While we were in Casa Grande, we took two short side trips to go to the Canada del Oro KC & Lost Dutchman KC dog shows in Tucson and Casa Grande. Again we only entered Gracie which paid off in Tucson. Gracie got her first 2 points toward her championship! Hooray. Unfortunately we were not able to follow that up at the next shows in Casa Grande. Gracie looked good and showed well but the nod went to another little girl both days.
Once again our friends Jeffrey and Karen were there with their Mastiffs so we still had a great time at both shows and got vicarious success through them when Surf got more group placements. The first day of the Casa Grande show was quite the experience. The show ground is a pretty dusty place and the wind kicked up to the point where I wondered if I would wake up in OZ. Huge dust storm.
