Best of Show

Lindsey and I volunteered as stewards at an obedience show this past weekend. It was our first foray into the dog show world.

We donned our "Wal-mart greeter" vests, and set to work. My ring had novice, utility and veterans' competitions.

It was a blast, but we both learned something:

1. Don't bend over in old britches (Lindsey).
2. Be ready to grab the dog that bolts from the ring (Kathy).

Together, we learned that some folks have a great time with their animals, and some take it entirely too seriously. We hope to show Gumbo and Roux in obedience and agility at some point, but I think we'll keep a copy of the movie "Best of Show" around just to keep us grounded. I mean, people who have a dog weblog might just take it a little too seriously....
