Show and Shine for the weekend

Great big congratulations to MaryEllen and her three GSP bitches, Grace, Cheyenne, and Tessa.
Representing three generations , all three girls were winners at the GSP Nationals this weekend in Calgary.
Grace was awarded the Veterans class as well as Brood Bitch and Get. Her daughter, Cheyenne, finished her CD title with High Scoring German Shorthair Pointer in Novice A obedience as well as being presented with an Award of Merit. Cheyenne's daughter, Tessa went Winners Bitch, Best of Winners, and Best Puppy!! What a fabulous weekend for this team from all of SAWHDA members.
Way to be!

Last day of dog show was fantastic for Carol and Bernese Mt. dogs, Emily and Hank. Emily earned her Rally Advanced title and Hank took second place in his Rally Novice class and now needs one more leg to get his title. So proud of the 2 berners this weekend. Carol thanks Maureen O. for putting the basic training on Hank when she wasn't able to. The combined effort certainly paid off. Good job, girls.

And thank you to Deb, Sharlet, Russell and Marilyn for attending The Thunder in the Valley parade with their dogs. We looked fabulous!!! Very professional appearance. Sharlet led the way right behind the RCMP with Mesa and Ryder. Deb and Walker took one side of the street with Mojo riding in Walker's cart. He did a great job and people were so impressed. RoZe carried a placard in her cart which read, "Canadian Dogs Rock" . The crowd loved it. We were pretty happy with the numbers of people and the positive comments about the dogs. After the parade we headed to Deb's to cool down the dogs and have a bit of lunch and then off to the entertainment. The Chevelles were great and the Dance troupe was energetic and very athletic despite the near +30 weather this year. The Show and Shine was super spectacular with 50 cars or more. Loved the Prowler!! We headed for
Judi and Darryl's for a spaghetti and steak supper and relaxed until 9:00 p.m. after which we
returned to Deb's. We walked to ISS at 10:30 arriving just in time to set up our chairs before the fireworks began. This year it lasted about 20 minutes. No news who the 50/50 draw went to or how much it was worth but my phone didn't ring. What's with that?
Traffic was very heavy and we didn't get home until 2:00 a.m. but we had a blast! Literally.
