Muffy’s Ribbons
Monday is typically the day when the Twins share their show results from the weekend. However, “Mom” has felt “under the weather” for the past few days. Of course, this has put me way behind in my emails, blogging and in my card making. Yikes! Since the Twins still have not learned how to type, they had to wait for me to recuperate!
If you have followed my blog for awhile, you will know that the Twins are first and foremost the Schach’s furbabies…two happy and joyous Boxer puppies. They equally love helping Mom stamp AND strutting their stuff in the show ring. Here are the Twins to give you their perspective on the weekend.
Brody’s Ribbons
Muffy: I can’t believe my weekend! Pinch me, someone…I must be dreaming!
Brody: I don’t have posable thumbs. Can I just bite you instead?
Muffy: Oh, Brody! You are so immature. They’re “opposable” thumbs anyway. You could take a lesson or two from me. Just look at ALL of my beautiful ribbons. I have blue ones for winning my 6 Month to Under 9 Month Puppy Class. And purple ones for being selected Winners Female. And then I got one for being Best of Winners, and two more for being Best of Opposite Sex.
Brody: What is Best of Opposite Sex?
Muffy: I don’t know, but its a good thing.
Me: Best of Opposite Sex means that when the judge picked the Best of Breed it was a boy dog. So then she picked the best girl dog, which is the “opposite sex” and that was you, Muffy.
Muffy and Brody: Oh.
Muffy: And Michelle the Handler was really excited, because she said I got my first points.
Brody: What are “points”?
Me: When you are selected as a “Winners Dog” or a “Winners Female”, you are awarded points towards your championship. When you get 15 points, you can be called a “champion”, like your dad and uncle and grandparents. You have lots of champions in your family tree.
Brody: I have a family tree? Is it in our yard?
Me: It’s not that type of tree, Brody. A family tree would be all of your ancestors.
Brody: I have an “ant sister”? But I’m a dog. How can an ant be my sister? Muffy’s my sister. Are you sad ’cause I didn’t get any points, Mom?
Me: Of course not, Brody. You are doing a fabulous job. You moved so nicely around the ring and stood very, very still when the judge checked all of your parts. But you are a little boy, and it is just going to take you longer than Muffy to get all of your muscles.
Brody: And I think that the judd liked it when I touched her hand with my nose.
Me: I think she did, too. I was so proud of both you and Muffy. Where’s Muffy? Brody, where is your sister?
Brody: She’s chewing on her new toy.
Me: New toy? What new toy, Brody?
Brody: She got it off the table where you were doing your stamping stuff, Mom.
Me: There wasn’t a toy there.
Brody: Yes there was. It was the one that has a squeezy part and a pointy part. Air squishes out and you put a writer thing in it. You play with it all the time to make speckly dots.
Me: Not my Color Spritzer Tool!!! Muffy Lin…
As the Twins shared, they did a fabulous job. As for me, I was able to retrieve my Color Spritzer Tool before it suffered the wrath of puppy teeth! Now it’s time to play “Catch Up”! Being down for the count for a couple of days set me back a week. But I will still have my Pals Peek and Reveal to share with you, plus Buried Treasure.
