On The Way to Nationals



Fall. Brightly colored leaves. Crisp cool air. Picturesque views. This is what I'm madly anticipating on my adventure to Clemmons, North Carolina for the Pug Nationals. Loaded with camera in hand.

I'm looking forward to making new friends both people & pugs. Sidney and Jasper got Halloween costumes for the party on Wednesday night. This is the first year that I found costumes that fit well enough to purchase. Sidney will be a devil and Jasper will be a bumble bee. Jasper really wants to devour the hot dogs in the contest but I don't want him to have a belly ache. So he's really going to have to convince me. Those eyes and sounds he makes usually do the trick.

I've entered Jasper in Rally on Thursday and Obedience on Friday. Sidney just gets to watch his big bro show him how it's done. Jasper is trying for his second CDX leg. The obedience judge, Victoria Brown, is fair and keeps a respectful distance from the dogs.

I'll be taking lots of pics and video. When I get back to Delaware, I'll edit it and make a DVD.

I just love fall. It's my favorite season. A Halloween pug party, dog show, new friends, and phenominal scenery... just what the doctor ordered!

Maybe we'll meet up at a future Pug Nationals. I'm planning on 2011 for Sidney's debut.
