While Avonlea was back being taken care of by our vet team, I was able to slip over to the Ocala Dog shows. They happened to be only 10 minutes from our vet! I’m completely exhausted, but I was glad I got to see the Labs and cheer on our boy.
Gangster showed beautifully and brought home a second-place ribbon, despite being terribly out of coat right now! Very proud of him, and he’ll be back in the ring tomorrow. 💛
Lancelot will most likely make his appearance next weekend as his handler continues working on training and helping him get comfortable with this whole showing thing. Video below of how I found him today. He thinks the other dogs there showing are obviously there to play with him. Such a puppy still 🐾
Congratulations to all of today’s winners! Such a beautiful lineup of Labradors! it was a pleasure to watch them all! 🏆
Now time for Avonlea and I catch up on rest. 😴
