I took my vacation day on Friday and spent the day scrubbing Oscar and packing his bag. We left late Friday afternoon for Des Moines. I was super duper excited that I had found a hotel for only $50.00 a night! What a steal! But... Having said that, maybe it wasn't such a good deal. Oscar was expecting the Omaha QWest Center Hilton again so I think he was a little disappointed... It was not very spacious...

And it had a door to the outside world. These always make me a little nervous so after a quick bedbug and spider check, we got ready for bed.
Even though my hotel was not the most fancy... and there were two blood hounds howling 5 doors down, it was only a few miles to the Iowa State Fairgrounds... so the location was good. Saturday morning we headed off to the Fair Grounds ready for our second show.
After Oscar and I got to take a look around, I was starting to get the nervous jitters... It didn't help that there was a professional dog handler there that was determined to tell me how to do everything and that what I was doing was wrong... Right up til I entered the show ring. It really kind of freaked me out so I kind of had a nervous morning. I'm sure he was trying to be helpful but it really just shook me up... But Oscar did great like normal...

Oscar ended up winning "Best of Winners". We were really excited. It was great Oscar did so well considering how nervous I was...
Here's my groomer photographer relaxing after our stressful morning. We sat here and listened to some play by play of the IA vs ISU football game. It was a crazy triple overtime victory for ISU! Whoop!! Whoop!! That night we got to go to Olive Garden. yay! excluding Oscar of course. Then we went back to the hotel and crashed for the night. But not before Oscar and I had a little pep talk session strategizing about our plan of attack for the next morning! :-)
