SPECIAL THANKS TO PAULA BENDER FOR SHOWING PIPER AND JOHN DEJP FOR SHOWING DELTA!

Comment, from the judge, on Bugs, when we were doing photos:  "I really like this one, why didn't you show him?"  My answer:  "We did, he didn't make the cut.  I really wanted to show him but was showing another special."  Judge: "Oh really, which one, I don't remember you."  OK, slap in the face, since ZEUS was the first one she pulled for the cut, and the first one she examined when we all went back in!  But, does that mean she wasn't looking at handlers?  
Things that make you go 'Hmmm..."

Well, technically, the way she judged the specials class, one at a time, Dave could have shown all of ours I guess, but when we all were in the ring at the same time, we needed a couple of extra hands.
