I left the show grounds in Blue Bell, PA at 5pm Eastern on Sunday, and pulled into the driveway here at 7:30pm last night. For our international readers, a map.
It was another successful trip for the Minuteman minis - Ch.Minuteman Toxicology won the MSC of Michigan Specialty and was Award of Merit at Hatboro, while our "Goldikova" daughter, still a puppy, finished her AKC championship title, taking an Award of Merit at the National at Montgomery County Kennel Club to start her "specials" career.
Grand Champion Minuteman Toxicology at Montgomery County.
But there's big pile of laundry, dog bathing, trips to the airport, and of course, paying work on my plate over the next couple of days. And if I'm lucky, more sleep. Thanks again to the crew here who kept the site rolling along in my absence! Normal blogging should resume by the weekend.
Congratulations to you and your dogs for their success.
Congrats and way to go! No speed limits out there?
What, Lance did not do the laundry? Tch, tch.
Anyhow, congratulations. Glad you made it home safely.
Well done Goldikova! Although at home I'm sure you go by Goldy. Kate,I'm glad you have such a pleasurable outlet and the comfort and love of your dogs. The craziness of the world and posting about it is stress making to say the least. You have great courage and I think you are wonderful and really really smart!
Just for some perspective, as the crow flies, Kate drove 1700 miles
That would be like driving London to Moscow.
or London to Ankara, Turkey.
One way.
well done Kate and pooches:-)))

Congrats. Mini-Schnaus aren't Scotties, but are nice dogs ;) Davey says, graurr
Nice picture "driveway here"...perfect Ukrainian flag...
Nice little poochie. But he can't hold a candle to my genuine, one-of-a-kind, Greater Glengarry Moosehound, Jerome.
"Jerome" I says, "Whadaya think about me takin' ya to a doggie parade?"
He just gives me this arrogant, smart-arsed look. He damn-well knows he'd walk away with "best of Breed" every time.
Lots of ribbons make for a less gruelling trip. You must have made a good recovery from your biking mishap this spring! We never got updates.
Deserving congrats!
I'm all healed up from the break. As pelvic fractures go, it was as good as it gets, so once the bone was healed I was back to myself in pretty short order.
Ugliest cat I've ever seen.
Well okay, not the ugliest.

Way to go, Kate and dogs! Glad you've returned, safe, sound and happy. :-)
Congratulations as usual
Congratulations on your win and great dogs

See many deer this year on your drive?
As notable as the show winnings are, I am much more impressed by the return trip stamina you displayed. I could not do it. You are superb. Glad you returned safely.
Congrats!
