As we had afternoon showtime on Saturday, we drove to Elma on Saturday morning - its about a 2 hour drive. The sun was shining as we left home...and was still sunny when we arrived at Elma. This is a tiny town about 20 miles SW of Olympia - it used to be a big logging area, hence this mural above, representing its historic past. The big event int town this weekend was the dog show - about 950 entries each day. We showed Herbie who won the breed and Thomas who took 2 points and then Herbie won a group 3. Zoey just walked around and saw the sights of the dogs show, in preparation for her debut the next day! Later in the afternoon the heavens opened and it POURED with rain, and was also quite windy. The rain continued all through the night. We had dinner with friends in a brew pub in Olympia, its always fun to get together with people you don't see every week.
Sunday dawned dry and sunny, and we showed at 9am. Thomas won 2 points again and Zoey had her debut and at 6 months and 2 days won 2 points. Herbie won the breed again and went on to win the Hound group. A great day for the team.
Zoey however was outdone by her sister, Sophia in the east, owned by Oleg - she showed Saturday and Sunday and won 2 points on Saturday and 3 on Sunday.
So we are home for 2 days then head of to Raleigh in North Carolina for the National Beagle Specialty. We are not taking any dogs, but just going to watch.
