I just really want to do it.
I've been trying to study the different judges but it's not like it would stop me from showing. I have to get the confidence anyway and loosing really teaches you something. I try to visualize each step of the way in order to calm my nerves. Arriving early at the shows and running through the routine with the pups has really helped calm me down. Actually, being able to set up with two high energy pups has given me a real boost in confidence.
Shelton is the next show. I reserved camping so that I could be with-in 15 miles of the show ring instead of driving 110 miles from my house each way. At first it was going to be fine, 2 dogs, hair in a bun. Well, I cut my hair and now require a blow dryer and straightener. Hmm.. what am I to do? Also, my housemate is out of town so I have to bring Hank. Hmm.. why does the universe hate me so much?
Well, at least I can get Hank his microchip. They have a vet that can microchip dogs. If I can bring all of my dogs, set them up and do well, or at least get through the show, I will gain a lot of confidence. I think this might be a good thing. It also helps me prepare for California shows since I'm seriously considering camping for them. I even researched the weather from last year to visualize my time there.
What do I do about my hair? Hmm... I should try putting it in curlers and see if that looks cute in a pony. Bleah, I don't want to do a pony tail. I want to look like my hair is nice and prepared.
