Oh- Patsy knows nothing about it. Ginia was too afraid to tell her. Our contract includes a promise that if he is in harm for any reason, Patsy can take him back. If she interpreted that as our fault in any way, we would lose him. Ginia didn't want to tell her and I respect her wishes. Ginia's name is on his papers- he's her dog and I want her to make all decisions for him. Personally, I think Patsy would drive up here and kick some neighbor butt, but Ginia didn't want to take a chance. I think more than anything she didn't want to appear like she wasn't doing everything perfectly. I don't really blame her for that, she does depend on Patsy for the mentoring and travel to shows, etc- though trust me- Ginia is earning her way.
Since the first post I have learned the following:
It was raining during the morning show- and the venue was near a highway. Hogan is scared of rain and traffic. It was an outdoor show. Poor guy. Ginia said that made her more nervous than anything and she thinks she made
him more nervous and she got upset after
- so she didn't have that great a first experience but bulked up for the rest of the day and they did better. I could have predicted as much. She's a fighter.
The first show was male rattie puppies
The second show was all rattie puppies
The third show was all terrier puppies.
The same dog beat Hogan all three times- one of Patsy's.
All dogs under 1 year show in puppies. Hogan was the youngest except one female Boston puppy (scary Boston puppy again! LOL)
I still don't know what tomorrow's show is. She is having too good a time to talk to old mama for more than 5 minutes at a time. LOL
