I haven't been around very much lately, but I thought I'd share some newer pictures of Dance. She's 8 months old now.
Dance had her first show this weekend (Saturday and Sunday). We did our best and Dance was wonderful. She did almost everything perfectly. We came is last both yesterday and today though because (I think) her confidence wasn't as high as the other puppies'. She didn't look alert/happy enough and leaned too far into me when the judges went to touch her tail. She wasn't the only one to act a little shy though and she did improve a lot throughout the two days. Yesterday morning when we arrived she was super excited to be there, whereas on Saturday she was timid of everything. Dance's sister won Best Puppy in Breed yesterday. There were 6 entered in our class (Junior Puppy Female) both days. Overall we had a good weekend experience wise and hopefully by February (next show) we'll do a little better and maybe place. Just have to work up her confidence with strangers more!
I knew going there that Dance was probably going to be a little shy and wouldn't give as much expression as the judges like, and I was very proud of her regardless of the outcome. I only entered her and I for the experience, and actually getting a ribbon would have just been an added bonus.
Anyway, onto the pictures! They're pretty random, taken throughout the month.
And here are the most recent, taken yesterday:
That's everything!
