--Always a wonderful time at the Louisville, KY Cluster!--

Lily's Thunder in the Distance "Raiden"

   Man do I love the Louisville cluster! I have so many wonderful friends in that area, it never fails to be an amazing weekend. While I didn't win all day every day, the wonderful performance and effort given by the dogs was totally worth it. Thurs started off a bit slow, with Walker Coonhound CH Josie taking Select. Friday was much better! SC Chi Frosty was Res. WD, SC Chi Arizona was WB and BOW for a 3 pt. major win! Good girl Zona! Walker CH Josie was Select Bitch again, but showed the best she ever has. I always feel so awestricken at the effort the dogs give and when one really nails it and has a blast doing it I feel so blessed to share the ring with them. And I jumped in the ASCOB Cocker ring to show a lovely boy to BOW and BOS! Thank you ladies for letting me show Buzz for you!
   Saturday was another great day, with Frosty again awarded Res. WD. Arizona was still on fire as WB for her THIRD major with a 4 point win this time! Awesome! LC Chi Raiden, was Res. WD to a nice 4 point major from the 6-9 puppy class! Never have I seen a dog truly enjoy showing like he does! CH Josie was again Select. Sunday lovely again Frosty was again Res. WD, So close! Arizona was Res. WB. What a fantastic weekend for us in Louisville. The company was wonderful, and I absolutely enjoyed myself. Thank you so much to everyone who visited, helped, etc etc etc. Huge congratulations to all the winners, it was such a pleasure to see you all
