Ripple wins a major

I was waiting for a good pic of Ripple showing before posting but they all look goofy (after all, I am in them) so I’m  gonna wing it…

Ripple took a 4-point major at the Plum Creek Dog Show in Denver, CO in February.  This is pretty impressive considering she gets a little overwhelmed in crowds – or, wait, is it me that gets overwhelmed? – whatever, we both overcame our shyness and sauntered to a fun win.  Ripple even had her own cheering crowd; several friends from a local social group were in the bleachers cheering her on.  I think that’s why she won! Seriously.   That and the extra brushings Ripple got from a friend right beforehand.

We enter about 3 shows a year.   So far we’ve never competed against any other female Leos in the local shows, always having to best the boys to get points.  It happens… and at this rate she might get her CH by …oh… 2015? Perhaps?  or perhaps never, which is fine and dandy by me.  .

April follows Ripple

Better than any ol' show pic anyway! Go Ripple!

Ripple remains my wonderful, perfect girly-girl in all things fun.

On to the National Specialty in April – only a few weeks away. Wisconsin here we come!
