Weekend of Wins!

Yesterday my mom and I headed down to Albany, Or to the Linn County Kennel Club Dog Show to see Odin show since he was already down at the shows for the weekend with his handler, Kevin Chestnut as he was shown on Friday and Saturday. We had hoped that the weekend shows would be major's and that we would capture these two needed wins towards Odin's championship but sadly they broke so we are still in pursuit of these two needed wins.

We got down to the show about 2 hours before Odin's show time so we found the Chestnut's so that we could see how the shows had gone so far and we were happy to learn that on Saturday he had gone Best of Winners and earned a couple more points towards his championship. Since mom had never been to a dog show and we had time to burn before seeing Odin as we didn't want to let him see us before he showed since this causes him to get distracted we watch a couple different breeds and I tried to explain the in's and out's of the showing world to her.

Finally it was time for the Brittany's to show and once again team Odin and Kevin did great. Odin looked really good now that we have the extra weight on him and he showed great and ended up taking Best of Winner's and earned another couple of points.Kevin was happy with his performance this weekend and we discussed the upcoming shows that he'll be in and collected his collection of ribbons that we acquired over the weekend.

By the time we headed out of the show it was already 5:30pm which meant mom and I would have a long drive home in the rain and in the dark. A quick stop in Centrailia for dinner we pulled in around 11pm and boy was Odin happy to be home after being with Kevin for a week. Loki was happy to have his "big brother" home since he was quite lonely the last week. Next up will be the Seattle shows on March 12th & 13th and then the shows in Bremerton the following weekend.
