We've really been missing dog shows lately, but this past weekend we had our fix.
We took our first winter road trip to do a show near Glens Falls, NY and it was great fun. We stayed at a really nice motel where I spent lots of time jumping on and off the bed and chewing on my new squeaky ball. And I made a whole bunch of new American friends.
You'll never guess what happened on Sunday - I saw Mama kissing another dog! Yup, that's right. From high up on my grooming table I got an excellent view of the arena. A few feet away, I saw that Oscar the Pitbull set up a kissing booth. Hey, that was smart, I thought ....
Dude, turn around or you're not going to get even one kiss!

I couldn't believe my eyes!! I thought I was her favourite dog. Well, I know I'm her favourite because she's always loving me up. And she only wanted a couple of slurps from this guy. But she did seem a little taken by him and it made me feel, I dunno ... jealous.

Then to add insult to injury, she got this sticker and wore it all afternoon.

Anyway, later in the evening we went for a drive and I was so quiet in the back seat. So Mama gave me chin tickles and kisses and a cookie! And I felt much better.
........................Crunch. Crunch. OK, I'm over it.

At the motel I played with my new squeaky ball. It is my toy du jour. I love it so much.
Here are some interesting sights from the show.
The best ever toy shop.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot - me in the ring.Can you spot me ?
The ribbons I won.
At the start of American shows, everyone stops to sing The Star Spangled Banner and O Canada. We love that. It's very classy.
A couple of weeks ago, I promised to pass on the awards I got from Abby, Tucker, Oscar and Tinkerbell. I'm sending them on to:

You play just like me! Honk, honk, honk! I cannot believe your mom was kissing that other doggie. You are just looking so super handsome at the show.

Hi Chef. First of all, congrats on your ribbons! Secondly, we don't think you need to worry about Oscar kissin' your mom. It was all for charity and besides, you got major chin rubs and toys for the ordeal. Maybe next time you can set up belly-rub stand :-)

That looks like it was a fun and informative trip! But you definitely should have given your mom a harder time about the whole kissing another dog thing! Mom Kisses should be reserved for you right? :)

Of course you are the best looking dog at that show, bar none!
That squeaky toy was great. Dawson would love it.
Other dog kisses are OK. They are really leaving messages for you on your mom. You will get the hang of translating them as you get older.
Thanks for the award. I will add it to my slide show if the crazy old bat can figure it out.
I only want my Mama to pay attention to only me too. I would be very frustrated if she paraded around with a sticker like that too! I don't blame you Chef! Good job on winning fancy ribbons!
Hugs,
CoCo
How cool! Congrats on your ribbons!
I know how U feel. U're so handsome and the dudo was lucky that he was far away from U. If he spot your beauty, he would not kiss your mom and ran away in tears as U're to BEAUTIFUL.
See U at the ring eventually as I will be joining confirmation soon, too.
w00f's Chef, ur mama wuz just being nice to dat puppy, u no who she went home wiff, uuuu...congrats on all ur ribbons and ur awards...

Chef baby, don't be jealous, I'm sure you're the love of your mama's life! I just know it.
Mom says she's been really bad at reading everyone's blogs lately. Really really busy but she likes that cuz she hates COLD January. It's been a little rough don't ya think this winter?
Glad you had fun at the show. Your parents always see the coolest things.
Thanks for the award Chef!

Congratulations on your ribbons and your awards, Chef! I get pretty jealous too when my mom gets lovin' from another strange dog, but at least you got a cookie and some kisses to make up for it. Thanks for passing an award to me!
Congrats Chef! You are so gorgeous!
Congratulations Chef. You are one special dog!
Rambo
pee ess. How dare that pit bull kiss your Mom! Shall we take him out? I have some cousins in Mexico I can call.
How could your mamma cheat on you with that Oscar? You are much more handsome Chef and you have the ribbons to prove it!
Your friend,

You are soooo handsome, Chef - CONGRATS for doing so well at the Dog Show. Not that I'm surprised, as handsome as you are. I can understand you feeling a bit left out when your mommy was kissing that other dog... Oscar was it, hmmmm?!;) But I don't think any other dog can ever measure up to you, so no worries. ;)
We are actually going to a small show here in Sweden tomorrow... but James will not be shown, we are only there to cheer on some of our good friends (one doggie being James' half brother).
Anyhow, we wish you and your family a wonderful weekend, Chef!
Stinkin' kisses from Alih & James in Sweden.
