JOANIE GOES TO THE GARDEN.........Follow us on our adventure to New York and Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. |

From her sledding harness...to the bath tub,
Joanie gets bathed before the big show.
Unfortunately she lost most of her coat down the
drain.
This photo is taken at the home of Connie Rudd,
Virginia.

Good friend Gena Serra from MD helps to hold Joanie, while I load our gear in to the freight elevator of Madison Square
Garden.

Notice the pink booties she's wearing?
Katie Couric , from NBC's "Today Show", did. These helped to keep her feet clean. All well-dressed dogs wear these, don't they?

The benching area, is a little "snug" for us while we wait with Joanie for our ring time.

SHOW TIME..... Joanie makes the cut!

A special thank you goes to
Connie for her expertise
in grooming Joanie. Photo at left taken by Connie Rudd

After showing, we were on a quest to find
Balto in Central Park. We found him....

This was a wonderful adventure filled with lots of great memories. Many sights were seen. One of our most exciting events was appearing on the
Today Show. Connie, Gena, myself and Joanie were in the crowd outside the Rockefeller Center at the taping of the show. Al Roper interviewed Connie and
Joanie. Sorry, we didn't have our camera's. But....we did have our families tape the show.
We'd like to thank Connie, Gena, Tammy Walther & Marge Goodenough for giving us your support at the show. What great friends you all are! |
