Best of Winners Again!! And Kasey and Karley!

I just want everybody to know that Oscar snores loud and for me who is a very light sleeper, it makes it a bit difficult to get a restful night.  :-)  But more important, Oscar slept well and was looking beautiful on Sunday morning for the 2nd day of the Des Moines Dog Show.  (even if I did have bags under my eyes.  :-)

Here we are consorting with the enemy.  Actually I was just getting to know a gal a little better who was showing against me.  She was from Tulsa and was showing a big brindle female.  We started bright and early at 8:00 a.m. Sunday morning.  I was the first dog in the ring!  No nervous jitters for me today!

I did have a little trouble with Oscar because this judge was really really hands on and Oscar wiggled and wagged and decided he really liked this judge so he had lots of juice this morning!  :-)

Oscar and I won our class and proceeded to the breed class where we would be showing against the brindle female and a big championed male.  Here we are just getting lined up getting ready to get started...

And ultimately, different judge but same results...  We won the best of winners again!  Way to go Oscar.  I was tickled.  Our second day went much smoother than our first just because I decided I was there to have fun and not try to remember to do everything perfectly.  :-)  Oscar did just about wipe me out as we were running around the ring..  That was exciting!  But we kept it together and finished our second show.  Thank goodness I had the magic shoes on.  Yay!

On the way home, Oscar was pretty pooped.  We stopped at Hardee's for lunch.  Oscar and I shared my fries and Hot Ham and Cheese.  It was a beautiful weekend and the drive home was nice.  When we got home I rewarded Oscar by letting him do his favorite thing...  Soaking in his pool...  :-)

We also had other Johnson Ranch winners this weekend!  On Friday night I found out that Kasey had gotten 2nd place on her team in her Cross Country Meet and on Sunday, Karley texted me and told me her Marching Band had won their band competition on Saturday!  Whoop!  Way to go girls!

Well, there's lots of dog shows to choose from in October so wish us luck!  We will be going out somewhere I'm sure!  :-)  Go Oscar!!
