Here is an older pic of Starmie so you get an idea where I'm going with this.

What went right - We got best of breed!!

What went wrong - Haven't shown in a while since I had injured my shoulder.
1. Lost my grooming kit, no clippers no fancy scissors, Had to use a slicker brush as the dogs had chewed handle off pin brush! Household scissors no help either.
2. Shoulder too bad to get dog [100lbs.] on table,crawl on knees to get job done!
3. Go to try show clothes on 10:00 at night and realize, hey I put on weight! Go to drugstore get dye to make older clothes that fit work.
4. Get to show and look at dog with fifteen minutes to spare,Oh noo, I missed trimming the nails and hair on 1 whole foot. Run to truck grab crap scissors touch up foot, now long nails even more noticable!!!
5. Find out I have paid 25.00 entry,35.00 in gas, 7.00 in dye and we are the ONLY borzoi to have showed up.So we get best of breed but no points!!!
6.Want to stay for group, will have time to finish grooming,but it is hot, no shade and would have to leave truck run for at least 3 hrs. to keep dog alive in ac with all that coat. CALLED IT QUITS!!! AURGGH!!
