Judge comment on Molly: a really nice bitch when she gets her head screwed on right (ok, so she’s not real good at giving ears to the judge. Still.)
And on Ell: You certainly wouldn’t mistake her for anything other than a Cardigan (I think that means that she has some breed type). Oh, and something about flying in high winds due to her ears. I was quite pleased with how well Ell showed for me. Paul’s bitch is tough to beat . . . and as her sire is Huxley’s full brother . . . it’s all family, isn’t it. And the other bitch is very pretty and typey and we’ve been going back-and-forth with her.
Pilot was pulled out third in breed, behind Higgins and Slick (Ch Baewyn Telltail Smooth Operator). Not bad for a 2-year-old, especially as he was being so excited to see “his person” (i.e. Mandy) that he wanted to screw his body around to watch her the entire time he was moving.
A funny thing happened back at the motel. I walked Pilot and Molly and put them up in the room and was going back to get Ell . . . who BTW refused to potty in the shavings at the show all day . . . and Keith was down in the potty area with Hannah. Hannah caught sight of me when I first walked out of the door of the lobby and by the time I walked up to her she was all over me. I don’t see Hannah all that often. It’s funny how they remember you and can recognize you a hundred feet away.
Hannah is supposed to make me a girl Captain in a few months. Fingers crossed.
