Going to National's with Wheat

Off Topic
  • If only…....... (sigh)

  • My dream is to fly to England and see all the wonderful b's you have there…so, maybe one day.

  • Does anyone know what the temps/weather is we will be having?

  • Don't worry, Petra. I'll take plenty of pictures of Ms. Wheat for you. :) I will have my camera in hand the entire National (well, except when I'm in the show ring :) ) So I'll make sure and take some pictures if I cross her and Sharron's path.

  • Nemo, if you come by to watch the africans, we can meet and greet. I will take advantage of your kind offer to take photos and share them.
    Again, I will be bringing my own chair and on the back of it, it says basenji rescue.
    Laugh, I bet there is only one chair like that in the whole place.
    A friend posted that the temps will be in the 80's. so the b's will be happy and I will be looking for shade!

    Just remember, don't hand the camera to me. :)

    Today around 1130a it was 88 in Co Springs as I was out and about. But this is Colorado, so just to be safe, bring all of your clothes as it might be in the 90's or it might snow, or it might do both in during the week. It's best to be prepared. <gg>Okay, probably NOT any snow, but it may be chilly in the evenings, so bring a light sweater (jumper if you're coming from the other side of the pond) or jacket (heavier if you're from Floridia) and mostly summer clothes and you should be fine. Otherwise, you can always go shopping.</gg>

    Luckily your mom is there too. :)

  • Well, I just was informed by my travel friend Lisa, I will be "showing" Wheat, when Lisa shows her red girl.GROAN! I love watching this..but heavens…I am not into showing and Wheat hasn't be trained to being. show..sooooooo
    It will be a good grin for all who wish to watch.
    What the heck....my girl is wonderful...just look at her and not at me!!!

  • Oh, you'll be fine. And everyone will be rooting for you. The stock exhibition is more laid back from my impression last year. Plus a number of the imports I've seen aren't that fond of being shown or don't have that much experience so the owners don't seem to worry about it too much and just try to make it pleasant for the dog.

  • Sharron, I know you have it in you! You and Miss Wheat will draw the most clapping, I am sure of it!

    I don't know of any Rita Jean. Mine was born Christmas Day which makes it easy to remember.

    We were in Ohio when I wrote it. Ohio was admitted to the Union on March 1, 1803, but Congress apparently forgot to vote on the resolution. It was finally rectified on August 7, 1953, which technically makes Ohio the 47th state. However, it is counted as the 17th because it wasn't Ohioans who created the problem. Who says our Federal government isn't efficient? Zanesville, OH is the location of the Y Bridge, which starts and ends on the same side of the river. But that's where we were. The wolverine is the official state animal and nickname of the state. Fur trappers from Canada brought pelts across the state and folks further south assumed (there's that word again) the pelts were trapped in Michigan. The Detroit Red Wings assembled the Russian Five, who propelled the Hockey team to the Stanley Cup in 1997. Within a few days of the win, one of the team members was permanently benched in an auto accident, but the remaining four were instrumental in the 1998 and 2002 Stanley Cup wins for the Red Wings. We will be in Grand Rapids, MI tomorrow morning. Ms. Basenjimamma: The temperature here right now is 51F. :)
