The Central Oklahoma
Toy Dog Specialties are well organized set of shows
with several components which should be incorporated
in all dog shows. First was the hospitality extended
to all exhibitors and second was the large number
of excellent breed presentations which ran all weekend.
Each day there was a superb hospitality room with
food and beverages...and if that was not enough they
held a well attended dinner and dance on Saturday
evening. For just $5.00 they provided a huge buffet
of barbeque beef, roasted potatoes, veggies and salads.
Dr. Roger Pritchard, Show Chairman, and his committee
are to be highly congratulated for a job well done.

Hallmark's Jolei Jezebel

After judging at the
Toy Dog show we were of to Doug and Mandy's to test
drive their motor home/truck/transport. Jody had ordered
one also and she wanted to get behind the wheel and
see how it handled. We all took turns seeing how it
handled...Jody felt she would really enjoy driving
her own when it arrived as she felt the 45 foot rig
was not much different than driving her existing box
truck and 33 foot travel trailer. We had a quick dinner
of chicken wings and beer at a nearby Hooters and
were off to bed early.
Day 8
Mandy's Shih Tzu, Julia
was due to have puppies and we decided to stay an
extra day and help her with her first litter. We spent
the day lazing around and later went to cool off and
lounge by the pool at the hotel in the afternoon.
That evening we went to a Triple A baseball game to
watch the local Oklahoma Redhawks as guests of Doug's
bloodhound client and friends Chuck & Wendy Musgrove.
Chuck works for the local television station KFOR
News 4 and we had a great time in the 'private box'
enjoying the upscale non traditional fare and VIP
treatment...definitely not your 'hotdog and beer at
the ball park' atmosphere. Unfortunately Julia did
not have her puppies and we bid Doug and Mandy our
farewells as we would be getting up early the next
day and heading home with fond memories of an exciting
week and looking forward to next years National in
Frederick, Maryland on April 17-21, 2006
.
Trip Home
We were up early the
next day and on the road to Louisville, KY where Jody
lives to spend the next day with her. After an enjoyable
day at Jody's we traveled up the road to spend an
enjoyable evening at Susan And Hank Wueller's of Hansuti
Shih Tzu in Auburn, IN....the final drive home was
long and uneventful and we arrived late in the evening...pleased
about yet another safe and exciting trip and glad
to be in our own beds.
