Well, it may not be as exciting as winning a Leg Lamp, but our Emma Jolene won BEST IN SHOW this evening at the United Kennel Club Bench Show! There was some stiff competition, but they were youngsters and not all that well behaved.
We got there early because there is MAJOR (award) road construction going on in the TWO Cow Towns I had to drive us through to get there, but we sat in the shade and drank from our water bowls and when they started setting up the show benches Emma SNAPPED TO! I've never seen her do that before, as both Beau and Hallie have shown her and I missed all of that excitement. Emma knew JUST what to do, and how she should stand with 'one paw in each corner on tippy-toes' and her chin and tail held high. It was amazing! I mean, how could she NOT win? :)
So we are, 'Home From The Ball' and all evening chores are done and I even remembered to turn off the water when filling Ithaca's water tank! Emma is now a double winner. She is a Nite Champion for her raccoon hunting skills, and she is now a Bench Champion as she is a perfect example of what a Female Treeing Walker Coon Hound needs to be to represent her breed. I'm just BURSTING, I'm so proud of her!
I'm trying to find a photo of her, but my files are such a mess! Sorry!
Mommy is now having a Martini and calling it a night. See you all on the flip side!
