It's a week after the Dog Show! Wow has time flown. Maybe you are still recovering from the week. Maybe you have some energy. Think about sending thank you notes! One that can be nice is one to the vet that takes care of your dog. Maybe send a picture of you and the ribbons and or trophies you won. A thank you card can spread some appreciation and kindness.

Fair week is winding down. Here are some more photos from the beginning of the week from the Dog Show

What a great Dog Show! So much fun and hard work. Some wins and some “well we did it!” One day after the show and we are already thinking about next year. I’ll post some photos to cheer everyone on the next few days.

Your dog’s vaccine record. (Phyllis reached out to those that I don’t have yet.)
Bring a water dish for your dog and water for you.

Hello Everyone! The PreFair Mandatory Session at the Judging Pavilion is TODAY! This is mandatory for all those who are going to participate in the show on Tuesday, August 4th.We will meet from 5pm-8:30pm at the Pavilion. We will have some mats on the ground as well as some gates for your dog to become familiar with those pieces of the dog show. We will go over some "mock" obedience and showmanship runs while you are there. There will also be a pre booklet outlining the program that participants can look at to make sure their name and dog's name are spelled correctly as well as make any changes that are necessary. Please make this a priority for you to attend. You all have worked so hard. Please let me know if you have any questions by emailing me at [email protected] or my cell phone 1-715-870-1740. Thank you! Phyllis Smoot
