We start gathering around 7:00 pm.m or so. Conversation is pleasant, non-formal, and, you guessed it, generally around the subject of dogs.
Hope to see ya!

Had some car trouble this morning & had to take off from work. While waiting for the neessary repairs to be performed on the vehicle, we took the Presto Dog canines out in the Phunny Pharm pasture land, had some fun and took pictures of our pack at play.
Here's a straight-on shot of li'l Maggie, our Sheltie show dog:

Lyric, our senior Sheltie at nine years of age, smiles mischieviously as she tries to hide under a folding chair:

Lily with a ballie in her mouth, accompanying the Presto Dog bride on one of those infamous "clean up" missions:

Another picture of Maggie. in this one, she's waiting for me to kick the ball that's in front of her so she can chase it, bring it back to me & get me to kick it again...and again...and again:
 Maggie with Ball Maggie & Lily resting in the shade of our propane tank after running around like crazy:  Maggie & Lily (BTW, that's a set of halogen lights between the two dogs that we sometimes use to illuminate the area when it's dark out.) Here's Dougie trudging up the hill after chasing a bird 1 that happened to fly overhead:  Dougie Trudging Up the Hill

Berks County Kennel Club Dog Show |
|
The formula goes something like this:
- enroll dog in show, either on-line or via snail mail
- prepare dog for judge's inspection
- wait outside ring until your dog's assigned number is called
- enter ring with dog
- let dog go through its paces in the ring
- cross your fingers
- wait for judge's decision
We entertained this experience on Sunday, 4/6/08 'cause we had entered our li'l Sheltie, Maggie, in the Berks County Kennel Club dog show. She did fine by taking first in her class.
But rather than perform an exercise in hyperbole, here instead are some pictures of the event:
 Berks County Field House
Immediately above is a picture some of the tables where the dogs would soon be prepped for the show.  Maggie Getting Ready for Ring
Look above & you can check out Maggie being prepped for her ring appearance.  Sophia the Sheltie Puppy
An up and coming Sheltie, Sophia, eyes the ring where she soon strutted her stuff before the judge.  Keira Wows 'Em
Keira lets the judge inspect her just a few minutes before she was named best in her class.  Miss Kay Is A-O.K!
The day's events would not have been complete without an appearance by Miss Kay. Notice her rapt attention as she patiently waits for the judge in the background to come toward her & perform her mandatory inspection.  Berks Prizes?
Up above is a picture of the soft, plush toys that were awarded to some of the dogs winning their respective classes. As noted previously, Maggie won her class but for some unknown reason didn't get one of these...things. But after a close inspection of the item in question, we're actualy happy that she didn't. What the heck were they, anyway? What would we tell our friends Maggie won for her efforts? Strange, but these things had no trouble standing up nice 'n straight on the table.
Hmmmm. Use your imagination, folks.
