What a weekend! A thousand miles, 4 show rings, absolutely wonderful ringside neighbors, 4 completely failed advanced nosework legs. Old Friendships bonded tighter than ever. Young friendships strengthened and new friendships planted. All in under 48 hours. Lots of lessons from every angle. Zastava had some important wins this weekend, but just as important was that this was Katyusha's first ever show. She didn't officially participate with a number but I was very proud of her for catching on quickly to how to be ringside politely and she sure enjoyed meeting and loving the show teams that have heard of her. So I share this picture and of course want to display some ribbons, but I hope you all will understand that the dog without them was every bit the winner that the dog with them was this weekend. 15 months ago I thought conformation showing was just silly and wouldn't ever do it. Wow, what life can teach us when we do the unexpected. 
Congratulations on a successful weekend - we count success by how good you feel afterwards no matter how the dogs performed. I do believe that win, lose or draw, doing activities with your dogs brings the bond to heights others don't realize are possible. 
Something to do with putting yourself out there and being vulnerable pushes my limits since I'm pretty much a hermit, but it always makes me feel better in the long run.

Checked the appreciation heart because I completely feel that way but wanted to also be able to hit the agreeCongratulations on a successful weekend - we count success by how good you feel afterwards no matter how the dogs performed.

Air Quality was a real bummer this weekend but we did venture out, yesterday. Doggo's finally got an AM walk (heat and AQI have been preventing our routine strolls) and then Moo got to come to the high school field to watch our friend play in his adult pick-up soccer game. I'm sure his first time on aluminum bleachers but he handled them like a champ! The weather was actually very delightful, as well.
Great post, inspirational to us who sit in the peanut gallery!
She was such a good girl and I was very happy to finally meet her! Of course it was great to see you, meet your friend and her Doberman and have all 5 of ours together in our little group. I never did get a photo of Olive with her ribbons before I gave the flat ones back but here are her group rosettes. She was in the altered classes so it's totally different than @Katyusharockets classes.
That was a lot of fun. It was great to see you and your husband as well and have all the Dobermans together. I regret not taking pictures but I was both very tired and tied up in the events.
Me too but I had the red freight train at the end of the leash that day and I knew the cell was never going to cut it. LOL
