Saturday Fun

We had a very fun and busy Saturday.  Our morning started off just like any other Saturday, off to The Little Gym for our morning lessons. 

Then it was off to something new and different.  Monica’s folks got a new puppy back in the fall and he is an Australian Shepherd from award winning parents.  So needless to say, Wes and Gayle have ventured into the world of Dog Shows.  This weekend they entered Moses into the Heart of Texas Austrialian Shepherd Club show.  There are several shows through out the weekend and Moses won his group last night and came in 3rd in his group this morning.  We headed out to go and watch Moses in the competition this afternoon.  There was lots to see and do.

Started off the afternoon with a snack for the girlies.

Hanging out before the show.

Next it was time to get Moses ready for his age group showing.  Karyn loved petting Moses.

Pose with Daddy, she has some of the funniest faces.

Then it was time for Dad/Wes to take Moses onto the show floor.  There the dogs had to “stack” (a way to stand and pose for the judge), trot around next to their trainers, then the Judge checked their muscles and builds, then a walk down the runway and another trip around the circle.  The judge placed Moses to go first on the last go around and as Dad and Moses came around the Judge announced that Moses was first.  We were all very proud of Moses and he got a blue ribbon.  Moses will also get to compete a little later against all the first places winners towards the end of the show. 

After this we had about 30 minutes before Moses would go on again so we took this time to take a break and were able to get a mini photo shoot in.  We got some great pictures!!

Then we tried to get pictures of the girls with Moses: Fail

We did manage to get one of Katie Lynn with Moses.

To end the day we all went back in to watch Dad and Moses with all the male winners for the day.  Not sure how many dogs there were but there were a lot, and I had asked a lady, who has shown dogs for years, how Moses was doing and she said well but that puppies never win this event or come close.  Well the dogs did their thing and then the Judge announced the winner, not Moses.  We all clapped and were proud of Moses, then the Judge announced 2nd place……MOSES!!! We were all shocked and so excited.  Moses won Reserve Winner Dog and got a really cool purple/white ribbon.  Everyone came up to Dad, Mom and Moses to say congrats.  Here is a picture of the proud Papa with his prize winning dog. 

We had lots of fun and we are sure there will be lots more ribbons for Moses in the future. 

We finished our Saturday night off by going to a soccer game for one of Monica’s former students.

Needless to say, fun was had by all and everyone will sleep well tonight.
