Well, I didn't make it to the SC grooming convention, but I still spent the weekend around dogs... even learned a few grooming tips! My show buddy hijacked me for the regional Poodle Specialty (PCM) and dog show cluster... I'm just show equipment, ya know ;-)
Just before ring time I practiced using the video function on the camera (another first for me). As you can see, I got a little silly (shocking, isn't it?) with the closeups... but I couldn't resist that sexy butt (if you don't get it, you're not a dog person - and get your mind out of the gutter). And just look at that face - is he not the sweetest boy ever? Aww. :-)

Yes, it was very windy... what fun everyone had spraying up topknots! Not. LOL They still came out great. And just look at all that competition - there were a lot of big names present that weekend. Great networking opportunities. And while he didn't get any placements (came close, then AKC politics won out) Chaz showed wonderfully with his new handler. That was the most important thing. But someone we know from the UKC ring did take a first & third with her silver, so we still had some jump up & down excitement. :-)
God help me, I never thought I'd become a dog show addict... performance, yes, but conformation - who knew? Karen, it's all your fault. hehehe
