well, 28 hours later (we will never do that again!) and a good night's sleep (finally!) things are back to normal. It was so great to see all my kids again. Now off to the vet to get my Ranger (the stray that has adopted us).

So.. many accolades!!!
*show committee- GREAT SHOW!!!
*show hotel- GREAT PLACE!!! GREAT STAFF! What a gorgeous venue!
*Spokane WA-INCREDIBLE PLACE! I only heard about the great food, never once did I hear that anyone had a lousy meal..anywhere! The scenery driving there was amazing.
*all the winners-WAY TO GO!!

All our friends, old and new.. Thank you! The shower was fabulous!! I was so surprised!
And for everyone who had nice things to say about our POOCH.. thanks again!! We always thought she was special, but to hear it back from so many people was a wonderful feeling! I don't think I have ever owned a dog that appeared to catch so many hearts all in one place.
It was a dream week. We wish we could have stayed and watched the last show, but congratulations to the winners! I am not 100% clear on who won, but if I have my info right, a VERY impressive group!!
