Grab it, brush it, fluff it all up.

Went to my first ever dog show this weekend over at the racking horse arena in Priceville. Line after line of LUXURY buses and motorhomes crowded the parking area. This wasn't a bunch of folks thowing Rover in the back of the car and toting him to the fair, this was a serious event it seems. I know nothing about the pet show circuit but I'll tell you what, it's alive and well. There were dogs everywhere getting pampered like you wouldn't believe. Brushing, massaging, blow-drying... it was really a spectacle to see. Kyle observed one guy brushing on his dog for 45 minutes STRAIGHT. I was scoping out a spot on the perimeter of the arena I was needing to get a photo in. A friend was showing her dog there and I promised her I'd take a few shots. Suprisingly (or not), I ran into a few people I knew there. They were probably more suprised than me though.

The dog show thing actually happened in the middle of a photo shoot I was doing with some other folks. I had told them beforehand about the show so they took a break while I did my thing there. Beautiful day for being outside for sure. It was in the low to mid-70's and breezy. Just fantastic I tell you. Had some funny moments as I struggled to fold up my oval diffuser panel, the one I fixed last weekend. I folded it up once but didn't have luck after that much to everyone's amusement. (I later did find instructions online on how to do it - a better way than I THOUGHT I had learned before and got it put up)

What a day for football fans. Alabama lost a heartbreaker to LSU, Auburn pulled off a win against Georgia. At the end of that game, they showed the faces of some of the Georgia fans - they were pretty sad I'll tell ya. Good to see the Alabama teams in the mix though even if I'm not a fan of either one. I'm a Tennessee fan back from my days working at Neyland Stadium selling cokes and popcorn as a teenager. They're not doing so hot this season. Sigh.

Church was good this morning after a rough start in warm up. Kyle was WAY off on the Coldplay song we were playing until Jack showed him the key we were playing in and that fixed pretty much everything.

I can sum up my afternoon in 2 words: Nap Laundry
