Della's first show adventure

[JanS]

I thought I'd start a thread now and just update it as we go.

We got here yesterday and at first she was scared to death of all of the new things, and it didn't help that the hotel stairs are the open back ones which she's never seen before. After the first time going up, she's doing great now, and also getting very used to being here and is much calmer today.

We went to the show last night just to let her get used to the sights and sounds while they were doing rally. Again, she was nervous, but started getting used to it before we left. Everyone there is so friendly too so that helps me as well.
We met Poppy, Mack, Lacy and Poppy's little girl and Mack & Lacy are even more beautiful in person. Poppy's little girl is just a doll too, as many of you have already seen in her photos.

How cute is this?


Poppy and Lacy in rally - very impressive!


Della practicing stacking on the bed.


And finally settling in with the new chick I bought her just for the trip.


Today is our first day of showing, so I'll update later. My card reader went on the fritz, but I realized there's a built in one on the laptop so I can post a few pics. Duh... LOL

Good luck to you guys!
I love the last pic of Della. It looks likes she is saying "Mom, what in the world have you done to me?All this new stuff in one day, really?"

what kind of show, a rally show?? Yea, it helps to take them there early to condition them to the noises. Lucky all my guys are used to it from being dragged to shows their entire life, lol

Well, we did okay, and Della did very nicely on her pacing (judges even told me that), but when it came to stacking, she forgot everything we've been working for weeks and wanted to sit if I tried to do a hand stack. :shakinghead: By the second and third time in the ring she was doing better (or maybe I should say I was ). She placed very well, but there was very little competition in the altered class. Poppy had a lot of competition in the regular classes but they did great.

Here are Della's accomplishments for the day and she's one wiped out little girl. At least we got reserve altered BOS, so we're happy with that for her first time out.



Thanks for the well wishes everyone!

Thanks for the shout out and the pictures! I just love the picture of Della all cuddled in bed with her ribbons! So adorable! And Della is such a sweet girl, with all her kisses!
