:Fernando wins Best of Breed!!

Posted: December 13, 2008 | Author: | Filed under: FFT Lhasa Apsos | Tags: | 4 Comments

I am so excited EVEN IF I’M A DAY LATE AND A DOLLAR SHORT!!! I thought Best of Breed judging was at 2:30 PST, not 12:30. Rick and I were out and about. Anxiously awaiting, I realized my cell phone was dead. Never mind that Julie thought I was at home. I phoned to let her know how to contact me, thinking I’d be leaving a message. Instead I learned what the rest of you have known for a bit of time.

FERNANDO WON BEST OF BREED AT THE AKC/EUKANUBA NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW!!!!

Regular groups don’t start until 8:30 MST. Non-Sporting is third, after Best Junior and a bunch of awards. It will be late, but I’ll be waiting! At home. By my land line. Forget dead cell phones. Forget that I go to bed early. I’ll be waiting.

Julie said it’s really hot under the TV lights. Too bad it won’t be broadcasted until January.

Heading for LA!!
Tomorrow Fernando and I fly out to LA for the Eukanuba National.  This is a show where the top dogs are invited to show and 1 of the only shows that offers cash for prizes.  Best in Show will win $50,000!!!  The decision to attend this show did not come easy, as my friends who have had to listen to me debate my chances against my financial situation can attest to.  It came down to that Fernando and I at least deserve to give it a shot!! Fernando has proven himself as a top winning Lhasa from the first time he entered the ring at 7 months old and won a 5point major.  This past summer he was not having a lot of fun showing and I was about to make the decision to retire him but in the last 3 shows  Fernando has turned around and has been showing awesome.  If he can show as well at the Eukanuba as he did at these shows I will be proud of him. I’d appreciate any positive thoughts you can send my way on Saturday, Fernando and I should walk into the ring around 2:30 California time. Even after all this time I still get nervous!!!

I got up early this morning, really early. As the pot was brewing, I quietly entered the library. Rick put up Christmas lights this weekend. The candles in the window were glowing, operating on batteries and light detection. Instead of turning on the desk lights, I plugged in the lights around the window. As the snow continues outside, inside it’s festive!

Yesterday Fernando won Best of Breed and placed 4th in the Group. Rumor was awarded WB and BW for 1 pt. Julie shows them both again today.

Ginny sent this photo of Ethan’s win from several weeks ago…
