READ ALL ABOUT IT! Kat and Ludwig!

Hi everybody, This is not pug stuff, but that is what General Banter is. HA! Seven months ago, (for those who didn't know this) I was given the chance to follow a dream I have had since I was a child. Never thought this would come to pass. I got my first show dog. He is a Jap. Chin. His name is SenHi-Moonlight Sonata (call name Ludwig). We have been working very hard to prepare for our first show. That day came yesterday, at the Japanese Chin Specialty show, at Purina Farms, Gray Summit, Mo. We were accompanied by two of the most awesome angels God could send to watch over us, My breeder, and friend Carol Bridgeman, and my friend Julie Grawe. We intered the 10am Sweepstakes showed to judge Lisa White, for 6-9mo. class and took SECOND PLACE. We also intered the Regional show to judge Dr. Gail Forsythe, for 6-9mo. class, and ARE YOU READY???? We took FIRST PLACE!!! I almost P----------d My, sorry, you get the picture. LOL! What a way to start showing. Both judges as we left the ring with our winning ribbon remarked how they loved my puppy. As will as many other people outside the ring. Some saying, "We were wondering who the new kids were". Ludwig showed wonderful. Did everything perfect. Pictures with the judge for 1st place are ordered. When they come in I WILL be posting.

CONGRATULATIONS, Kat & Ludwig!!! I know you have waited a long time for this ... Hopefully we will get to meet Ludwig in September at the Quincy Pug Meetup! He can be an "honorary pug" for the day!

Thank you all so much. I am very very proud. Little Dude really showed his stuff. Had great stacking on the floor as well as the table. There were lots of puppies there and many were really scared in the ring. Poor darlings. But not Ludwig. He was ready. Before he was even born, Carol had told me she would not send me in the ring but with the best. And she really came through. I really wanted her and Julie to be proud of us, and they both were. We will be off again, back to Purina Farms this coming weekend for our first All Breed Show. Showing both Saturday and on Sunday. So we are resting up. As soon as the pictures arrive by mail from the show photographer, I will post them. I hope that is soon.

Rosie is doin just fine. Her eyes are looking beautiful again. She her happy little puggy self. But has really poored it on with her Dad. He is spoiling her rotten. Teehee. She was really glad to see us walk in the door last night. It wasn't a good drive down to the show. It was raining so hard we had hard time driving. Same coming home. It poored! I got lots and lots of kisses from her. I was happy to see her as well. She sleeped very close, tucked up to my back last night. I think making sure, I didn't leave again.
