is anyone going to the International Kennel Club dog shows in Chicago,IL later this month? Gracie and i are going! it'll be our first year at these shows. i'm super nervous because i've never been to a benched show and i don't know what to expect.

I should be fun, you'll make some friends, meet lots of people, and have a good time hanging out. I already emailed you as you know. From last year I know a lot of people have parties, and yes, it is tiring sitting at the bench that whole time but it is way worth it. People will have questions naive questions but think of it as a chance to educate them on a great breed. :)
p.s. I never did it but I hung out around the benches one night so I got the picture.
