In typical fashion, April Perry did not disappoint. With the exception of a Thursday overnight crazy thunderstorm, the weather was perfect. ☀️I was blessed to have a whole week this year with my BFF and couldn’t have done it without her! We had a fun, yummy cookout with lots of great food, libations 🍺 🍷🍹, and good friends both new and old. George (Bucket bitch extraordinaire and closing in on a new level “Plitanium” IYKYK) procured six pounds of shrimp and two bushels of oysters and steamed/shucked them with Caroline’s help 🦪And Elizabeth did whatever magic she does to them with butter, garlic, and other secret ingredients to make them absolutely heavenly 😋 I dont ask questions , I just eat ‘em! Donnalynn (BFF 💕) and I scrambled all afternoon to put together four charcuterie boards, two salads and three desserts plus our signature Mangria. If anyone went hungry, that’s on you! 🤣 The dogs showed well and we came home with a new champion in Zilch (our 92nd!!!). Arrow (the very special poodle 🐩 ) earned another point going Best of Winners to single him out! He was the one who spent five days at NC State Veterinary Hospital last month while we were at the Raleigh shows. Cheeky was BOS x1 and Select x2. Elvis was WD x2 for two more points. Styx was RWB on Friday! Echo made a strong debut with Tia piloting! Mocha won her class x2. Roxy and Lori Q’d and got first place in their first agility trial! Goose (aka Gouda 🧀) Q’d with first place in his first agility trial! Sally and Alexis Q’d in Open Standard! Pat and Wheeler Q’d and completed their title in Novice JWW! Sky and Lori completed their Advanced rally title 🥳. Ruckus and Susan continued to make small breakthroughs (or breakdowns depending on your perspective 😜) and got a 94 in Master! Whew! I hope I didn’t forget anything or anyone. Lots of great results and I can’t wait for the next one! 😎
