the pup and i just got back from our first dog show. and he was so good! he and the princess l clearly were the best behaved, most beautiful, nicest, cleverest, coolest of all the hundreds of dogs there. their teacher from puppy school last fall came with us, and she agreed. and she's a puppy teacher, so she should know!

unfortunately the pup decided to only stand on three legs. and apparently if you stand on only three legs you can't win, even if you are the best behaved, most beautiful, cleverest and coolest of them all. so he didn't win. i'm not sure there's something wrong with the fourth leg, though. sometimes he just seems to feel like resting one of his legs, like a horse...

i was really pleased he was so cool about it all. there were dogs barking and fighting and playing and growling and running everywhere, and he spent most of the time sleeping. he was polite too, and kissed the judge's hands and cheeks.
