Greetings from Pennsylvania, as we wind up the last leg of a very wet, cold, windy and successful Montgomery county weekend. Despite inches of rain and mud up to their knees, we’ll be bringing home new American Champion Minuteman Up With The Birds, and some nice wins for his older brother and sister, AmCanCh.Minuteman Justified and AmCanCh.Minuteman Sweet Justice.

The view from inside, and outside, our grooming tent on Friday. The Saturday show was cancelled outright.

I’ll be on the road tomorrow evening and blogging should return to normal by the middle of the week. Thanks to all the guest bloggers for helping out!

Congratulations! Well done!
Congratulations, Kate! Looking at those photos, though, I have to tell you I wouldn’t send a dog out on a night like this. 🙂
Your a trouper, my hat is off to you.
Good show. Have a safe trip home.
Hey Drained Brian, I don’t know about Kate’s dogs, but my Golden’s couldn’t care less about rain or snow. Can’t say the same for us though.

So now I know where that saying comes from”
“Raining cats and dogs!”
Faithfully yours from the ‘wet coast’…
Cheers

Maybe I confused the old saying. Maybe it goes like this…
Sir Lancelot stopped by a monastery on a dark and stormy night to borrow a horse, as his own was exhausted. The abbot told him they had no horses. “May I borrow this Great Dane then?”, asked Lancelot, to which the abbot gently replied, “I wouldn’t send a knight out on a dog like this.”
I’m rooting for minuteman.
Congrats and safe travels. As wel as Lance and the others hold down the fort, I always relish your return.
Just figured it out! Kate, you are living off the avails of prostitution for dogs! Good job.
Congratulations! Have a safe trip home.
It is wet here also, and most likely tomorrow also.
Congratulations Kate.
Safe travels and be well … wherever you are.
