Jerry Seinfeld Quote - sort of

This morning on one of my very favorite TV shows, CBS Sunday Morning, there was an interview with Jerry Seinfeld.  Evidently he has a show that has been on some cable network for 6 years (or seasons?) called Comedians in Cars with Coffee (or something like that).  Who knew?  Anyway they talked about how he still does stand-up because it keeps him down to earth.  Like someone worth $800 million can be down to earth.  Might have only been $80 million but after the firs $20 million isn't it all about the same?  I wouldn't mind finding out....

The quote that I actually laughed out loud and wanted to share was from a clip they did of his stand-up act went something like this: 

"A lot of people my age are making Bucket Lists.  I made one, looked at it, changed the 'B' to an 'F' and was done with it!"  
- Jerry Seifeld

I think that's my plan.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Congratulations to the BOS Havanese puppy girl too!


After huge airline delays, cancelled flights, etc, Dave and Sizzle finally made it to Norway late Saturday.  BUT it was in time to be at the show this morning and do very well.  While Sizzle has three AKC Beginner Puppy Group 1s here in the US, this was his first show outside of the US and his first show on outside on grass.  We are very proud of our boy that will be in Norway with his new mom Wivi-Anne Olsen.

Boy do I wish that the spectators (exhibitors, handlers, other judges, and the public) had a vote.  Tazi would have won the breed every day, Varias and Zeus would have won their groups.  They all showed fabulously this weekend.  Thank you to all of the judges for their recognition, and to Grace Freeman for her help with the Havanese.

Our Bichons had direct conflicts with Havanese every day, well Saturday & Monday.  
So they did not get shown :( since it is our policy to put our own dogs last if there is a conflict with client dogs.  
They were not entered on Sunday.  

A Week Behind…(or a WEAK behind? :)

Well, I guess my surgery went OK.  I left the hospital, and am getting around.  Sore and kind of itchy so I guess I am healing.  Yesterday, I went back for my post-surg check up and they said "Wow, you are hardly bruised at all!"  Didn't know I was supposed to be, but I guess when they go digging around on the inside, you are supposed to bruise badly on the outside.  I was just happy that I didn't have huge goose-egg bruises like last time.  No more gory details. 

Dave rented a scooter for me so I could get around the Topeka show site.  I was still exhausted by the end of the day.  Well, OK, on Saturday I was back in bed by 1:00.  

I am still really tired and sore but getting better every day!

Thank you to everyone for all of their well-wishes.  

I will be putting the results up for the Topeka show later today and tomorrow.
