    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!

    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>

    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.

    My King Charles Spaniel was 16 when he died and I still think he left way too soon. He was really good dog. Thanks for posting that.

    @Basenjimamma: …Oh, I want one of those generators too..they are just so darn expensive..We need them down here too, if we have a storm, our neighborhood of 25 or so homes are one of the last on the list to get our power back..it sucks.. We do have a generator that is large enough to either run the fridge and a few lamps, OR our waterpump..so you have to pick your battles when the electricity goes.. Yeah, see my problem is I want the whole house automatically on when the power goes out - gone are the days when I find it an adventure! As it is, I've compromised and were only doing the first floor (including all kitchen, laundry, office, bedrooms, bath, basement - furnace, well/water) and the only thing on the 2nd floor will be the bathroom. During the ice storm last winter we lost power for 4 days. During the ice storm of 98 (?) we lost power for 17days - CNN was filming right in front of our house. :eek:

    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. :)

    I've been trying to do that…it's not as easy to reach the distinctive landmarks with a semi as with other vehicles, including RV's. All the really cool places have signs up that say "No Trucks" and it really bums me out. I understand, though, because there are so many truck drivers who just throw their trash where ever they want instead of find a garbage can. And they pee on the ground rather than expend the extra energy to walk 75 feet into the bathroom. Trucker areas reek to an eye-watering level in hot areas because of this. But I do try to find distinctive landmarks when I can...the little lake in Minnesota, the rock formation in Colorado, coastal trees in North Carolina.... I will try to find more landmarks I can access.
