Golden Samantha resting her head this morning before a very special event.Below is mom's first photo as we rode towards the Solano County Fairgrounds with our good friends, Golden Samantha and her mom. Sammie had an important competition today with the Santa Cruz Kennel Club. And, mom and I had never been to a dog show before!
In the back...I was ready to PLAY...and mom in her I-worked-kinda-late last night disguise on...
Sammie had an entire set up that we wheeled in.... crates, snacks, chairs, water...
Mom and I cruised around, wow'ed and amazed at this venue, while Sammie and her mom did a little practice before her 4 minute Novice A course.
Lots and lots to look at.
Grooming and more grooming....many elaborate stations...
Some pretty major RV setups too, with big doggie areas. I think I scared all of these pals back into their RV.....(no, not really). They're back there.
Grrrrrrrr....
And, more grooming... How do these pals stand still for SOOOOO LONG!? Very patient.
Beds, bunks, carpets...outdoor rooms.
Double decker on wheels!
This hall was our 'basecamp'. Lots of classes competing. Quite serious. And, I have to say, I did really well at just observing and not flying around to socialize.
Sammie's mom had on the Sammie crew attire....thanks to pals Paco, Milo and Maya.... And, please go visit Paco, he needs some well wishes.
In another building there were other competition categories.... We peeked in.
Loungers...massage....!!
Artsy pals too.
Oh yeah...had to stop here and put on my 'pretty please' face....stood there for a while...
And.....look at all these stuffies!
Back in Sammie's competition hall...still being nice and observing.... And....at this point, my mom became a 'paparazzi' for the competition using Sammie's mom's camera..... Darn, no photos here, but definitely will be seeing them at http://www.sammiegolden.blogspot.com/
Even got to spend some time in Sammie's 'green room' while she was in competition. Fantastic!
Gathered round in celebration.

Oh Sierra and Ma - we are BACK!!! And absolutely ADORE this post! Some confusions about which dog is Sierra and who Sammie I see!!!??? But we know winkwink twinkle! Really super shots - what an eye - thinks you should be a dog show photog/writer - you are too funny. But more seriously - a zillion thanks for all your super help - Sierra: you were pawesome as always and your Mom's organizational camp skills really helped keep us together - what a mom you have, dear girl!
ReplyDeleteBig Hugs xoxoxoxoxoxo
Sammie
Woof! Woof! How Sweet that you watched Sammie's competition. Isn't neat to see all the stuffs around but it can be exhausting. Will check out Sammie's blog later. Have a great weekend. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful and egg-citing day you had! So cool about Sammie's win. We will trot over there to congratulate her! As always, you are such a furry good rePURRter!
ReplyDeleteThat is super exciting! So much to look at, other dogs to sniff, stuff to buy. Congrats to Sammie on her 2nd place, too!
ReplyDeleteWow, that was such a great day. That RV with the dog fence set up was cool - they're stylin fur sure! Oh Sierra, when you get in there you will do great. Everyone did look really serious. I bet all were tired on the way home. Happy weekend to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you all had a terrific time!! We love the shows!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend!
Woofs and Kisses!
What a day indeed!!! So much fun you and Sammie had! And of course, congrats to Sammie for making second place. Glad you and your mom got to go with Sammie and her mom.
ReplyDeleteSam & June
Hi Sierra, we will have to check out Sammie's blog (falling behind again!).
ReplyDeleteThe girl did very well! Just loved that T shirt from Paco, Milo and Mayo.
You were a very good girl to behave so well at such an exciting event.
We would not have been happy with all those doggies and things happening - it is good that are being so well socialised whilst you are young!
We are glad you all had such a fun and successful trip.
Weren't those beaded eggs cool!
love
Martha & Bailey xxx
It looks like you had a fantastic day - just don't let your Mom get ideas about grooming - that's what happens whenever our Mom goes ot a show.

ReplyDeleteWhat a day! But, my favorite photo of them all is the last one, with Sammie sacked out after her big accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic time you had. I was most impressed by the RV set ups for some reason. Thank you so much for the many photos!
ReplyDeleteTwinkie
What a fun day you had. So much to see and do. We thought the RV's were cool. We can't wait to go camping, but we don't have a set up like those! :) Glad you had a great time.

BowWowzer Sierra, that was an exciting post!! They won't allow us pooches in at the dog shows around here. They say "NO DOGS ALLOWED" at a dog show!! Can ya imagine? I guess us regular pooches are too unpredictable.

Smooches,
BabyRD and Hootie
