Dear Diary

This weekend was so great that it deserves a diary entry of its own.  First of all, Victoria faced her arch nemesis in a tennis tournament.....this is a girl who Vic has faced many times but always has lost to in tie breakers.  This weekend, however, was different.  After battling through 3 other matches with relative ease, she faced her adversary once again . This time, however, she made short work out of her, winning 6-3.  This cemented her first place victory in this tennis tournament.

Also this weekend was another dog show for Shine.  This weekend's show was in Belton, and I was all on my own without my mentor there to help me.  I wasn't sure how things were going to go.  We did our usual routine of setting up shop, brushing Shine out, scissoring her to a plush finish and then defied gravity with the hairspray .  Shine was moving great that day! And lo and behold, we took Reserve Winner's Bitch! It was the best moment in my thus far brief dog showing career .  We also got a fancy ribbon like none we have received thus far.  This did much to boost my confidence, and although we did not repeat this on Sunday, I am encouraged for the next show.  Please visit the diary pics to see pictures of this most auspicious weekend!
