Chow Down
“While I was there I’d also be helping Bertie with the three Poodles she was going to be handling. Nobody gets a free ride around here.
The show was outdoors, held on the polo grounds in Farmington, Connecticut. Luckily we got perfect weather for the event: warm, sunny, and not too humid. One thing about dog shows; nothing short of an oncoming tornado will shut one down. Over the years, I’ve shown through high winds, unexpected sleet, and near-flood conditions. A perfect dog show day is a rarity..., and it was more than enough to put all of us in a good mood.
“All” referred to Sam and me, Aunt Peg, Bertie, and Maggie. Davey was with his father for the weekend, and Frank was tending to business at The Bean Counter. There was no way, however, that Bertie could give a string of a dozen dogs the professional handling job they deserved and take care of a six-month-old baby at the same time. That was where Aunt Peg came in. She had volunteered to baby-sit.
Even if I hadn’t had other reasons for being at the show, I’d have come just to watch that.MoreLess
