#apologies for gratuitous watermarks but I haven't decided which ones to buy just yet

Spent the weekend at Purina Farms watching my puppy kick ass. Well... He kicked a lot of ass on Saturday, at least.

He won a 4 point major over some incredible competition to become Winners Dog. His puppy antics didn't earn him anything in the final choice of Best of Winners or Breed which, honestly, fair.

No love for him on Sunday. He won his class so I got at least one shiny blue 'first place' ribbon, but the judge was uh... particular towards a certain pro handler showing that day.

Dog shows and politics is something I'm learning about every time he goes to show and it's a WILD and CATTY(and also surprisingly scandalous) world out there between judges, pro handlers, amateur handlers and especially owner handlers. I'm glad I'm not the one taking him into the ring. Maybe once he's finished I might dabble in it for the National Owner Handler Series but... I doubt it.

But as far as the weekend went, a 4 point major over some serious competition? I'm over the fucking moon.
